ASUS A8N-E Opinions Please

[GSV Three Minds in a Can]

Asus will replace it with an improved version if you call their support
line.

True, but why are they so slow to learn? The NB fan on my A7V133a was
cr&p, and that was 5 years ago. And they knew about it, and had to
replace a bunch of them. So why, when they produce a new board, do they
still select the cheapest, lousiest NB fan they can find??

Mark,

I want to put an xp-120 on an a8n-e.
The graphcard will be a passively cooled gigabyte 6600gt, which has
also a heatsink on its back.
Therefore, there might be interference of that heatsink with the
xp-120.

Can you plse tell me how much space is left between the xp-120 and the
pcb of your (normal) graphcard (leadtek) ???
Thanks.

Rgds,
Phil Brackel
