Asus P5N-D question

Anyone got one of these.

Thought it may make a good Nforce 7 SLI gaming board for my E6750 and 2 8800 GTS cards.

I`ve got the aforementioned board,should be ok with a dual core,but if you`re thinking of going quad and overclocking think again as the vdrop is bad and vdroop means I have to set the bios manually for anything over stock :mad:

There are better options as i`m sure someone can tell you.Hope this helps.
If you do push the cpu power draw,the caps start singing .It can be quite an spiritual experience if you get it right (and you`ve had a drink).

Thanks.

This board will probably stay at stock speeds by the way, it's got to be better than the 650 chipset.

Got mine today

Hardware monitor says my E6750 is running at 81C even though it's got plenty of arctic silver on it :confused:

I`d check the cooler`s seated properly and you haven`t overdone the a.s.,the temp sensors aren`t perfect but they`re not that far out.What does the bios say?

Removed cooler and re-seated it now it reads 45 C

Only problem i found is the same as the Asus 650 board, with both my 8800 GTS cards fitted all the other PCI slots are covered up.
