Anyone bought this board from ocuk have they still got the cut trace on the board DFI had to fix a problem on the boards after they were produced.

Wow - I though my mods were ghetto - precision engineering it ain't - I know someone who's just got one from the States - will ask!

mate got the board the second OCUK got them in stock & so did my bro.

Both didnt have the cut trace mate and looked perfect. Working solid as a ROCK

Which Asus? I'm really tempted by the non-32 with heatpipes.

Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16 <==Had this and sold it as there was no room on the pcie slots to fit 2x 512mb 7800 gtxs and my other pci card`s.

Asus A8N-SLi Premium nForce4 SLi <== great board never had any trouble with it.

Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi <==also good board but chip set fan is loud and can fail.

ok cool guys

got mine from here to, no problems with the cut trace, but the board doesnt detect my cpu anymore so needs RMA'ing

they should all have a cut trace. Something to do with the audio outputs.

They cover some of them up with RTV though

I use to have the premium and have never looked back since getting the dfi expert. It clocks much higher (found i couldnt get past 270fsb on the asus) and has more stable cpu voltage. Prefer the board layout as well.

Yeah the Asus A8N-SLI Premium runs out of steam over about 270MHz.

Have heard of a couple of people getting as far as 290 but most do seem to top out at 270. Both the ones that i had were 270max
