I been trying to find the same info, but this board is a ES and not a retail board, so the answer will be mute anyways. Notice the slightly different heat pipe design and it doesnt have the RoG logo on the southbridge. Also the colors look slightly different compared to a retail board, although i suppose that could be the camera.Quote:

Thats not a great overclock seen higher. using a engineering sample to show us the board and results aint very helpful. What good is that to 99% of us? Thats not the real world. Does that mean you got a lower fsb with a retail cpu? lolll. I already seen a bfg do 488 from dumo and striker do 512 from bingo13. Makes the P5BD still a great board. It seems paying $140 just to overclock that bit more questionable.
Anybody running overclocked pc for games wont bring you much more fps, when you have default sufficient speed its down to the graphics. 60fps is enough to run games very smooth.
475-480FSB and thats it - no more? :confused:
Someone said that it would be a great OCer :D
1.9V is the max on the retail board. Do you need it to go higher? ;)Quote:

Man... never seen any sure reply. Now I have.Quote:

Ah hellll i cant wait to get my striker! I couldnt wait for the pre order so i went and bought me a asus p5b to kill time. And ow yes i popped my brand new shiny e6600 L629B under the hood and im currently priming @ 3.2ghz 1.18vcore LOL.
This is very promising!!!! Not a bad board this P5B...its the simple version(100euro)Low budget but seems to have some juice in it :)
Now ASUS hurry up and ship me my darn STRIKER :slapass:
does anyone know if i reads negative temps ?

What's the highest FSB you can get with the E6600 running the 9x multiplier?
it's the heatpipe from the lower model called p5n32-e SLI, the little sister of the striker extremeQuote:

475 fsb?
Niceeee
anyone know when it's going to retail?
Cmon coolaler dro it to 7x and really crank that fsb!!
The mobo looks a lot better without that heatsinks :S
very dissapointing..
low fsb, wheres the 500+?
680i + kent even lower fsb, fix? when?
Hey m8, simple question does the SOUND ACTUALLY WORK on this Asus board when sli is enabled or is it totally phucked up like it is on the eVga 680i :fact: :fact: :fact:
Think you could give us a straight answer on this.
Thank you Coolaler for taking the time to test with C2D. We are very lucky to have you in the XtremeSystems community.
Nice, thanks.
im thinking of getting this board, do you think it needs a water block on the north bridge. or is the heatpipe enough?
thx coolarer for the share ;) ;)
keep up the good work m8
I am very dissapointing,lox FSB,memory bandwidth is beter with 975,and FSB is nearly same.So if RD600 is not beter with memory bandwidth,I will wait for mb wit high voltage and new revision of 975 cipset.Deam I espect more of this chip.:slapass:
Not sure why anyone would be dissapointed. This is just a first glance at the mobo. On the eVGA mobo people are having problems past the mid 400s and some have been as high as 525. People are still trying to sort through the inconsistent CPU performances. I'd like to see a few more bios releases before I decide whether I'm dissapointed. This 680i is still the only OC friendly officially supported SLI capable Intel CPU based chipset so it may be a good choice for gamers. :D And a nice jump from the last generation Nvidi 590s.
