According to Asusworld magazine, it is similar to A8N-E. It
uses "Nforce4" chipset, instead of "Nforce4 Ultra" on A8N-E.

Nforce4 on A8N5X:

Nforce4 Ultra on A8N-E:

It means your A8N5X would have 1.5Gb/sec SATA interfaces
and would be missing "NVIDIA ActiveArmor" dedicated
hardware engine (if that ever worked properly anyway).
The A8N-E can operate at 3.0Gb/sec on SATA.
