A quick take at the specifications versus those of the Deluxe version of the A8N SLI, show a few major differences to an otherwise very similar configuration. First, Asus' new "AI Cool Pipe" technology has been incorporated into the design, offering completely silent operation, at least at the motherboard level. More details to follow on this. Second, Asus has refined their dual PCI Express SLI Graphics approach with a jumperless and software/BIOS configurable solution that no longer requires you to pull out and flip around a PCI Express configuration PCB in between the slots. Again we'll take a closer look at the technology behind this in the pages ahead.
