Hi guys

In my previous thread (loooooong load times) I explained a problem I've been having due to the fan failing on the motherboard.


Anyway, I need to have the computer working so I am looking at the Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16.

Does everything fit in it fine with all that passive cooling?

Will a 6800GT graphics card fit in?
Will an Arctic Silver Freezer 64 fit?

Basically has anyone had any trouble fitting components in?

Has anyone had an issue with this board...or would you recommend the cheaper premium version over the deluxe?

Many thanks

(sorry if the email sounds panicked - I am panicking!)
 
Interesting what you say about the amount of space, does that apply across the whole board?

I was reading a review of it on hothardware.com and it was saying about how little room there is if you have sli running...I have a creative Fatal1ty X-fi, no other PCI cards as yet but you never know...is it still going to give me the room to upgrade?

(sorry about all these questions but I have to be sure...I'll be ordering it at about 10:00 today, and I have to get either that or the A8N-SLI Premium).
 
Another question... :rolleyes:

I've just been reading in the A8n-SLI premium thread that the chipset gets very hot if the motherboard is mounted vertically as obviously heat rises.

Has anyone had any experience of this?
 
Thanks for the post.

Yes I suppose you could call it upside down...the CPU is at the top of the case and the PCI slots are at the bottom while the memory is vertical. (hope that makes sense).

I am beginning to shy away from that board now as there does seem to be the possibility of heating issues.

I'm basically now open to any suggestions on motherboards, please see this new thread: Need a new motherboard today


Thanks.
