ASUS has announced their latest P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP boardbased on the "eradicated" nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition chipset and interestinglythis board has 3 x PCI Express x16 slot (2 for SLI and one for Physicscard). One could be mistaken that there is a NVIDIA Physics card from the PR but it probablymean that a 3rd NVIDIA graphics card (we reported before here)can be plugged into the 3rd x16 slot to do Physics calculations, similar to theATi Crossfire Physics concept of using 3 graphics cardswhich we have seen during Computex. Apparently, only ASUS will mass produceboards based on nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition where others have opted for theupcoming C55 chipset to be launched in November. Luckily, C55 is pin compatiblewith nForce 590 SLI chipset so no major changes are required.
Below is the press release :
ASUS Technology Pte. Ltd. (ASUS), the worldwide leader of motherboards, todayintroduced the P5N32-SLI premium/WiFi-AP, which leveraged Quad-SLI technology,Intel's Core2 Extreme support, and a third PCI Express x16 slot for Nvidia'supcoming Physics card to deliver superior gaming realism. Teamed with SupremeFXand DTS connect, P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP-powered systems provide gamingexperiences that look, feel and sound real.
Powerful processing capability for games
The P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP is a gamer's dream up true. It is Quad-SLI readyand supports the Intel Core2 Extreme processor, providing superior processingpower for the most graphics resource-hungry applications. The motherboardincorporated three PCI Express x16 slots (two for SLI-ready dual-GPU graphicscards and one reserved for Nvidia's Physics card) to enable unparalleledgraphics performance and gaming realism.

Supreme audio and realistic sound
The SupremeFX audio card and DTS connect combined to offer great sound qualityto go with the robust video power. The SupremeFX offers enhanced signal-to-noiseratio, while DTS connect, with 24bit/192kHz full sampling in all 7.1 surroundchannel, delivers exhilarating surround sound for games, MP3, WMA and CD etc.
AI Lifestyle features
The motherboard, of course, included a wide range of exclusive features foundonly on ASUS solutions.
8-Phase Power Design
The 8-Phase Power Design provides highly efficient operation to generate lessheat (at least 15°C) than other conventional power solutions. It reduces inputripple current and output ripple voltage, which keeps CPU and VRM (voltageregulation modules) from suffering the risk of high power stress. It has theadvantages of quick transient response and stability, especially beneficial whenCPU requires more current immediately under heavy loading or overclocking mode.
WiFi-AP Solo – Wireless connection even when the system sleeps
WiFi-AP Solo allows a new level of PC versatility by providing both access point(AP) and wireless client modes. Even when the system sleeps the AP modecontinues to connect devices in the WLAN for games, Internet access and printerfunctions sharing.
Fan-less Designs – Stack Cool and Copper Heat Pipe
The fan-less designs bring effective and noiseless cooling to counter the heatgenerated by components. Watch movies, listen to music and play games, and enjoythe peace and quiet. System damage from fan failure is also a thing of the past.The copper heat pipe directs heat generated by the chipsets to the heatsink nearthe back I/O ports, where it can be carried away by existing airflow, whileStack Cool effectively transfers heat generated by the critical components tothe other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for fastheat dissipation.
Performance and silent computing
With AI Nap, users can instantly “relax” their PCs without terminating currenttasks. System will continue to operate at minimum power and noise when users aretemporarily away. It downloads files and run applications at the quietest statewhile users are asleep. Simply click on the mouse to wake up the system inseconds. To balance system performance and silent computing, AI Gear enablesusers to choose from profiles to adjust CPU frequency and vCore voltage,minimizing system noise and power consumption.
