ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus Motherboard Review @ Virtual-Hideout

MicroATX has always amazed me in that originally mfgs built them for small industrial systems with the idea that a smaller motherboard would mean less cost. Well now that enthusiasts have started to build smaller and more powerful systems it becomes a challenge to find suitable motherboards. This board seems like just the ticket, SLI and small.
ASUS has been one of the leading manufacturers of motherboards for a number of years, and is the preferred board of the VH staff. The motherboard under the scope this time around is the P5N32-E SLI Plus, which uses the 650i chipset - a lesser version of the 680i which means a lower retail price. Although this is a newer motherboard using a less powerful chipset, they did make some changes to it and got dual x16 PCI-E SLI support. Another cool feature is the Stack Cool design which helps pull heat away from the components around the CPU. Another heat reducing feature are the heatpipes that cover each of the chipset chips separately. With so many features let's get on with the review and see how things work out.
