    A8N-SLI: HTT locked at 5x!!

    Well I flashed back to BIOS 1003 and the HTT adjustment actually works now. Not that it made any difference -it wasn't affecting my overclock after all. This is rapidly becoming one of the worst overclocking boards I have ever used and even at stock speeds it isn't rock stable. Asus need to sort...

    A8N-SLI: HTT locked at 5x!!

    I've had problems running my A8N-SLI over 233MHz FSB at 1T since I got it at Christmas, even with memory dividers. I was running out of ideas until I loaded up nTune and saw my HTT (LDT) speed was being reported at 1170MHz (5x) when I had set it in the BIOS to 4x. I then tried setting the HTT...

    ASUS A8N-SLI BUGCODE_USB BSOD

    I have so many USB devices plugged into my A8N-SLI that I have had to add another USB PCI card cos I ran out of ports. I run my 3500+ at 234x11 = 2572MHz with no problems. What WAS giving me problems was that cheap chipset fan on the nforce4 - I whipped that off and replaced it with a Vantec...

    Dell Ultra Sharp 1905FP

    I've got a 1905FP. My last monitor was a 17" CTX PR705F. If you're used to a CRT for playing games on then the first time you play a game on an LCD is quite shocking. Ghosting is apparent in darker scenes, but you get used to it. Overall, it's a great monitor. I don't think a 16ms TFT would...

    eVGA 6800GT PCI-e or Leadtek 6800GT PCI-E?

    rpd162 - I was originally running a 1.1kW dual PSU setup, with one 550W PSU dedicated to the two graphics cards. However, this soon became impractical and the cards wouldn't overclock, so I junked the dual PSU setup and am now running a PC Power & Cooling 510 Deluxe SLI PSU - runs great and the...

    eVGA 6800GT PCI-e or Leadtek 6800GT PCI-E?

    I have two Leadtek 6800GTs in SLI mode on my Asus A8N-SLI. The Asus board has more space between the two PCI-E slots so they fit fine. The best piccy I have is below: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jhbodle/PICT0133.JPG They do look pretty impressive, but I reckon you may have to remove the...

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    When I first thought of changing the chipset heatsink on my A8N-SLI I immediately thought of the Vantec Iceberq copper cooler. I put one on an old NF7-S I have and it was great, so I ordered another one and put it on the Asus: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jhbodle/PICT0129.JPG...

    a8n sli asus goes blue minidump screen then reboots.

    I had random freezes with IE until I uninstalled that nVidia Firewall Management software - it played havoc with my machine.

    Asus A8N-SLI New Beta Bios 1003-006!

    I've just flashed to 1003-006 and changed the CPU voltage to 1.600v in the BIOS. Upon rebooting, the BIOS hardware monitor reported 1.58-1.59v. I might be wrong, but this is better than with the old BIOS right? I thought they only got to like 1.54v. 1.65v still give 1.58v tho...
