    Asus A8N-SLi Confirmation Please!!

    Im very near to ordering this motherboard, and im pretty sure that im going to go for the Standard one and not the Deluxe.

    Would someone please just be able to confirm that the only differences between them is that the deluxe is the same as the standard but with dual raid and dual lan.

    If there is any other differences between the two then could someone let me know please!

    I wouldnt mind forking out the extra dollar for the deluxe one if its quicker, more reliable, or can oc better, but if the standard one does the job just the same, then i know which one ill choose!

    Thanks for this!

    I'm not positive but I have heard that the BIOS is different. I went for the Deluxe, its only £20 more at the mo. From what I can see on Scan the Standard doesn't support Cool n' Quiet and doesn't have a Firewire on the back plate and doesn't have the same overclocking options in BIOS and doesn't come with the external SATA port upgrade thing.

    Wow thats quite a few differences, i was going to get the bgrade one off the ocuk site becuase it was only 50 notes.

    What is cool and quiet buy the way? Keep seeing that around.

    Also i see that you got a Hiper Type R PSU, what do you think of it? My flatmates just ordered one, and im thinking about it too.

    Cool 'n' Quiet automatically adjusts settings in your BIOS to keep the computer as quiet as possible but will still allow you to get the power you need on demand. The Hiper is great, it comes fantastically packed (its a toolbox!) and looks great. On top of that its rock solid, my voltage barely moves. Its also really easy to install, because its modular there are no spare cables mucking up th inside. Its also pretty dang quiet, I can hardly hear it.
