Of the choices you have listed, I would go with the Aero 7.

Why not just order it? Price will come out around the same and you will get a better HSF out of it...

LOL so i email MWAVE to day inquiring about there A7N8X deluxe boards and they tell me that they cant give out what REV. or what bios comes with the board.
I have bought alot of stuff from them and was kinda ****ed at the reply but i guess ill be going else where now!

Just need to get me a A7N8X rev 2.0 with decent Bios + decent HS and Fan and go from there!

This damn A7"V"8x just aint cutting it!



thanks guys so where do you all shop? Keep in mind i want to but both from 1 shop !

just don't get the TT Volcano 11+. I bought one and I regret it deeply. The Smartfan 2 on it is pretty good, but the heatsink is pretty useless other than to look good.

Using the same fan, it does not cool as well as the stock AMD heatsink! Probably due to the glued rather than soldered fins.

I'd agree with getting the Aero 7.
