Chipset
The P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe motherboard is based on the NVIDIA nForce4 SLI x16 Northbridge chipset . It supports Intel Core 2 Duo. Core 2 Extreme, Pentium Extreme Edition, Pentium D, Pentium 4 and Celeron D Processors, with Hyper-Threading Technology and 533/800/1066MHz Front Side Bus support.

tikicult said:Oh, so you have already used one and came to this conclusion on your own? Or are you just making up crap since no one really knows the o/c abilities of the new 500 series with Core 2??
From Anandtech
"We anxiously await the production release of the nForce 500 Intel Edition chipsets in a few weeks that will mainly bring benefits to the MCP such as additional SATA ports, improved networking features, HD Audio, and some general refinement. Users need to realize that the nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition will still use the C19 SPP that is on this board. Although the chipset is now at a revision C1 and has undergone several months of fine tuning, do not expect the performance or overclocking results to be improved greatly with the nForce 590 SLI boards. In our internal testing we have noticed some minor but measurable improvements, but nothing revolutionary."
tikicult said:Thanks for posting that link. I had not seen that article before. I too tire of the rampant !!!!!ism that some people have around here. So when I see someone bash a product that isn't out yet, I immediately attribute it to !!!!!. My appologies!

Stu55 said:What is/going to be a good oc'ing board for core 2's?
Mark, a bright new star in the abit engineering department, says: "I really like abit's µ Guru overclocking features on this board and playing with the engineering samples I've managed to OC to 470 FSB using a 6800XE Core™ 2 Duo. The BIOS has plenty of options for adjusting FSB, tweaking voltages and controlling stability. It's truly an amazing overclocking motherboard ... I love it!"
Phosphoros said:Well, people are claiming that the new ATi chipset will be all that and a bag of chips. Again though, no one has tested or used the new ATi chipset as far as I know so who knows?
The 975 and 965 seem the best bet at the moment. Both asus and gigabyte have decent offereings. I think as the BIOS's get fleshed out more and more we'll see some good stuff.
Abit, believe it or not has the Aw9d-Max and Aw9d coming out and supposedly it's gonna be uber-OCer. Abit's website had the announcement and some abit tech had a comment about the uGuru OCer.
Take that for what it's worth.
Hope that's a little help.
I wouldn't buy that, especially since Intel just gave ATI the middle finger and nVidia is likely to do the same to AMD.Stu55 said:Yeah, I was looking into abit's aw9d-max, but ati is making chipset's for intel cpu's? Isn't that a little strange?

Well actually that incorrect also according to this acticle at Anandtech dated 22 Aug 06

The NVIDIA nForce 590SLI caters to the high end gamer and enthusiast while the nForce 570SLI is targeting the value performance sector for users interested in SLI capability. The 590SLI utilizes the C51XE SPP with the 570SLI utilizing the C19A SPP. The 590SLI uses the new MCP55 from the AM2 nForce 500 product lines and the 570SLI is utilizing the current MCP51. The major difference in the two products is the availability of dual X16 PCI Express lanes on the 590SLI compared to dual X8 PCI Express lanes on the 570SLI for SLI operation. The other differences reside primarily in the MCP with the 590SLI offering DualNet networking technology, two additional USB ports, and two additional SATA 3Gb/s ports at the expense of an IDE port.![]()
Can't say I blame them, I'd drop ATI like a hot cake if this happened...vanilla_guerilla said:ati has announced that it has cancelled the follow on chipset, the rd/rs700 for intel. some manufacturers have already bailed, or are "reassessing" on the intel rd/rs600 boards. dont be waiting for one of these. i dont know how the legend that "they will be awesome overclockers" started anyway.
This is old news , it has been around for about two weeks now.dandapice said:Heads Up!
Just went over to the Asus website and saw the photo(s) of the new SLI 590 for Intel !
Here's the link:

Only problem is it's NOT the North American website![]()

Man you are right there but tell you the truth over clocking is only half of what something can offer.revenant said:I dunno.. with the poor OCing numbers coming in from the 590/570 chipsets.. I am thinking about going cross-fire maybe... I don't want to have to dump this E6600 and buy a 6800 with a better multi for a grand just to get a decent OC.. I hope with new bioses the fsb issues might get better.. so far it seems like 350 is about as high as they will go.. has anyone seen higher numbers from any of the 590 test runs?
inooh said:Man you are right there but tell you the truth over clocking is only half of what something can offer.
I have seen that after over clocking a certain amount there is very little gain.
The features of the board are brill and will take out the bottlenecks of the CPU and your GPU will be able to show its potential.
I want this board because i have a 7950 and I want long support for it. Overclocking is a bonus but things like Dual net outways the loss and the support for quad.
Would like to try the physics and quad and this boarrd makes it possible.
