Very nice :up:

I am looking to buy a P5K-E , are you happy with this mobo ? It does have vdroop protection right ? Any pointers would be great.

PcCI2iminal Nice review. This board looks realy good.

Thanks

[MakenValborg]

Very good result!!! :up:

Soon this mobo will be mine :yepp:

Only a question: you know in what the P5K-E is different from the P5K DELUXE?? :confused:

Thanks

[superray]

I've been waiting for this board for quite a while.
Any one knows how much it will cost?

[gaspimp]

Expect it to cost around the half way mark between the P5K and the P5K Deluxe.

[aussie-revhead]

Yes the -E was just a little cheaper than the Deluxe here but there seems to have been a price drop on the -E , now closer to P5K price than Deluxe which is good for me .

:up:

MakenValborg : Not much difference by the looks, there was another thread on this , mainly Deluxe has:

Extra heatsink at VR's ( iirc) next to cpu socket
heatpipe covers Northbridge and Southbridge
Extra LAN port
Some small parts ie 2xsata cables and software iirc.

;)

thanks!

My doubt was only on OC capability..
But fortunately I've found deluxe model at the same price of the -E :shocked:

So the problem is gone.. :up:

[Xtasy]

[SpRoX]

What is minimum vcore for this board?

[no_n|ck]

I still think Commando is the best intel p965 board!
