sweet

I like the layout and also the I/O backpanel

more vendors need to start dumping the parallel port and put more USB ports or for mobos with integrated graphics.. VGA and DVI or HDMI connectors

now we'll have to wait for OCing results

[bluetooth]

NOt bad.

ASUS P5E-VM HDMI G35 mainboard overclocks well beyond 480MHz FSB The Intel P35 chipset has been known to o/c very well especially high FSB can be reached when paired with a lower multiplier. Users of E6300 has benefited from the low multiplier, allowing them to reach the 3 GHz mark.

Intel G35 is the first DX10 integrated graphics chipset. As we are in the midst of our review, we have tested the overclocking of the ASUS P5E-MV HDMI mainboard based on this chipset.

Using the E6300, we are able to POST as high as 6 x 520MHz. We managed to get it stable at 6 x 480MHz with an external graphics card 2600XT. Below is a screen shot.

OK, let's say I have a system like this but it rests on my computer desk and is 10 feet from my 42" LCD. How do I hook it up especially when there is a walkway between the two? It's not like when I use my Notebook. Are people setting these up at the TV and using it as a monitor with wireless keyboards?

I think you would have to place it near your TV set.
Since it is a matx board, you would probably want to set up a small case for it.

you DO know that they make longer HDMI cables than just the average 6-10ft ones at your local electronics store...

how much tweaking did you have to do? just the FSB and multiplier or did you have to bump the voltages as well


I got this mobo to replace a 965DS3 because it's smaller so i can put it in a little case and still OC but no matter what I do i can't get past 420FSB x6 I know the processor has a lot more headroom because I have it rock solid at 400FSB x8 and running the DDR2 @ 500/[1000MHz] but i just can't seem to get it going with a lower multiplier and higher FSB
