I have 3200+ with a8n-sli deluxe, and I'm a little dissapointed |
| 6 |
with that motherboard: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
- terrible bios! |
| 9 |
e.g.: you set memory frequency (ddr400), then change cpu-frequency, |
| 10 |
and memory setting drops down to ddr266. It is almost impossible to |
| 11 |
fix memory settings and work with cpu-frequency settings... |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
- layout far from being optimal |
| 14 |
if you put long graphic card into peg-16x (gf6800), you will have |
| 15 |
later problems with adding/removing memory chips. To remove/add |
| 16 |
memory, you have to take out graphic card... |

- 2nd lan-chip (Marwell 1Gbit) connected to pci (not pci-express) |
| 19 |
why??? it is pci-express based mobo, so why 1gbit lan on pci??? |
| 20 |
btw, 1gbit = 128MB/s (+duplex), pci = 133 MB/s (single-channel), |
| 21 |
so with 1Gbit lan pci must be pretty saturated... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- 2nd raid/sata again not on faster pci-express, but on old and |
| 24 |
slow pci! Why so many components on old pci??? |
| 25 |

- active nForce4 chipset-cooler terrible loud |
| 27 |
it is some small cooler high-rpm fan without rpm-adjustment, which |
| 28 |
I had to exchange after 2 weeks for passive Zalman. |

Just my 2 cents. I have been using asus-products for about 7 years, |
| 31 |
but I think asus is not the hardware-producer it used to be. Asus |
| 32 |
still makes excelent mobo's for Intel, but its mobo's for AMD64 |
| 33 |
are... well, imho only "average". Nothing more, nothing less. |
| 34 |
For the same (or lower) price you could get much better product... |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If I would like to build a new comp today, I would probably go |
| 37 |
with EpoX, DFI, Gigabyte or MSI motherboards... |
