    Why is P5E3 Premium not for sale anymore?

    It runs 24/7 and I chose not to overclock it much for now. My Q6600 is running at 3.0 Ghz. I didn't install any floppy drive, but I had good experiences with connecting 3 old IDE discs just to copy my old backups to the 2 new SATA discs. I'm using a ASUS Silent Square EVO with my Q6600 and...

    Why is P5E3 Premium not for sale anymore?

    Making the same search I made before I get to the board, but it wasn't there when I created this thread. You can doubt about it, but it wasn't on the website a couple of days ago. I'm a lot more relaxed now. Thanks. My system specs are on my signature. I'm running a Corsair HX-620.

    Why is P5E3 Premium not for sale anymore?

    Yes, I'm satisfied with my new rig. The only problem I had was solved by a BIOS update. But now I'm worried about this move by ASUS... If you look at the specs of the board and to all those reviews, you must wonder why they retired the board so early. I'm getting paranoid to find it's flaw.

    Why is P5E3 Premium not for sale anymore?

    I have one ASUS P5E3 X48 Premium Wifi AP@n Edition motherboard and I recently noticed that it isn't for sale any more. Does anyone knows why? Thanks After so much praise, it surprised (and worried) me.

    System Shuts Down after BIOS changes

    Hi Harvey, thanks for your answer. 1. I've read that people having the very same issue with this motherboard had to clear the CMOS to get the system back on with all the periphericals responding well. Unfortunately, the jumper is no more than a recovery solution. It doesn't help solving the...

    System Shuts Down after BIOS changes

    I've bought this brand new P5E3 Premium Wifi-AP@n board, Gigabyte 9800GTX, two 1GB DDR3 1333 Corsair units, Q6600 G0, two (not RAID) WD 500GB AAKS SE disk drives, and Corsair HX620w PSU. I was excited by the great possibilities of my new system and especially encouraged by the incredible...
