ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I built my computer four years ago and this motherboard has been a tireless workhorse. It was easy to install and hasn't given me any problems since then. I did not attempt to overclock other than the usual sanding and silver.

Cons: None.

Pros: Fairly good overclocking options, 2-way SLI, compatible with all LGA775 CPUs.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Since I bought this, it has been used with 3 CPUs throughout that time. I have always overclocked them, and right now, I have a Q6600 in it, overclocked to 3.2ghz with 1600mhz FSB @ 1.34v air cooled. Very stable. I have never used SLI on this board, but it is supposed to run both PCI-E slots at x16. Pretty nice options for a mid-range motherboard. I really wish this was a UEFI board...

Pros: did everything but through it in the bathtub for a cleaning and its held up perfectly since very early 2010.

Cons: WinXP 64-bit (not happening); but so what use vista 64 or win7 64bit ultimate 10 times better

Other Thoughts: get 8gb ram and win7 x64 architecture a good GPU that you can tranfer later and a good heatsink that you can transfer later. Besides the ram which you don't have to spend more than $100 for 8gb, buy some "Adata" it's excellent, and a gtx560 at least ; a hyper 212 plus heatsink; everything can transfer to a newer system less the ram.

Pros: Everything, I've overclocked this thing up to 3.6GHZ for a year without one BSOD, and the stock heatsink! I purchased and installed it around December of 2009, it is now Jan of 2013. I've re-formatted, done numerous system's this that and the other thing. I just put 8GB of Adata in it to replace my initial 4GB of hyper-x, Win7 x64 Ultimate, I have a hyper 212 plus heatsink coming in which will just fit, and an ASUS GTX 560. This board could die tomorrow and I would be happy, trust me THIS IS A COMPLETELY NON BIAS REVIEW from a customer!

Cons: WinXP 64bit does not work with this mobo, but so what slap Win7 64bit and 8Gb of ram, a nice graphics card and enjoy the show. I think I remember the heatsink practically broke the board when installing so I will have to be careful with the new one.

Other Thoughts: I know that this is discontinued now but I feel I owe it to Asus to say thank you, apparently I got a well build board, and this graphics card is beautiful as well, people need to stop complaining, asus is one of the best.

Pros: Used for over 4 years with no problems. Great motherboard.

Cons: None.

Pros: Price

Cons: Initially ran Win 64. After a few months, I had issues with BSODs—rare, just enough to be annoying. Installed the latest updates, still nothing. I then tried XP Home (had an extra copy)--wow, really bad. I had to try two different USB keyboards to find one XP Installer would recognize. After the installation, it either wouldn’t recognize my USB thumb drive (tried several) or it instantly BSOD’d. I updated everything, but still bad. I gave up and installed Linux Mint 12—no problems. The graphics are a little buggy, but not sure if it’s the board or my NVIDIA FX1700 card. I removed the Mint recommended driver and it works better, but still get random flickers.

Pros: Stable and reliable. Low power use. (120W Idle 200W Load, 300W Playing Crysis on max.)
Even with a very "behind-the-days" CPU, this was the best setup ever. Even as a side server setup, I will recommend this board for an simple NAS, Game box, File server, Webserver. For being 5 years old, this board Still kicks face. THIS BOARD WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.

Cons: North Bridge gets ridiculously hot.
Few USB Ports.

Other Thoughts: I bought this board in May of 2010, getting off 939 Athlon x2 4200+ WOW What an upgrade. I even bought and used a GTX560 and this board still kicked face, with only 4GBs DDR800 and a Q9505. I am sad the board had died today, I feel like I lost my pet dog here.

Pros: No problems whatsoever

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Had this for almost a year now. I bricked my p5n-e SLI mobo when upgrading the BIOS. :/ Purchased this since I didn't have the budget to upgrade everything. Used my core2duo e6600, 4GB ddr2 800, two 8800gts in SLI (PCI-e slots are close together, but GPU temps remain in a normal range). Works perfect!
Never had a single problem with any ASUS mobo, EVER!
Newegg processes and ships FAST!

Pros: runs amazingly smooth and because it can support more than 1 core and graphics card, im set for a very long time with it! Very nice and was very easy to put in and connect everything.

Cons: No cons what so ever with this product, it has been tossed around due to transporting it from my moms to my dads and back to my moms, and still works perfect!

Other Thoughts: the people who are complaining about this excellent motherboard is probably due to their system refusing to work with it. It depends on what youre trying to make it work with like your processor(or cores if you prefer). Just because you meet most of the specs, doesnt mean it will work 100%. So dont complain all ways go over your PC specs BEFORE you buy a motherboard,RAM,core or graphics card.

Pros: Some decent features such as SLI.

Cons: Did not last. Both motherboars I purchased failed at about the 2 year mark.

ASUS REFUSED TO HONOR WARRANTY. When I contacted ASUS and gave them the serial numbers for my boards they said it was out of warranty so I provided my invoices to show that they were still under warranty.

After two weeks no response either through email or by phone and after calling them myself multiple times during the two week period they finally told me my proof of purchase was invalid. Didn't explain why just said it was invalid.

I provided a paypal invoice which is a valid proof of purchase so there shouldn't have been any problems.

After I inquired about the issue with their Tech support who didn't know anything about the issue, he then transfered me to someone who did, but after waiting for over 30 minutes for someone to respond it became obvious no one was going to pickup the phone so I hung up.

Other Thoughts: I have built countless computers so I have done business with many different manufacturers and I have never been treated this way by any other company. Asus is the worst company when it comes to warranties.

THEY WILL DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER NOT TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY.

I have been an Asus customer for over 10 years and I have rarely had to call upon their warranty and on the one occasion that I do this is how they treat their customers.

I have always recommend Asus in the past, but NEVER AGAIN after this experience I will not recommend them to anyone and I would advise other buyers to stay away from Asus products as well.

My motherboards were only two years into the 3 year warranty and they wouldn't honor it so if you buy asus products and run into problems good luck getting Asus to back up their warranty.

There are much better manufacturers out there that do not hassle their customers when they need to call upon the warranty.
