Has anyone used this board before? Overall, this seems to be a great board. The layout seems to be the best out of any. Some people complain mostly due to the ATX plug placement, but with a long connector, I think it should be fine. The chipset cooler is well out of the way of the PCIe 16x slot. And I love how all the USB and firewire connections are together on the bottom. Some people complained it didn't have a firewire port on the IO plate, but I'm quite happy like this. I might just connect the one on the front and I still have an extra port for the back if I so desire...
Specs, I read good stuff. It seems to be at par with other nForce4 mobos with all the features you'd want. I didn't read any major problems. One site had problems OCing it, but I don't plan to so they said it was rock solid at stock speeds. I also found people who used my cooler and my RAM in it...BIG plus to know those work
Visually it's not appealing, but I honestly don't care. I want stability and performace over colors any day!
So in short...what do you think? My AN8 seems to have a slight chipset problem. It's still under warrenty if anyone would want to purchase it for cheaper and replace it though Abit or try to use it... I personally just thought an upgrade would do best, as with the 7800, I had some issues with the USB header placement...
