Will a A8N5X FIT IN A Xaser II

[Dusnoetos]

I was just given an older Thermaltake Xaser II case. But before I pull my ASUS A8N5X socket 939 motherboard out of my smaler case. I would like to know ifi it will fit.
Or do I need to modify.

any advise would be great.

It will fit perfectly. Standard ATX mobo in a large, ATX-friendly case.

Thanks for your reply
I also got a surprisingly quick (less than 1hour) reply from Thermaltake...

I see that you are running an Opteron on a A8N-SLI, Where did you get the BIOS patch?

 

[Wayward_Son]

I didn't. Never needed one. When I upgraded from my single-core 3700+ I just dropped in the Opty and turned it on. The motherboard and WinXP recognized everything and it was done. BIOS revision is 1014 I believe, which came on the board. Never felt the need to re-flash it to anything newer as this revision has everything I really need.

??? Cool, I was under the impression that that the ASUS A8N5X (what I have) and the
A8N-SLI required a BIOS up grade to run an Opteron.
Shows how much I know......

I have a 3800X2 running in my A8N SLI with no issues.


Dont worry that you didnt know it, at least you asked instead of just assuming that it HAD to have the update and arguing when others said it didnt.

BTW WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!​
