can some one tell me if this board is any good?Asus P5N32-E SLI PLUS C55
the P5N32-E SLI Plus, is the reason the regular P5N32-E SLI was discontinued.
apparantly, its a improved version of this board.
thats all I heard so far.
havent seen a pic, or even have a clue how the + version is better then this version, but thats why its no longer on the Asus website, it was discontinued and being updated.
Where did you see that a P5N32-E SLI Plus is being released? Disregard, I'll google me ownself. :)

So if the P5N32-E SLI is discontinued.. what about the people who currently have one? ASUS hasnt released a proper unbuggy bios for the P5N32-SLI yet.. other 680i boards seem to be getting bios updates.. (eVGA, Striker)
And has anyone tried to flash the P5N32-E SLI PLUS bios onto the P5N32-SLI?
do u think this board would be a good overclocker?Quote:

AsusP5N-E SLI NF650i SLI was getting 500MHz FSb speeds. The only real issue I have with it is the 4 phase voltage which leads to huge voltage droops. But, for $150 and a great overclocker it is the way to go on a budget. Pair it with the upcoming 4300 and you'll have a 3.6GHz C2D setup for under $300.
SAD, ASUS really went down with Buggy BIOS for C2D boards!!
What about all of us now??
Need a Good BIOS atleast.
bios 0702 is out for P5N32-E SLI... =)
It still has Vcore issues =)
But it seems stable so far? =S
so who's getting a hold of one of these plus things?...sounds hopefulQuote:

Kunaak,
one more thing - it's not just an "upgrade"... take a closer look near sata sockets - old caps removed and new added on NEW place.Quote:
the Plus version has some upgraded caps so I can see...
Pics: http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/...spx?i=2905&p=3
no electrolytic caps on PLUS version, only tantalum and conductive polymer.
So, I think if we will have more detail pics - we will be able to find more new electric stuff on this board.
Also - there are no Asus Striker hidden labels...
and the last thing: it's not C55XE (marked as C55-SLIX16N-A2 or NF680I-SLI-N-A2) as on non-Plus version. It's C55 which marked as C55-SLIX8N-A2.

So, C55XE only on Striker and P5N32-E non-PLUS.
guys... I bought P5N32-E SLI for 269$ from mwave.com... now PLUS version with downgrade chipset for 309$? is it joke? :slapass:
here you go mate!Quote:
