A8N - fatal1ty

[a1ien]

Does anyone own this motherboard? The non-SLI version. If so, what do you think of this board? How is the overclocking? Have you run into any problems?

I'm considering this board but I can't find many indepth reviews on it.

They are discontinued........I'd recommend the dfi ultra D.....The new abit boards.....stink

That's the thing... I thought they were discontinued because that's what it says on their website, but newegg is selling them, and I've seen a few other places also selling them on their sites.... 8O

They are discontinued, though you cn still find them in stock. I just built a PC by my brother-in-law out of the step below that, and I really like it. It was very stable, and I had no problem getting an extra 200MHz out of his A64 3200+

I am actually thinking about buying one myself, since I like the Nforce LAN controller that DFI doesn't use, and the passive cooling.

Not imo.
My AN8 Ultra has been stellar, the AN8 32X is getting excellent user feedback incl. from people that have used the Asus A8N32 & the AT8 looks to be the best of the RD480 boards released.

On the other hand I have just sold my Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR ...

They seem fairly solid, I know a few people running them.

i might get an Kn8 im not an extreme OCer maybe a few hundred Mhz 500-700 ish

KN8 stinks because they don't overclock as well as AN8 did.

Maybe not but they can still do over 320 external clock which should be pretty much fast enough for anyone & isn't bad for a relatively inexpensive board.
