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

    I think you missunderstood me. The memory on the PC is running fine. I was quoting what the Asus site about BIOS versions 1015 and later: I noticed at their site they say that version limits DDR400 to only DDR333 under load!! "3. Modify DDR max speed from 400MHz to 333Hz when full loading."...

    I dunno my CPU fan can draw .5 amp(in afterburner) so..... I made my statement about as clear as the manual upon reading post-posting. From what we figured as we were setting them up is that the board can handle up to 2.0A on each header. The 2.0 amp being the absoulte maxium it can handle...

    yes it will thats why i asked, along with all the power supply rails for the mobo also you have to have them all plugged in if you sli for sure, a 7800 was not around when i was settin up but my assumption is that it draws more power then the 6800 ultras which were noted for using alot of power...

    I would avoid that much memory unless you need it, if you need it you should run at 4x512 if you can, if you can not then you should use the cosair if you are not OC much but thats much personal opinion, the rest are all fine I would buy the cheapset if you are not going to push the memory much...

    A8N-SLI Temperature problems.

    Mobo sensor is on the winbond chip no were near the nforce chipset. I read around 55-60(external sensor) everyday when my mobo reads 33.

    Pic. of my A8N-SLI Deluxe

    There is not a sensor on the nforce chipset, the motherboard reading comes from the winbond chip, the only way you can tell how hot your chipset is bye putting an external temp sensor on it. steamnputer

    Flashing the video card is up to xfx I don't know if they even support it, but I would imagine that they do. I only use MSI so I can only speak for them and they do have reflashable bios on the nx6600gt. All the bios(for mobo) should at least work, the majority of any difference in opinion is...

    I believe you need to do sp2 first in fact I would anyway. Then the drivers, for your mobo(1007), the chipset/lan (nforce4), then your video drivers from nvidia(71.84), then the bios for you video card. Also make sure the SLI jumoper is set correctly since you are only using one card the...

    It might work it depends more upon your power supply, I use one and it really is not needed but its nice to have it on the power supply. The one thing that has happened in the past is that people have plugged the 20 pin connector in wrong and fry the MOBO, some of the things on the mobo work...
