Get great performance with Asus' P5N-D motherboard. Powered by NVIDIA's nForce 750i SLI chipset, it supports Intel LGA775 Core 2 processors include Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Duo and Pentium CPUs as well as next generation 45nm Multi-Core CPUs. It features superior overclocking performance with reduced power demands and native DDR2 800 support for up to 8GB or memory with dual channel providing increased performance. 100% all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors give longer life and higher energy efficiency by supplying power to vital components independently.
The onboard NVIDIA nForce 750 SLI is the foundation for many of the gaming PC's and the SLI technology lets you combine the power of dual SLI-enabled graphic cards. The bundled Q-Connector kit makes it easy to connect the case's front I/O panel to the motherboard. Eight channels of HD sound complement the video display for a true movie-going experience.
Four 3Gb/s SATA controllers offer multiple possible RAID configurations for extra security and high-speed performance. Eight USB 2.0 connectors plus a FireWire port give you excellent flexibility in attaching peripherals.

First impressions
- Pros: I just got this board today and set it up, and everything was smooth as butter... I'm typing this review from the computer using this board. It's got all the features of the P5N-E SLi, with a few extra features, including the 750i chipset, support for 45nm dual and quads (quads aren't currently supported, will be in a BIOS update soon - probably before Intel's mainstream 45nm quad line comes out)... In addition, the chipset heatsink is larger and all copper, and it has an additional fan to attach to keep it cool (which is surprisingly silent)... Good for those with custom fans/passive/water cooling, whose northbridges would usually fry. Furthermore, it's actually got a heatsink on the southbridge (Yay). It's got an Energy Processing Unit which changes the CPU multiplier when it's not active and instantly sets it back up when it's working. Also, it has dual x16 PCI-E for SLi. The website claims it's hardware ready for it, and will likely be fully supported in a future BIOS update.
- Cons: CONTINUING WITH EXPLANATION OF PROS: Anyway, until the update for the BIOS comes out, it's x8,x8 SLi, which has no impact on performance for any card out right now - Not even the 8800Ultra. The update to support this will almost certainly be out way before the need for x16,x16 is actually necessary. Also, it has support for 7.1 audio with optical output onboard, and overall it's a huge upgrade over the P5N-E SLi (which I upgraded from actually). THE ONLY CON with this board so far is that the P5N-E SLi (650i) had 2 IDE slots, and this updated board with the 750i only has one. Beware if you have an IDE hard drive and IDE disc drive... Luckily for me, mine are both SATA.
- Other Thoughts: Seems great so far, would recommend to people who can't afford the 780i... It's basically a matured version of the 650i without any noticeable bugs for me so far. It seems to have addressed every little nitpick I had about my old P5N-E Sli after 6 months of ownership. However, for most people with a P5N-E SLi, this isn't worth the upgrade unless you plan to get a 45nm quad core - the P5N-E SLi, as well as any other 650i or 680i board will still support the 45nm dual cores with a BIOS update.
A Fantastic Deal!
- Pros: Price to spec ratio is really what is important here. You're getting a decent board with two of the current PCIe 2.0 slots.
A very thorough layout. Hard drive connects right beside the drives where they should be. Processor has space for a decently large heatsink. 24-pin connector close to the power supply so it doesn't cut over your RAM. Only issue is fitting those gigantic new graphics cards (see below).
And it all comes with a gorgeous blue box and a little case sticker. Those aren't very important but props to Asus for them anyway.
- Cons: It will be very difficult if not impossible to SLI any two of the new nVidia cards such as the 9800GTX without blocking a PCI slot. Keep that in mind.
Also, make sure to note the board's max memory bandwidth. PC2-6400 at 800MHz is as far as it goes before being overclocked. Personally, if you wanted more bandwidth than that I'd suggest looking into DDR3...
- Other Thoughts: You can build a high end system around this board if you choose. I maxed the board out with an nVidia 280GTX, Intel Quad-Core Q9550, 8GB of RAM PC2-6400, and so forth.
Although a bit off topic, if you're building from scratch be sure to keep a power supply in mind. The new nVidia graphics cards require 2x6-pin connectors so you'll need a power supply that has 4x6-pin in order to SLI. Also be thinking about a case large enough to fit all this. If it must be a mid tower I'd suggest the Antec 900.

DOA
- Pros: none
- Cons: Second board, second doa.
Also...when you want to clear cmos, you'll find the battery under the video card. What a pain that turned out to be.
What has happened to Asus
- Pros: Asus Rma department has been very helpful but it is a shame that I have had to deal with them so much.
- Cons: These boards have a lot of problems. Every thing from blue screen driver problems to unstable overclocking to intermitant failure. I made the mistake of buying two of these boards and have never been so disapointed with a board. One board has been replaced twice already by Asus and is having problems again. Even though they have been replacing the board(with other used boards I might add) The shipping and tracking and stuff is getting exspensive. I paid $300.00 for the boards to begine with and I must have close to $400.00 into them now with all the shipping. That s a lot to pay for a comple of paper weights.
- Other Thoughts: I am very disapointed in this board. I have been custom building gaming machines for over 12 years now and I have always used Asus boards. But after all this I am not sure that I would ever buy or recommend A Asus board again for myself or a customer.
Still comes on
- Pros: Still comes on.
- Cons: PCI-e x16 slots to close. Had to buy small housing video cards to keep from covering the sata ports. Had to buy new video cards after the heat took out one of my 8800GT XXX Alpha Dogs and replacement card was unavailable and already having heat issues with them. Refuses to overclock both in the bios and with OC software which came with the board. Even a 5% OC causes no video on boot. When I contacted ASUS they told me they couldnt help with OCing because of warranty issues yet they include OC features in the bios and with bundled software, and from what I see in these reveiws even have an OC support dept. Hmm. Well I found a solution. An XFX mobo just arrived today and since XFX has outstanding support Im sure I will have better luck even if I have problems. I gave this board 2 eggs for the simple fact it still comes on and works as long as I leave everything stock but in reality it is a 1 egg board. BTW I think my ASUS P4GD1 (which OCs flawlessly) and Prescott 3.0 P4 are just as fast.
- Other Thoughts: If your a gamer buy something else. You wont be able to use the high end video cards in this board unless you only have 1 SATA device to hook up and if thats the case good luck keeping the cards cool. Also just dosent seem to perform as well as expected. Have had a lot of problems with gaming from the start.
