Asus A8N-SLI Premium + Hauppauge PVR150
|
Can someone confirm whether this hardware combination is okay or not to use? A previous post mention issues with Asus A8N series board so I'm not quite sure.

I have one set up as the GBPVR server with 2gb DDR400, AMD 4200 X2 and 3 Hauppuage TV cards, A 150,350 and a 500. It works find for me if the MB is mounted so the North brigde is lower than the CPU. I had it in a li-lan case and the heat pipes could not cool the N bridge down.(160°F). I put it in a normal case and I have not had any problems. I like the MB because of the raid choices. I currently have the sil controller running raid 5 with 4 x 320 GB drives. I have 6 more drives (250gb)set up as 2 striped raids for back up and TV shows. I reboot it every 3 to 4 days and have left it on for 2 weeks straight without touching it. The machine has been running in this configuration for the past year. Just install the hauppauge drivers as instructed and I think you will have no problem. I am able to play/ record 4 TV channels while serving videos to 4 computers and 2 MVPs without studdering. I also looking at a hauppauge 1800 (PCI-1x) to add another 2 tuners and Digital TV to the system.
