Boards got a damn double pump cold start bug or feature :rolleyes:
Turn the comp off overnight and turn power off at the psu = double pump bootup....yay bloody marvellous. Board need a new bios to fix the current half a dozen problems it has atm.
Board would be solid if they come up with a good bios.
I am still entirely mystified by the emblem on th ebox stating it is designer specifically for Water Cooling!?!
Anyone have any clue?? I mean it is a HUGE emblem on th ebox and any retail-shoppers will be attracted to it. WTF do they mean?
Its marketing spin for saying they fixed the cpu power system so it doesn't run hot as hell anymore so it can be used safely with watercooling where you don't have as much airflow over the motherboard. Obviously instead of admitting a mistake Asus chose to spin it as a "Premium" edition and charge more $, but I think they might have shot themselves in the foot by confusing people using air-cooling (unless they just expect them to keep buying the Deluxe).Quote:

Try that if you didn't.
ill will give it a try when flashing it said it was clearing cmos! Gotta say these are nice boards!
Works fine now does enabling the intel robson tech on the board make much difference!

Just found this!

it does seem faster when enabled!
That seems to be for notebooks, why have Asus got it in their bios on this mobo???
I havent got a clue why! Must just be to promote it!
Is it in the deluxe boards maybe just comes with the premium boards!
Asus has changed the box design, just blue box with Black Peral Edition on front.

Very interesting thread.
I'm already quite satisfied with the OC-ability from my P5K-Dlx & Q6600 G0 but it looks like the P5K premium is going to take the overclocking potential of your hardwares up another level....very tempted in getting the premium to replace the deluxe
I hope the new P5K-Premium will take 4x1GB ram's OC-ability higher and more stable than P5K-Dlx.
P5K-Deluxe doesn't really shine in the 4x1GB ram OC area but other than that, it does everything an OC enthusiast ask for.
anyone try 4X1Gb of memory on this board yet?

Here is my result, so far so good :)
except CPU and Ram, all other voltages are the lowest in the BIOS,

The Premium is only $10 more than the Deluxe in the US. That makes the market position of the deluxe confusing to consumers. Why should anyone chose the deluxe over the premium?
Just bought the P5K-Premium 18th Anni Black Pearl
Sorry for the poor quality pics...
The first pic is the cover of the box in metalic sapphire blue, very sexy, and the stamp of 18th Anni Black Pearl.
The second pic is the box in black so it's different from the pic shown above by Palese.

any other pics besides the outside of the box? lol
I think asus took a lot of heat over the "Designed for water cool" plus confused air people. I bet it cost them sales so they changed the box. I could be wrong :shrug:Quote:

Are you going to do a head to head challenge thread using the same cpu?
