ASUS P5N-D Motherboard Review

Wed 2008-07-02 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

X-bit Labs has posted a review of the ASUS P5N-D motherboard, which is based on the Nvidia nForce 750i SLI chipset.

Here’s what they had to say:

“So, our tests showed that ASUS P5N-D’s slogan "The best platform combining powerful performance with great energy efficiency" is simply not true. The board boasts average performance, has slightly higher power consumption in nominal mode than other boards on the same chipset, noticeably higher power consumption in overclocked mode than the same boards and much higher power consumption than Intel P35 Express based boards. Moreover, it is unstable during overclocking just like other Nvidia nForce 750i SLI based mainboards.”

The P5N-D is a good choice for those on a budget who need a SLI capable motherboard. However, for those who aren’t going to be utilizing the SLI feature, it is quite hard to recommend any nForce 750i model, especially considering how good the new crop of Intel P45-based motherboards are proving to be.
