Asus P5N32-SLI Premium - Page 4

Well, there's one nail in this mobo's coffin. A stake actually. I don't think there's any way in the Bios to change the CPU Multiplier. I simply cannot find one. So for the true, hard core I'm-gonna-squeeze-every-Mhz kinda person, I can't recommend this mobo at this time.

If, however, you are a dedicated Nvidia SLI person like I am, and don't mind only being able to overclock your CPU by 850Mhz on air instead of the 1200 the Intel fanboi's are getting, then this is a solid choice.

From what I understand, unless you get the XE chip, Intel still locks its CPU multipliers. So, I don't think it's the mobo. I'm guessing that if you got an XE chip and stuck it in you would be able to change the multi.

Hmm... I'm looking at this board as a contenter for my Ultimate PC build after reading this thread. Keep up the great work.
