I'm probably going to order a board today, has anyone used this one? Will it work with the Abit Guru panel? Any opinions are welcome, thanks.

I've used the AN8-Ultra, which is basically the same thing as the AN8-SLI but with only one PCI-E slot. It was a very stable board and I didn't have much trouble getting everything set up. In my mind, the AN8-Ultra and AN8-SLI are both fairly good all-around; they've got a silent northbridge heatpipe, a port 80 diagnostic utility, and a nice assortment of features to boot. The uGuru programs, although simple, are helpful. And despite the fact these ABIT boards haven't been talked about much as of late, they're generally very overclockable but if you want to really push your RAM to the limit you may want to pick up some active RAM cooling since the slots are very close together.

And to answer your second question, yes, it will work with a Guru panel.

Thank you for the reply. I plan to overclock, but I'm not going to go crazy. I have a Venice 3000+ E6. I'm probably going to try and tinker to get some more out of it, but I'm not trying to push it to any kind of speed records. Thanks again.

I like everything about this board except the heatpipe. It looks retarded. My A8N SLI Premium and Abit's KN8-SLI have better heatpipe implimentation.

i'm actually looking at getting a different board NOT sure which one but i know i need 2 slots between the SLI's so i can use my water cooling blocks. I was looking at the DFI lanparty's but i heard they are way to pickey any one know?
