Talked to a nice guy over at Zipzoomfly. He said he was familiar with the motherboard and that the delays are due to producing enough units for release. ZZF's ETA is currently this friday 9.29. If this doens't come out friday, I just may boycott Asus for the rest of my life. They have wasted so much of my time, it's ridiculous...
 
I'm not sure why Asus didn't take DFI's lead and simply can the project... come out with a proper board when the C55 is released. You'd think they would have enough pull with nVidia to be working with engineer releases of the C55 so that a MB could be to market as soon as the C55 was in production.

Meanwhile, Asus's lack of communication has left an awful lot of C2Ds sitting on shelves. Count me as one of the suckers.

Not a lot that Asus could have done EXCEPT be upfront about it!
 
Here in DK eta is 11.01 🙁 and chip is c19 sooooooo if ya hate waiting ..go for another mobo I'll wait for c55 I have time LoL
 
Alright, after becoming entirely disgusted with the inaccurate and/or lack of information available concerning the release of the Asus P5N32-SLI Premium, I decided to give Asus a call, again. After deflecting two or three attempts to get me off the phone, I was finally able to speak to an individual not only able, but willing, to provide up-front answers to my questions. Here are the "facts" I was given:

1. The board WILL be released [likely the end of] this week.
2. The board WILL initally support the C19 northbridge chipset.
3. The board WILL migrate to the C55 chipset around November.
4. It is currently unknown whether this migration will be silent or involve the introduction of a new revision/model.

It was unclear to him as to why our specific distributor (who will be one of the first few to receive the product) is repoting such a distant ETA of 10/20 (also reflected by the distant ETAs currently provided by several resellers). Therefore, I will be contacting our distributor in an attempt to unshroud this confusion. So, more information to come.

Finally, to reemphasize, this Asus representative was VERY confident when stating that the board will be released this week. Not that this confidence will likely represent much value for those of us who have been given this same "soon to be released" data for months, but it's the most confident information I've received thus far, so I'm going to trust it.
 
I just hope is not those representatives that say sh*t just to get rid of you. Also, C55 for november, thats not too far away, I thought they were gonna release it on december or beginning 2007.

Those are great news :) ... if they are real
 
because they know people is freakin' waiting for the board since long time ago and they know if they release it, doesnt matter how many of them, they will probably sold out (if not, sell most merchandise)
 
Hell I gave up on waiting a while ago and got another board. The current P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe x16 with nForce 4....updated with the current 0401 bios avaialbe as asus.com....is no damn different from the nFocre 590 board we're all waiting for.

With the 590 board your get 2 more sata connectors and EPP support for RAM. Virtually everything including performance works fine on the current P5N32.

What I would suggest, if you need something now anyway, is go ahead and get the P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe mobo and flash the bios to 0401.

I don't have benchmarks available, but here is something that many of you may find impressive of a system. I was just using this as a temp until the new mobo came out.

I'm using this board with a Core 2 extreme and 2 gb of ram. Also running Quad SLI. Nothing overclocked as I'm not done converting the system over to my primary build. Buy anyway, I have two 21 inch widescreen monitors (both at 1680 x 1050 res) and I'm playing 2 accounts of Everquest II at the same time using windowed mode and the horizontal span monitor settings.

I can run EQII......2 instances......at max details and it plays just fine. Anyone who played EQII knows its a resourse eater and I was very impressed this machine could handle it without overclocking.

Point of the story, just get something that suits your needs for the time being. When c55 hits the shelves then feel free to go nutz. Untill then a P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe is just fine for the hard-core intel gamer.
 
I gave up waiting also. But the reason people are waiting for this board IS for the improved overclocking capabilities (or so nvidia/asus claim). Other than that, there's still the 2 16x pci-e slots for SLI/quad, and the slot for future release of nvidia's physics card.

You are right that there is no damn difference, because the initial release of this board is using C19, which is same chipset for your board. People are mainly waiting for the C55 to be implemented, supposely late Oct./early Nov.

For the resolution/multi-monitor set up you're running, graphics are a lot more GPU bound than CPU, and since your running Quad everything is suppose to run silky smooth =/ Point is for your type of setup, the 590 doesn't really benefit you at all IMO unless you're actually going to put in a physics card.
 
That physics card is so gimmicky. Once quad core comes out the available extra CPU power will make it worthless. I resent they even are putting it on the board. As for people getting upset with Asus in regards to the release, not to be rude, but cmon get a life. IF you can even afford this MB then you can certainly afford to get a cheapy MB until this is released. If all you have money for is this board then I suggest it is a bad investment. In 3mo it will be worth half the current price.
 
that third slot is more important, not just for quad sli + physics but for users that are currently using SLi and want to put a PCI Express x8 SCSI interface card on it... like me.

now, i bet almost anything that asus is gonna keep on manufacturing this board with all the c19 leftovers they have from the initial p5n32-sli which is a pos, and when the c55 comes out they're gonna make the intel version of the R.O.G. (Republic of Gamers) series which will have all the features of this mobo, the r.o.g. one and who knows what other bells and whistles on it

so yes i would buy this board right now because im not that much interested in its overclocking potential but this AILife series is pretty old, and if im going to have to wait another month or two for the new mobo, i will do so
 
Thanks for setting me straight on that slot. with aftermarket cooling and SLI I wonder if you can actually fit another card in this system. I couldnt fit much else on my old Asus A8N32-SLI DELUXE.
 
if this board would've been out +6 days ago like it was supposed to, alot of people would've bought it including myself, now were practically in october so just wait another month for the one with the c55 to come out. If your even more patient, wait for the R.O.G. series for intel

Whats the R.O.G series? will it officially support SLI? thats the only reason I need an nvidia-chipset mobo. I'd much prefer Intel otherwise.

Its the "Republic Of Gamers" series, and yes it should support SLI as there already is an AMD version of the 590 that supports it, u can see it here:

I wouldnt expect the c55 to come out just one month after the current board. Probably more like December or first quarter of 2007. I could be wrong but there is probly more to it than just slapping the new chip on the board.
 
I know, but here are some "facts" that needs to be proven...

1) DailyNews said that C55 would be released on november, the question is, why would it be released 1 month after their great p5n32-sli premium board with c19?

2) If it comes out, like someone in here said, will it be silent (a new revision) or a brand new motherboard?

I would like to know what the heck is going on....

Oh Yeah, that R.O.G I did know about it and I thought every motherboard was ROG, I see not all of them even the Premium C19 is NOT ROG! right? It doesnt say nothing...

Once C55 comes, I will get it right away.

Something just came to my head, what if this happens.... Ok P5N32-SLI Premium is released everybody buys it and then C55 is silently released (revision 2 of the board for example) and suddenly ASUS makes the P5N32-SLI Premium a R.O.G motherboard on the webpage saying that make sure you look for the ROG sign on the box to make sure you are getting a ROG motherboard (c55 chipset)

Doesnt sound bad right? :)
