Legion Hardware on Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe

Legion Hardware has a look at the A8N32 SLI Deluxe tonight as well. Our take can be found here, with recent updates.

The A8N-SLI Deluxe is now worth just $170 US, so what has ASUS done to justify the A8N32-SLI Deluxe price premium? Well they have actually done quite a bit, as the board now includes an 8-phase power design and a seriously impressive cooling setup. Heat has become a huge concern for all high-end motherboards and none really address the issue correctly.

And indeed heat needs to be managed better with this board as well, with its additional 16 PCI Express SerDes IO driving even more power in this new nForce 4 SLI X16 two-chip solution.
