    Hi all.
    A few weeks ago my A8N-Sli motherboard packed up so I sent it back to ebuyer for a replacement. As they no longer stock that board, they have given me a refund (£80). I'm not too sure what I should get in it's place.
    I can afford either the A8N-SLI Premium board or the A8N-SLI SE (which is cheaper). Is the first board really worth the extra £20? I could put that money toward some peripherals if not.

    Thoughts?

    The Premium is worth the extra. Either that or go for the DFI Ultra which clocks really well if you're into the darker arts.

    Heh, the dark arts tend to exact a terrible price :)
    Leaning toward premium mostly coz it sounds better ;P

    The premium seems to have more fixes implemented than the SE which is why it was my choice. I'm just waiting for my Corsair 4000pt ram to arrive :dremel:

    i got the deluxe and its really good and the only real difference is that the premium has heatpipes to cool the nv chip and auto switchs between 8 + 8 and 16 + 1 pci e
