I'm convinced there's not really a sure fire way to review a motherboard. Seems like every experience is different from person to person, I say this because I have that board and there's no problems with it that I can see.. However there are instances where other boards I've owned that have had problems, didn't surface for other people.

IMO, I say give it a shot. The board has a lot of nice features and for the price it's a pretty decent deal.

I'm in the same spot as RailGunRiz. I've had a few minor issues, but nothing that wasn't self imposed. The board itself is running cool and strable, with really no issues to speak of. The SATA issue never affected me, and I've had very very minor sound card issues that was solved by PCI Latency Config. To be honest, I blame that more on Creative's crappy cards than on the motherboard (as many boards have issues with X-Fi cards).

I have the ASUS P5N32-E SLI............great board.

I got mine from mwave though for a whole lot less than 309 dollars.
The eVGA board has been out in the greatest quantity since it was THE launch board, so obviously it will be the one complained about the most.

Mine has been error free since day one.
It boils down to SLI and a third PCI-e 8x slot. If thats what you want, then 680 is for you.
