    New nForce 4 drivers released

    It is the ethernet driver? Crap I was wondering what was causing all of my BSODs It always happened when I was downloading stuff so I guess it makes sense. I thought the IDE corrupted my data again so I was about to do a format reinstall. Thanks for saving me some work.

    Hey all. I am running a 3200+ winchester on an ASUS A8N SLI with a BFG 6800GT Maxtor 300gig HD and Muskin Lvl2 V2 black. Basically for some reason all my benchmarking scores are quite low. My Sandra CPU bench is only 7985 dhry and 3720 whet. This is below what semprons score with a slower...

    Can't overclock my Athlon 64 3200+ on ASUS A8N-SLI

    dababus I have very similar issues, but for me the cap is around 218 FSB 1:1 and when run a memory divider I can't get over 235 HTT before Prime95 gets errors. I don't think it is your chipset temp as mine never raises above 30 C. I don't think it is your powersupply either. When did you...

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

    I have only read the last few pages of this thread. Have any new drivers come along yet that don't consistently drop Maxtor DiamondMax 10 drives yet? Also can you enable NCQ yet or is that still definately out of the question with the nForce4?

    Alright I uninstalled then reinstalled Nvidia's drivers and I still get no Hi Speed support. WTF.

    USB2.0 on A8N SLI

    So if I uninstall and reinstall the chipset drivers then it should work?

    USB2.0 on A8N SLI

    I know this must sound awfully dumb, but I can't seem to get USB 2.0 working on my A8N SLI. I have SP1 and SP2 installed which is supposed to confer USB 2.0 drivers, but it says that none of my USB ports are Hi-Speed and run at slow USB speeds. Anyone have any clue to correct this?

    Monarch is selling a AMD PCI-e MB ( not nforce4)

    This is not a deal. Some other sites have had this board on sale for over a month for less than $100 and had them in stock.

    Asus A8N-SLI Delux and sound card problem

    When I say board issue I don't mean you should RMA it. I mean they just seem to not like to play nice together a lot of times and so the way and order in which you install it could be important. I am going to play with my soundcard a bit more this week and let you know.

    Asus A8N-SLI Delux and sound card problem

    That thread has a lot of crazy talk. A NeoPower should power the rig fine. There is a lot of misinformation floating around and people are thinking that all the power is only being drawn from 1 rail when it is not. It can be a problem, but the rails are generally set up so that doesn't...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe: many defective boards identified

    The motherboard CPU and RAM all have as much access to as much amperage as they want on a NEOPower if Asus's diagrams are correct. The Motherboard is supplied with the FULL 32a. With at least 15a of that being exclusively drawn to the motherboard. The additional 18a rail can either be drawn...

    Updating Maxtor HDD

    Does anyone know where and how this can be done. I have heard that with the issues it has been having with nForce 4 boards that they have released a firmware update, but I don't know where to find it or what to do with it.

    A8N-SLI Deluxe: many defective boards identified

    So basically having a NeoPower I am screwed? $110 for nothing? I mean I have been having BSODs, but I figured they were from having troubles with OS installs or possibly a bad HDD, not my powersupply considering I spent a considerable amount of time considering supplies and went with one I was...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe: many defective boards identified

    Wait wait wait. You are telling me that ASUS and all other manufacturers are coming out with boards that basically don't work with any of the new ATX 2.0 power supplies? That is freaking idiotic. Plus I could swear that on the dual 12 volt rail systems that if you run a single rail all power...

    Why does anyone care about NCQ support?

    For me SATAII with double the transfer speeds seems more important.

    Asus A8N-SLI Overclokers

    Thanks for the advice. I have run them at lower voltages too. I am just using that as an example of giving headroom. Really though these are TCCD chips that run 2225 pretty damn stable at 200 mhz and will run that up to the 215 barrier at the rated 2.7 voltage. Thing is the barrier is rock...

    Asus A8N-SLI Overclokers

    If someone could answer this question I would be much appreciative. I have a 3200+ on an A8N SLI using Mushkin Lvl2 Ver. 2 Black. Which is the Samsung TCCD 2225 RAM. Even after going to Beta Bios 1003.5, loosening RAM timings to 3448, upping RAM voltage to 3.0, upping CPU voltage to 1.58, and...

    Lots of BSODs

    Like many here I have been attempting to get my A8N SLI up and running correctly. So far my biggest problems appears to be in my OS, however it might be my hard drive causing the OS problems. Basically Windows seems unable to install without files being corrupt. Only once have I had a...

    Putting together my Asus SLI tonight

    One thing. Don't install the nVidia IDE driver or any of the other driver other than the ethernet. IDE driver causes problems.

    HUGE leap forward with A8N SLI Deluxe overclocking

    Could somebody do me a favor and go through the exact steps you go through to achieve these OC's? I just want to know the proper way to keep the configuration I put together. I ask here because I am using the A8N SLI with an extremely similar setup to all of you.

    Windows XP Service Pack 2 Cripples TCP/IP

    Hey Corona, I have had nearly the same problem when I installed XP SP2 as well!! Thing is I am using an Asus A8N SLI. I think that Nvidia ethernets don't like SP2 and there is some sort of weird driver conflict. I am going to play with it more and tell you what happens.

    what psu for a8n-sli deluxe is everyone using?

    I went with the Antec Neopower because it is pretty safe, but be aware that the Neopower likes to run the 12v rail around 11.75 the good thing is that no matter how much load you throw at it the 12v rail never seems to dip. Still something to be aware of.

    XP SP2 on A8N SLI?

    Ok well I got the whole partitioning thing fixed up and have my whole hard drive showing (who else is still tired of the marketing bull that 300000 MB = 300GB though my drive is technically 297800 or so MB). I still can't get through to the internet I have turned off my firewalls. Is it...

    XP SP2 on A8N SLI?

    Basically what has happened is I installed XP on my new rig I just put together. Everything was going fantastic. No problems whatsoever. I could connect to the internet fine. Then I installed Service Pack 2 and now I can't get to any webpages. I uninstalled and reinstalled my nForce4...
