    Overclocking an A8N32-SLI Deluxe

    Sorry to post in two sections, but the lack of posts make me think maybe someone here might have this board and this problem before. Are there locked SATA Ports on the A8N32? I see an option to change the PCI speed. Do I need to mess with that? I've had my old Opteron 146 over clocked...

    How much have you spent at Newegg

    I've made a few decent purchases from newegg in the past year, but nothing like a plasma or LCD tv (got those at other places), but I was checking on an order and clicked order history. I added it up just for fun and in the last year I have spent 2825.16 there. I'd hate to see the figure...

    Input on current 939 dual cores

    Hey guys, I'm going to be upgrading my system (specs below). I don't see the benefits in me stepping up to AM2 at this time, but do want to get up to dual core. I'm looking around the 250 - 300 dollar range. I plan on overclocking what ever I get, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of...

    Help, I need to flash my A8N32-SLI DX

    I run Windows XP SP2 and every time I try the AsusUpdate it says "no asus motherboard", so I downloaded awdflash and the a8nsd016.bin file and put them on a bootable floppy. When I boot to it and run 'awdflash a8nsd016.bin' it says select file (which is allready in the box) so I hit enter. Then...

    About as far as you can go with air

    I wanted to see how far I could take air. I don't think I have the time, patience, or money for water cooling right now. Dual videocard water blocks just looks like a pain to try and setup. The link below is a post I made in a thread about how insanly hot our 7800GTX cards were getting. I...

    The Thermal compound included with Zalman CNPS 9500

    I'm planning on overclocking the Rig in my sig. The Zalman HSF I bought came with a tube of thermal compound, but is there a difference between it and Arctic Silver? My CPU should be here tomorrow, and all I have left to buy is the video card (when ever Newegg gets it in). If the Zalman compound...
