i just seen that thread and i seen the motherboard on there.. and as some of you might know i'm looking for a new motherboard..

does anyone know if that board is any good?
would it get a Q6600 to 3.2? (3.0 at the minimum)
is it worth £40?

does anyone know of the BIOS features on the board?

links to helpful reviews would be cool also

Asus P5N32 - SLI for those that cba to look through that link for it..

My friend had that mobo and it was a great, had a good oc on a E6700. Don't remember what exactly.
This may help


ETS: It was the P5N32-E 680i chipset

I think its a bit old for overclocking quads well...

[matty-hodgson]

i think i might just give it a miss tbh.. the review i found is over 2 years old and tbh.. for an extra £20 i can get the Dark Raider and guarantee i get ample overclocking headroom over the Q6600's abilities..

I was just looking at the Dark Raider

£40 well spent, maybe cheaper...

[matty-hodgson]

i don't get it..
is he selling those parts?
he wants £40 for that board?
i'll snap his hand off for that board at £40..
or maybe try and get it cheaper

A P5n32-SLI? wow! i love that board... matty, you better move quick or else it could go far away, and not to your house... that's a FANTASTIC board, especially for the price...

have a soft spot for it, tbh

but it's over 2 years old now..
how would it fair with a Q6600 and 8800GT installed on it?

i have my doubts about its capabilities tbh..

I wouldnt buy a two year old board for a Quad core.

Thats an old nVidia chipset aswell and they are fussy at the best of times as it is.

yeah, i've just come from a nVidia chipset and tbh.. it was VERY picky about the memory timings and i couldn't OC my Q6600 upto 1333MHz FSB like the motherboard claims! :S

i think i'm just gonna try and get the iP35 Dark Raider tbh..
