ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe

Zitat

This model certainly deserves attention of active users. It offers exhaustive functionality and a solid safety margin (especially in regulating voltage). ASUS already employed passive chipset cooling with heat pipes. And now it develops in the right direction. Unlike ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe, it's a full-fledged solution. We can cavil at the padding used as a thermal interface - not the most efficient thing. It's only slightly pressed to the extreme field-effect transistors, for example. But on the other hand, using liquid thermal compound with so many contact points (two chips of the core logic and 16 transistors) is out of the question from the point of view of streamlining production.

One nice observation that is not directly connected with this model (it has to do with Socket AM2) — even the first revisions of the integrated DDR2 controller demonstrate better compatibility and load-carrying capacity versus the early (and even late) implementations of the DDR controller for Socket 939. In particular, if you by mistake install two modules on the same channel without filling the second one, it will not have negative effects. A computer will start up (with slightly "softer" timings) and pass the tests, while such "overload" used to be out of the question - you could read it in manuals or try it on your own.
