EDIT:
P5N-E SLI tips, tricks, recommendations, and basic OC guide (Pg. 92 of this thread)
Special thanks to Core2, Adder1971, et al for the help you guys have given everyone
Hardware Recommendation for P5N-E:
Processor, maximum OC: E4xx series or E6300/E6400
Processor, best stock performance with mild OC: E6600 or greater
Memory: Any Micron D9xxx memory (a good list can be found HERE or HERE)
Graphics: Any Nvidia 7x00 or better; while ATI/AMD boards will work, probably better to pair with an Nvidia
CPU Coolers (verified to fit): Zalman CNPS9700LED, Arctic Cooling 7 Freezer Pro (with modification), more to be added
Southbridge chipset coolers: Any low profile passive heatsink for the southbridge (larger ones may need to be bent/modified to fit larger video cards, e.g. 8800GTX)
Northbridge chipset coolers: Same as above, or stock, but may need active cooling (fan) at higher OCs
For those who were eagerly awaiting it...
