This is by far the most detailed, unbiased review I ever read for this motherboard.
A must read for all A7N8X owners for first-time installation. :D
No comparision to other nForce2 board though.:(

We never had any problems with the quality of ASUS mainboards and the A7N8X is no exception. What we do criticize, though is the red pen that once again has crossed out the third phase of the VRM. That is, a dual phase power circuitry is used with its known shortcomings at least in terms of long term reliability. In a market with a turnover time of some 6 months, long-term reliability may sound somewhat paradoxical, however, there are enough users keeping their systems around for 2-3 years and that's where we would expect to start seeing some drop-outs.

That's why Asus has a three-year warranty. And 3-phase power is not necessarily better than 2-phase. Its the components being used that count.
