    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    A couple of weeks ago, upon starting up the computer, my chipset fan started braying like a wounded mule. It was only turning @ about 1500 rpms. After it warmed up a few minutes it slowly climbed back up to about 6000 rpms and the braying ceased. It has never went that low again, but now it...

    A8N-SLI + SpeedFan 4.20 (nforce4 bus support)

    I have a couple of case fans hooked up to the cpu and the fan 1 headers. (am water cooling) I can adjust the rpms on fan 1 and fan 2, but fan 3 is the chipset fan and speedfan 4.18 won't adjust that one for some reason. The low rpms I'm getting on the chipset fan I now believe to be...

    A8N-SLI + SpeedFan 4.20 (nforce4 bus support)

    Yes, I got the same bizarre readings using 4.20. Kinda spooked me a little with those 3 127 degree readings. Also, the fans didn't respond to that version. I went back to ver. 4.18. As an aside, after I flashed to final bios 1003, my nforce chipset fan rpm's went down. now @ 7000 - 7600...

    Asus SLI - Deluxe BIOS 1003 - official -

    Dunno if it's related or not, but I flashed to the 1003 final bios yesterday. Came back to the computer today after it had been sitting idle for a spell and it had lost my Maxtor 300 gig SATA drive. ... Rebooted, still gone. Powered off and back on... there it was. Came back. Weird. I know...

    Asus A8N-SLI Overclokers

    "I've had the fsb up to 308 X 8, mem @ 217 with memory @ auto settings. But if I go over about 245 fsb or so, I get Prime 95 errors." In general, I would recommend trying the following.... first listen, then think, then speak

    Asus A8N-SLI Overclokers

    I am doing all my settings changes through bios as I'm not really comfortable using the various Windows tweak apps. I was unable to do much of any overclocking until the memory settings ratio thing was figured out by varios users (thank you all) and get a sure pci bus lock. I'm still...

    Asus A8N-SLI Overclokers

    If you're running the 1003.005 bios, make sure you set the pci lock setting to 33.34. I was having the same problem as you, not being able to get over 215 fsb. The various utilites showed the pci bus @ 33.34 but I would get blue screens and "stuttering" loopback sounds in games. The 1003.005...

    A8N-SLI standby oddity

    I was putzing around last nite and exited Windows XP Pro via the "standby" route. It's normally something I dont do, cause I never use it. I've got my system stabley (so far) nicely overclocked to 240 fsb, 1/1 memory. Upon going into standby, the whole computer powered off, with the exception of...

    *** Official ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (nForce4) Thread ***

    Ebay has listed quite a few A8N-SLI boards ranging in price from 198 - 299 using Buy it now. Prices will continue to creep lower (IMHO) as MSI, DFI, Gigabyte, ect. come out with their boards. I would guess in 3-4 months you will be able to pick one up for 160 bucks or so. I jumped in for 201...

    The power rails on the Ultra X connect seem strong. Asus probe sees 12 volt rail @ 12.22, 5 volt rail @ 5.05. 3.3 volt rail @ 3.31. All seem stable at those voltages. I do have alot of stuff in this build. It's a Beantech acrylic case, and it's got some lighted fans, (3 - 80 mm, 2 - 120 mm)...
