Hi Guys

As you might know from my previous post, I have an ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium that will be going back to Novatech for repair very shortly.
However, this question is CPU/Mobo related because I need to know if my new Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66ghz will work with that Asus board?

Thanks

Rich

I'm afraid that motherboard doesn't support the Core 2 Quad processors, I had to take mine back as it wouldn't support my Q6600

It wouldn't work at all and according to the ASUS website, even with the latest BIOS update it still doesn't support the Core 2 Quads

P5N32 SLI does not support Quad Core. This is board limitation.

According to Asus and novatech the ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS does support Quad Core. It's a revised version of the board that started this thread. It's all in the added "E"... :D

Bit concerned now.
I just ordered one of these (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?MBB-XLGTV2). The spec states its an Asus P5N-32 SLI... but not with the 'E'. However, it claims to be bundled with a Q6600. Will this be okay?

Also, can anyone tell me what the 'X-league' means?

Cheers.
