Hi

I am thinking of getting one of the above boards and have a couple of questions for those that have one (if you don't mind :) )

The K8NXP

1) How does the positioning of the extra power board affect cooling. It looks to me to be positioned right in the way of the power supply fan sucking air out. Does it really matter??

2) The 3 phase power on the board does not seem to be cooled. The fan of the extra board is a to the right. Do they get hot??

3) How many PCI-E and PCI slots can you use when you have 2 cards in an SLI setup?

4) The A8N board has an extra 4 pin molex for graphics card power. Should I worry that this board doesn't?

The A8N

1) How many phase (3/4) is the power system on the board. The website and reviews do not seem to say?? Should I care??

2) How many PCI-E and PCI slots can you use when you have 2 cards in an SLI setup?

Thanks for your time! :)

Cheers
Andy
