enthusiast.hardocp.com — ASUS offers up an affordable motherboard from the new nForce 600 series family; the P5N-E SLI featuring the nForce 650i chipset. To put it plainly, this motherboard gave us awesome overclocking for the money spent while sacrificing few features the enthusiast or DIYer is concerned with.

First if it was DOA then why did you rma it to ASUS instead of just returning it to the place you bought it at?Second, Last I checked most boards don't have PCMCIA slots on them, which is probably why ASUS tech support thought you were on crack....Oh and your cpu fan didn't come with the board, so why is it ASUS's fault that your cheap off brand fan died?picnic bitch...

That is a good mobo and a great chipset that should be very stable for you. No buyers remorse there.

You can look at this thread for the mobo's that are really showing off when it comes to overclocking the Core 2 Duo. <a class="user" href="http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1138241">http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1138241</a>Lots of good information in that thread from the HardForum community.

not good enough , SLI MODE only 8x and 8x instead of full 16x and 16x . i mean another video card down the road is essential now a days.
