This MOBO is BEST wow I can truly feel the PWR of the x16 each hehee.

One BIG thing though it is PICKY as HELL, I put my MEM at what I thought were the setttings, NO go after 20min of windows. SO I put all to AUTO on the MEM and its reading a CODE or something for the MEM well it works and it is FAST ! And it is FASTER then the A8N-SLI Prem. I love this thing also another HINT I found out that it will give you a BSOD on ALC*.* error with 3.79 Realtek drivers, So I guessed that I should be using only ASUS drivers ! Im RIGHT this MOBO needs ONLY ASUS drivers even Realtek im back too 3.6 by ASUS it seems without any probs at all, Just got done testing it with WoW for 2hrs. :)

Best part is they finally figuired out the SLI stuff, I now have BOTH GPU's reading 54c !

I LOVE this MOBO get one if ya can fnid one !

Question for you garikfox, I noticed you are running dual 7800gtx's. At boot if you dont have you boot screen turned on, does it tell you how your pci-e slots are set and if so does it show both slots are 16x.
If not is there a way to find out?. Customer of mine at work has the P5N32-SLI Dlx board, the intel version and i see it at boot as 16-1-1-1

I have the P5 version and personally I think it is a dog. Overclocking is not very good. I am not impressed and I absolutley hate AMI bios. My first PCi-e slot is kaput! I have ordered a second board to give it another shot but if it is not all that and a bag of chips, back it goes and I will be getting the new 975X Abit board. NO question about it!!

I also get the 16-1-1-1-1 even with the 2 in SLI but now my first slot is totally dead, no video out of it at all. :(

I've had my A8N32-SLI Deluxe going on two weeks now and all I can say is I love it, too. It's nice having a stable modern mobo with passive cooling, an 8 phase power design, and lots of current upgrade possibilities that should hopefully keep me in the game for a few more years to come.

Do opterons run on this? Someone on the forum was posting about their opteron and had the A8N32 listed as the mobo.

I used pricegrabber, and found Directron.com had them in stock. It's already shipped now. I don't personally know about the seller, but they have a 6 month rating of 8.64. I'm just hoping for the best.

The Intel version and the AMD version are NOT to be compared in this way. The Intel versions weakness is the nVidia chipset for Intel is not that great... at all.

in my BIOS memory configuration settings there is something called "Idle Cycle Limit" and it is set to 16 ...isn't that the same thing as "DRAM Idle Timer" from previous ASUS motherboards?...if so shouldn't that be set to the highest number possible?...in my last motherboard I had that option set to "Infinite"...the BIOS Optimization guide also recommends setting it to Infinite...only thing is that the A8N32 board "Idle Cycle Limit" setting does not have an option to set it at "Infinite"...there are only a series of numbers you can choose from...so should I set this to the highest number option?
