Asus A7N8X-E deluxe

[Drizzy]

Has anyone tried any overclocking with this board? Specifically with the Barton 2500+?

From what I understand, this is a pretty good board to do just that. Someone else here will probably be able to help you more.

I may be buying the A7N8X-X soon, unless I hear of a better cheap mobo, and I plan on OCing. (never done it before, though.)

Good luck.

I have this mobo with a Barton 2600+ and 1 GB of Mushkin Level II 3200 RAM. Not exactly the setup you have. Mine ran 11.5x193=2219.5 stable without a problem. Currently its runnin 11.5x190=2185.

There are three top nForce 2 boards.

The Abit NF7-S 2.0, ASUS A7N8X Deluxe and DFI Infinity.

The Abit NF7-S is the one I would go with, it has more OC options than the two other boards, but the A7N8X has more features than the Abit board. I'm personally not a fan of DFI, but some fanboys swear by them and a said accomplished 275 FSB.. Just because the DFI board offers 275FSB doesn't mean the board can handle it 🙂

I just hooked my A7N8X-E Deluxe up last week, with a 2500+ and 1 GB Buffalo Tech PC3200. Currently running at 200 FSB (3200+). Runs great so far. I don't go for a lot of benchmarks and stability tests though. If it doesn't crash no matter how many programs, games and games I run, than it's stable. No glitches so far.

Wait, what's that burning smell?....

What's the difference between the A7N8X Deluxe and the A7N8X-E Deluxe other than
the fact that the latter officially supports 400 MHz CPU FSB and has a PCI Gigabit LAN
controller? Basically, what makes the A7N8X costlier than the A7N8X-E inspite of the
fact that the latter has these "improvements" over the former?
