    Asus A8N-Sli SE

    Has anyone seen a review of an Asus A8N-Sli SE? I am thinking about getting a s939 PC and I thought that would be a good motherboard for around £80.

    I've got this motherboard and it is very good, the chipset fan does not move much air and you only get 4 sata chanels (0,1 and 0+1 raid supported) and no firewire but other than that it's a great motherboard, a review of this motherboard should be on bonafide reviews.com in a few weeks

    how does the board overclock, I'm thinking of getting an athlon x2 3800+ and 2x1gb corsair xms pc4000 3-4-4-8 ram. I need a board I can try an get 2.4-2.6gz out of the processor on.
    Heatsink wise i'm torn between a zalman CNPS9500 and an scythe ninja.
    Will this board allow a 25% OC?

    havn't done an oc yet, only had it a few days, built my sytem day before yesterday, it will probably clock similar to the delux, it should have no problem, do you have a few days to spare, after my exams i could check the oc on friday?

    can the x2 3800 run at 2.6? that's the same speed as the fx60?

    2.6 is the highest end of the estimate, average overclock seems to be 2.4gz. That figure is from reading round some random forums and sites.

    (EDIT): fx60 has 2x1mb L2 cache compared to 512kb L2 cache on the X2 3800+

    90% will do 2.6ghz.

    If you want a FX60, just get a 4400+ for close to a 1/3rd of the price and clock it.
