| ASUS Launches AI Lifestyle P5N32-E SLI Mobo |
| Author: Alessandra Carneiro |
Date: November 14, 2006 - 3:06 PM PST |

| More Info: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=397&model=... |
ASUS introduced the AI Lifestyle P5N32-E SLI motherboard offering a third PCI Express x16 for physics card support. It is based on the nForce 680i SLI chipset, which supports the Intel Quad-Core Processor and NVIDIA's Quad-SLI technology, and is ready for the up-coming 1,333 MHz FSB specification.
The 8-Phase Power Design generate less heat than other conventional power solutions. It reduces input ripple current and output ripple voltage, which keeps CPU and VRM (voltage regulation modules) from suffering the risk of high power stress.
P5N32-E SLI also features a fanless system which brings noiseless cooling. The heat-pipe directs heat generated by the chipsets to the heatsink near the back I/O ports, where it can be carried away by existing airflow, while Stack Cool 2 effectively transfers heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the PCB (printed circuit board) for fast heat dissipation, the press releases says.
Check the specifications below:
- VGA model: Quad-SLI
- Dual VGA model: SLI X16 +X16
- CPU: Intel Quad-core CPU
- Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI
- Memory: Dual-channel DDR2 800
- Front Side Bus: 1333/1066/800/533 MHz
- Audio: SupremeFX/DTS connect
