Will high density ram work on an ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard?

Here is the manual for your motherboard (since describing a diagram probably isn't very useful...)
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket939/A8N-SLI/e2024_a8n-sli.pdf

You want to look at pages 27-35, they describe what you need to plug into the motherboard. Basically make sure you have connected:

1) 24-pin power cable (from power supply)
2) 4-pin power cable (for CPU from power supply)
3) Any case fans with 3/4 pin connectors.
3) hard drives (SATA or IDE)
4) USB front panel ports
5) Audio front panel ports
6) Case plugs (power LED, hdd LED, power switch, and reset switch).

So whats the problem?

Hi!

Nop, it takes only AMD

The infosite about that MB is still up, you will find it here:
http://uk.asus.com/search.aspx?searchitem=1&searchkey=A8N-SLI

There you will find all the info you want. BTW, its not only the MB's size if the nvidia card fits or not, its the size of the case to.

Good luck

imondeau, do you still have you're manual for the ASUS A8N-SLI Premium? Please turn to page 2-12 & 2-13.
Need the manual? Click the link below & download it.

The QVL; Qualified Venders List, shows all the tested memory for this board. Edge memory is not supported. This is why the Edge memory only runs by it's self. Once you add the corsair memory they clash because they are not compatible working together in this Asus board. Both sets of memory could work in another board. (Maybe)! What is also needed is if the corsair & edge DIMMs are SS = Single sided or DS = Double sided. How many chips on the corsair? How many chips on the Edge?
They must have the same total chips each each DIMM.

Edge does not sell memory compatible for the
Asus A8N-SLI Premium.

Your memory should be in slots A-1 & B-1
You Asus board uses the Award bios. The link posted below will tell you what your beeps are saying.

In your case do as I suggested above. I have two working
A8N-SLI Deluxe boards & the memory works fine in A-1 & B-1 slots.

Good luck & best wishes!
please vote.............................

Usally blue screen errors are from ram. Do you have the right ram for that board?. Is the ram set to the right speed in bios?.

You cannot use DDR2 since your mother will only support DDR1 which is DDR400 compatible only.


Please don't rate me Inappropriate if you don't like my solution or rate me SOLVED if you accept the reality. Thanks
