I thought that was what was happening, because when I took a closer look at the PCI-e slots, I noticed how they MAY be a tad off from each other, but it's really just the different colour that throws it off to make you think it's not x16. At least, apparently, the factory BIOS is making it run in x8 mode. just listen to people when they say "when you buy a new mobo, remember to always look to see if the BIOS needs an update"
i had a choice of getting the asus but your right many people have complained about the board. just google p5n-D vs P7N plat. the plat. will in fact last longer as it uses high quality solid state caps. im more than happy with mine, but lyk i said its not worth picking the p5n-D just because it runs sli at x16/x16, if your card saturates full 16 bus speed then your better of getting a 780i board.
Does this board support ddr3 ram? ive got no idea, if it isnt could someone recomend a mobo that supports ddr3. Also is the asus p5n-e sli ddr3? i dont think so but does someone know for sure?
i have no idea, read up on the specs, its 3 x16 2.0 slots but runs at x16/x8 when i run sli. Its barely a difference with my 8800gt sli. on the otherhand if i was using a more high end card which fully saturates the x16 then i would consider the 780i boards. Ive got my q6600 overclocked to 3.6ghz easy. couldnt be any happier.
does anybody know how to overclock the Q6600 exceeding the 3GHz point?
