The A8n32 board should only be used if you are absolutely sure what you are doing. With all the bios variables and the adjustments you need to make you should know your way around a bios pretty well. That being said, 8 phase cooling and x16 sli are nice but you arent going to see performance from the sli with current generation games. That definitely didnt stop me from buying one though, so if you can find it and afford it, pick one up. Otherwise get the A8N-SLI Premium. The Premium board has heatpipe cooling for the northbridge as opposed to a fan and it has extra sata raid controller (SIL) i believe. Get the Premium if you dont get the A8N32
