how long would your recommend testing @ full load for ?
If you haven't guessed, I have a P5N-E SLI myself. But I am having some real weirdness with it and I am about to RMA the damn thing. It just won't stay up and running stable for beans. It will start out looking stable then over the course of a few days goes to locking up and finally a no boot situation. But if I leave power off of it for a day or so after this happens the whole cycle starts over.:rolleyes2 Hopefully when I RMA the board I will get back a fully working one as a replacement (heard some horror stories on Asus RMA lately). Other than the weirdness I've had with mine, I have liked the board and it's tunability.
