ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus Motherboard Review

Without a doubt, the ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus is a solid motherboard that won’t break the budget, but it also won’t break any overclocking records. The 650i chipset is the limiting factor here. If you do plain old overclocking, I highly recommend additional cooling fans pointed at both the chipset and the fins on the heatpipe.

Aside from the overclocking issue, the board performed flawlessly at the stock and even the max OC settings I got. Updating the BIOS was also painless and done effortlessly. The high points of the ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus is the dual x16 PCI-E slots, which you gamers out there will love. The increased bandwidth will have SLI users drooling over their keyboards. A few other improvements to the Plus model is the 8 phase power design and solid state polymer capacitors around the CPU socket.

For the gamer or enthusiast, the P5N32-ESLI Plus is a superb motherboard for you. It’s strong, stable, and BioShock played with ease using the hardware I had, and I wasn’t even using the best graphics card.
