Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe and either DeckLink HD Extreme or DeckLink HD
I am looking into using either DeckLink HD Extreme or DeckLink HD
with my M2N32-SLI Deluxe. The MB setup is as follows:CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
RAM: Corsair DDR2 PC6400 (4GB in two 2GB interleave banks)
Chipset: nVidia C51XE rev. A2
Southbridge: nVidia nForce 590 MCP rev. A2
Graphics: GeForce 7900 GT PCIe x16 – 256MBFrom the MB manual the slot types are:
2 x PCIe x16 slots with NVIDIA SLI support at full x16, x16 speed
1 x PCIe x4 slot(supports PCIe x4 or x1 card)
1 x PCIe x1 slot
2 x PCI 2.2 slotsWhen I asked Blackmagic directly, this is the response I received.
“I would *NOT* use this motherboard. The only PCIe slots are SLI slots.
That means they have special signals to run SLI graphics cards and are
not normal PCIe slots that will work with cards like ours. Look for a
motherboard that has at least one x4 non-sli PCIe slot.”But, the manual only indicates SLI support for the x16 slots. So, this
should be OK, right? -

Hi
we have an a8n32 sli deluxe. It was a real nightmare to get it up and running. But we eventually did and it is running very stable in premiere(never crashed in 4 months). I was ready to try another motherboard when we first had problems but it finally worked great. We had to diable this function on it called blackmagic desktop.I would be very scared to fork out a heap of cash on a board that wasnt certified. but if you do want to try it, and it doesn’t work you woulds be able to pick up an a8n32 and swap everything over. the a8n32 should be under $200 by now. Oh we have a multibridge extreme so it might be a different story but they are both pcie.
good luck!
