NF7-S rev 2.0 vs. A7N8X Deluxe rev. 2.0

Nanidin · 08-18-03, 06:27 PM

Ok, my A7N8X Deluxe (from here on out the Asus) has a disfunctional lime green audio jack. Newegg will allow me to exhange it for either another A7N8X Deluxe or for the NF7-S. Please help me decide

Are there any pros/cons of the Asus vs. the Abit? I am looking to game with an OC'd 1700+(JIUHB DLT3C 0310), and will be watercooling in the near future. I have ddr400 ram so I am looking to OC around there at least, possibly higher. I DO NOT WANT TO PERFORM ANY HARDMODS TO THE BOARD.
Thanks,
Nanidin

unless you're doing super duper extreme OCing.. then the A7N8X is fine since it a few more features then the NF7-S.. but if you're gonna push it for all its got then go with the NF7-S..

personally like the layout of the A7N8X a lil better.. i hate it when mobo makers put the board plug right in the middle =d quite a hassel and quite ugly when you put it in a windowed case =d

cherryp00t, are you saying that a loss of 1 nic is a lack of functions? I'd say they're pretty much the same excepting that. Oh yeah, 2usb ports. And the yellow connector is replaced with optical. Nothing other than that that I can think of. Please, let me know what features are missing.

Well, if I can get it to 210 I'll be happy. If I want to get it further and cannot I'll goto either the NF7 or the 8RDA+. Yes, the Deluxe has SATA.
