I've got the A8N-SLI Deluxe. Mine never sleeps, either. I've never  
been all that happy with the board. I've got two of them, actually.  
The SLI port died on one and the northbridge chipset fan died on the  
other. There's no way to control the second case fan speed so it's  
always at full blast.
