Maybe they wanna make a new variation of all the previous P5K series with this stupid layout.Quote:

I still dont understand whats the difference between Assus P5K deluxe and premium.
Thanks
Wht the :rofl: :rofl:. a stupid layout
Only 1x 4pin cpu power :eek:. The IDE connector is also sticking out of the board.
Why the hell is the 24pin back by the IO?
EDIT: Seems I am not the only one who thought that was awkward :) Thats a horrid looking board, IDE is sitting off the board, and its got wayy to many USB connectors.
So....does anyone wanna make bets on whether this one is gonna have a sata problem also. I got 5 on it.
theres nothing 'Pro' about this motherboard :shakes: :rofl:
I don't think the IDE is off the board, from the way it looks to me, the connector is lying sideways. Which is not too uncommon, though I've only seen it on boards that are set for raid.Quote:

The power must be a joke...is this designed to use video output?
The placement of the 24-pin connector is not as stupid as it may seem. It's right near the power section where it should be. Some of you may remember the NF7-S. The ATX connector was in the same location. That was one of the greatest boards ever. Granted, not a good spot as far as cabling is concerned. But it makes sense from an engineering standpoint.
i f**** hate the IDE connector location at the bottom of the board and now the 24 pin atx connector is located there? are you f**** kidding?
24 pin connector is just dumb
don't give them any ideas. :rofl:Quote:

4. I think Asus is trying to challenge Mickey D's for their world record title of, "it's all exactly the same with a different name and it's a load of poo." (well actually, i like Asus mobo's but whatever.)
5. Isn't 12 USB ports a little over kill?
Final thoughts: I don't know...I think I'll wait for the "P5K Super Sayin addition." (anyone a DBZ fan? Nope? Alright, I'll get off the stage, just hold the rotten veggies.
It's a pretty ugly board and it seems like they are going with Gigabyte style heat sinks ha
i like it
looks good :)
and that power connector is in the right stop :D
shame about 4-pin connector :(
dinos is that you in your avatar?
mad overclocker!
saaya :D
There is never such thing as too many USB connectors :DQuote:

First I had problem with hissing capacitors/VRMs. Returned that board and got my replacement today. Still have yet to test it. Now I come onto the forums and see a mistake of a motherboard that's supposed to be called "Pro"?
It seems like Asus is making every mistake that was supposed to be folklore by now. Boards that had power connectors like that were made back in 2000 or so, and the hissing VRMs are almost unheard of today.
:rolleyes:
