Do NOT buy P5N32-E SLi PLUS

[DataMatrix]

God this motherboard sucks big time, here are my reasons why:

1: You cannot overclock the CPU very far; I managed a stable 3.15GHz max, any higher and BSOD was a certain.
2: You cannot use 4GB of ram; I bought an extra 2GB last night (same brand, speed, etc) tried putting it in and BSOD was a certain. I read that people have stabilised theirs by raising their voltage on their NB to 1.45v-1.55v, I tried this and it was slightly stable with programs like Explorer crashing, but eventually it wouldn't boot again (NB was EXREMELY hot to the touch).
3: SLi sucks anyway; Unless it offers better performance with memory sharing between the GPUs then it sucks.
4: Slow boot; This motherboard has to be the slowest booter I have ever had.
5: Cut-down STRIKER EXTREME; Peel off the P5N32-E SLi PLUS sticker to reveal STRIKER EXTREME text
6: You cannot overclock the RAM; Overclocking the ram (timings/clock speed/etc) causes unstable performance with spiking of data, increasing voltages has virtually no effect.
7: RAID performance sucks; Go for Intel RAID or something, at least you'll get better performance.

DO NOT BUY nForce 6 series motherboards! I'm guessing that this is not the only motherboard with crap like this...

Reason 2 is the last straw I had with this motherboard... Sod it, I'm getting a P5K Deluxe.

We all warned you

I know, I thought I wouldn't have the problems, I thought they would have been ironed out, I was wrong and stupid for ignoring you guys.

I got the 4GB running stable but I have the RAM downclocked to 700MHz which is crappy, can't wait for the P5K.

shame you wen't with that board..its rubbish in most of the reviews i've read.

My evga clocks really well as does my friends evga and abit 680i's..just bought the wrong one!

Yup im with mike on this one If you go 680i get the proper 680's and not the cheaper asus offerings (that excludes the striker obviously as it the most expensive).
