Conclusion

Well, what can I say? This motherboard combines the most expansive set of features for any desktop motherboard I have tested with its superior overclocking capability. The ability to scale beyond 330 MHz FSB easily without any modifications done to the board and with full stability makes this board a must for extreme LGA775 overclockers. We were faced with stability issues at above approximately 340mhz, and we will keep you updated on whether extra cooling or voltage will alleviate these issues. At the end of the day, what does the extra ¨E¡¨ stand for in this P5AD2-E Premium motherboard? Easily overclocked, Expansive features, Extreme overclocking, but regrettably, Extremely Expensive.

You can purchase this motherboard from Scorptec for 495 AUD here.
