Hola,

Since this board is fairly new, and there is already a thread about it's counterpart - the Maximus Fomula, I thought I'd make a thread.

Mine should be arriving in the coming days, I'll post my results when the time comes.

In the meantime - anyone have any success stories with this particular board?

I have already heard from one user in another forum that the P5E is the same PCB as the Maximus Formula (He peeled off a sticker to reveil it's name).

How are the issues with Vdroop? Max FSB reached, etc.

Post your results!

The boards are not the same so why have peeps post stuff all over the place from different boards? Each board should get its own thread.

If they're the same, what differences do you expect to see? It is because they're different that is why you want to see the difference between them. For example, the boards use different bioses, which could result in different performances. I will rather compare an apple to an apple. Unfortunately, that is not what you're arguing.

Back on topic. Here's a little test run. 1.4v bios set, 1.384 real. PCIE set to 100, everything else set to auto.
