hi there,
i am on the verge of building a new rig and therefore im looking deeply into the components i have selected.....
i was just reading a few reviews on the asus a8n sli deluxe, which is the board i was going to go with.
the vast majority of reviews conclude that it is an excellent board with a couple of little faults, the most "annoying" being that the nforce 4 chip fan is noisy as hell. noise (or rather the elimination of it) is quite important for me.
so i have 2 questions:
a) can anyone who has this board tell me from their own experience, is it really that bad once its all boxed up in a system?
b) does anyone have a good replacment for swapping the old fan for a new one? because i was thinking it may be a fairly custom size/fit making it hard to find a better replacment, has anyone done this? if so, which replacment did you use?
thanks to anyone whos read this far!
ZZ
