I'm currently running the 1604 BIOS version.

Not many boards come built with 2*1gig nics and wifi on top of that. As far as the type of cpu you should run well I think it up to you to determine wether you plan on overclocking it or not. Bigger chache simply means that the CPU will be able to store more information as to what your hard drive is storing and where so it don't have to spend a lot of time searching all over the place for it when a specific file is requested via a game or spread sheet. So the more cache is usually better. More cache does seem to make a cpu run a little hotter beucase they require a bigger die size.

If you look at the link I referenced to AMD you will notice that the 2gig cache chip that only runs at 3Ghz is a 125w version of the x2 6000+ chip vs the 1gig chip runs at 3.1Ghz and is a 89w version. Simply put the 3.1Ghz will overclock a little easier and already runs a little faster out the gate. The smaller the die size and the lower the wattage = the cooler the cpu will run. Anther thing to consider. Your mobo is designed to run a chip up to 125w. It can run chips of 125w but it will also put more stress on your mobo. More stress = more heat on the powering componants. I.E. Capacitors VRM's etc etc. So the longer you run a 125w cpu then the more likely the mobo will not last as long as vs a mobo set up with a 89w or lower cpu.

Hope this help and good luck,

As far as I get, you suggest me to have a 6000+ (3.1ghz) or 7750BE.

But, are we 100% sure that 7750BE's work flawlessly on M2N32; because acc. to the asus support page it is not supported by any released bios yet (and I read somewhere else asus has no plan to release any further bios for this board).

I'm getting lost.
Because yesterday I read some reviews showing that even OC'ed x3 8450's beat x2 6000's in many apps. (not mainly today's games but it is expected to see more titles to have +2 core support in the near future).

So today's question is (sorted acc to price):

x2 6000+(3.1) or x3 8450 or x2 7750be

(for sure all of them will be OC'ed before use)
Regards,

i wreccomend the 7750 if you plan on staying dual core. it oc good.

I see you are using a quad core with M2N32. I think you're happy with it? Can you share your experiences with us (like OC'ing details, game peformance, bios etc).

Thanks,

I have good news about 7750BE.
Finally I found someone running a 7750BE on M2N32. There is just a default Vcore problem which needs an attention. Here is the link for details.

I have done some research the last couple of weeks on the 7750 kuma core and the M2N32-sli deluxe. Here's what I found out:

Bad news:
- ASUS does not support the 7xxx series CPU's for the M2N32-SLI deluxe at the moment
- ASUS will not bring out a BIOS update for the 7xxx series in the (near) future. They are not currently working on it and it is not in the planning.

I have correspondence with ASUS support to back both statements up.

Good news:
- Some people say the kuma core is nothing more than the phenom I with 2 cores disabled, and so it is possible that the kuma is supported by the latest BIOS. I read so on the ASUS forum as well as here and on some other forums as well.
- I found one person who states that it actually does work. I have the link to the website here. Cartago2202 in post 170 The website is in German though, so I'll translate it:

So, on the M2N32 Sli DeLuxe with bios 2101 runs the 7750BE without problems. Its recognized in the BIOS and almost all settings are right, only the voltage is set too high. With me it was 1.36V. I have manually changed it to 1.225V (real 1.26V). Coretemp shows only one temperature 23C, everest shows cpu 48° ,cores 21°-21° (all idle).

Now for my question
Has someone here tried the 7750 on the M2N32-SLI deluxe. I would really love to know for sure that this thing works, before I buy it. If not I think I'll go for the Athlon X2 6000+ @3100 MHz

I found out that on Guru3D there was another person willing to try the 7750 on the M2N32-SLI deluxe, so I asked him to share the results and to provide proof in case it works. I also gave him the information I found out on the German forum, especially about the voltage setting in the BIOS.

I am really interested in the results. Also I would love to see some benchmarks against the Athlon X2 6000+ (3.1GHz).

Anyway, that much of proof is enough for me about 7750 on M2N32. I'll order one asap and keep you informed about the results.
