Thanks

Nope i've been keeping track of stock at my usual favourite retailers, (scan, komplett, microdirect etc) all are expecting stock early Jan from what i can see.
Guess you've got a few more days to wait till you can purchase one...

Ah well, thanks anyway
Scan have had some. That I can verify. But they only had enough to cover back orders.
I have one Asus A8N-SLI left. Were do you live?
Well, I would be interested in it, how much were you looking for for it?
PM me. This thread is not for selling.
For info Aria have the Gigabyte board in stock now.
The Gigabyte has problems, just looking at it (if you mean the SLI board). For one thing the first PCI-e slot is directly in line with the NF4 chip and 4 of the SATA ports so you better be using very SHORT videocards. It's crap layout wise. And if it's anywhere near as difficult to overclock as their NF3 boards it's pure $hite!
Edit: 2 regular PCI slots (only one usable if you run SLI). Crap! At least they used the bigger mosfets instead of the little ones that kept blowing up all the tim on their NF3 S939 boards! The ASUS has a really nice heatsink.
I'll try to test both boards this weekend. Both boards have their problems from some of the preliminary reports. The MSI looks pretty good if you can find one. Wish I had a DFI to test.

To be fair, there are another FOUR SATA ports, and the chipset cooler looks like its height should allow a graphics card to hang over it. The ASUS is similar although probably slightly better northbridge placement underneath the graphics card's heatsink rather than the PCB. Also the graphics card is gonna have to be pretty long to reach those SATA ports.

Fair enough, but it won't have to be long to hang over the NB. Also anything over a 6600GT will have power cables.
True, I can see SLI boards having a lot of heat issues with that northbridge. The ASUS has something like an 8krpm fan on it IIRC?
I'll be slapping a waterblock on mine

Anandtech liked the board, saying it was a good overclocker:

But I agree that northbride could get a bit hot.
Actually that was for the non-SLI model.Originally Posted by Hades
