444478 2006-04-06 12:14:00 My current mobo has faults (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum)

I have the option to replace it with either ASUS A8N-E or A8N-SLI.

On my current mobo there is a fan (4cm) that runs at 7500rpm non-stop, and makes a heck of a racket. Are the ASUS boards also loud?

I don't use SLI, but someone said they are higher quality, is that right?

What should I take? MSI Neo4 Platinum, ASUS A8N-E or ASUS A8N-SLI.

444479 2006-04-06 12:19:00 SLI is higher quality? :rolleyes:

uh........no.

Asus produce quality.

Take whatever board suits your needs,Are you going to run SLI?

444480 2006-04-06 12:26:00 Not going to run SLI.

So, any of those two Asus is better than the MSI?

444481 2006-04-06 12:32:00 Im not a fan of MSI, Seen to many dead or troublesome boards from that brand to be anything but biased. I would rank Asus at the top of the heap, and MSI as not worth considering... Metla (12)
444482 2006-04-06 20:54:00 No the ASUS fans aren't loud. The A8N-SLI Premium has a heatpipe rather than a chipset fan though if you really don't want a fan. It is their most expensive board though. pctek (84)
444483 2006-04-06 21:38:00 Yeah, but the Premium is another $150 or something. I think I will go for the A8N-SLI.

Thanks people.
