Asus A8N-VM CSM

[mrbanana]

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting an Asus A8N-VM CSM and pairing it with a 3800 X2 or 4400 X2.

Has anyone got one yet? And if, so what are your impressions? Any problems with the board? Any niggles?

Mike.

I've got it. Nice board, but i couldn't fit any of the silent heatsink fans that i bought for it as the northbridge cooler is so close. In the end i had to fit the noisey on that came with my opteron cpu. Not happy.

If you can find a CPU cooler with only on lever on the side you might be ok.

Thanks for the heads up on the cooler. I guessed it was going to be tight being an matx board.

Are you using sata or pata hard drives? I'm sure I read somewhere there's a problem with pata drives (or mixing pata and sata) but maybe I'm imagining it.
