This Asus is Wild! Another excellent solution from the A7N8X series is here. The A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard improves on the popular A7N8X Deluxe by adding Gigabit LAN and the exclusive ASUS Wi-Fi slot for easy wireless LAN setup. Of course, innovative features such as AGPPro/8x, Dolby® digital 6-channel audio, onboard IEEE 1394, Serial ATA, dual-channel DDR 400 and a dual LAN design are still included in this latest board.
The Wi-Fi slot is specifically designed for the ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card to
set up an environment for home wireless LAN. The ASUS WiFi-b™ add-on card bundles
the exclusive Software AP (access point) to save the extra cost of an actual
AP. In addition, the card comes with user-friendly utilities and applications
that allow quick connection to notebooks, PDAs and other WLAN peripherals. The
WiFi slot supports the 802.11g standard for future upgrades.(Note: The WiFi-b™
card with software AP has to be purchased separately)

EXCELLENT motherboard! I have had it for 2+ years now, and it has never failed me. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that upon transferring it along with the CPU, CPU fan, and RAM to a different system, the onboard audio codec went awry and caused my computer to reboot instead of shutting down. What caused this problem must have been a driver conflict or something, because it was not a problem on my old system, but...yeah. I looked it up and according to a random forum person, there's an incompatibility issue between the audio codec and the motherboard (LOL). After rolling back the problem driver, it has since been working like a dream yet again. I would definitely recommend this motherboard to ANYONE -- it was my first build-it-yourself project and I had no idea what I was doing, but it survived!

Really happy with this MOBO it's fast and easy to overclock. I had a bit of trouble getting my system to run after I installed the MOBO. I called Asus tech support line and they helped me tremendously. I give the Asus A7N8X MOBO and the Asus tech support line both an A+. I would recommend this board to anyone looking for good performance at a reasonable price.

Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
