Ordered my P5Q DLX 5mins ago :D
Should be here by friday or next monday
The P5Q-DLX is really tempting me .. only thing about it is the completely retarded placement of the sata ports =/
If they would all be sideways I would already have ordered it. Having the ports horizontal and in the middle of the board is silly, sata cables dont bend that easy and I'd like them under my tray ... and NOT above half my motherboard before they even reach the tray.
It is very hard to got huge FSB on Quad with any MoBo ;)
PS
If anybody need BIOS 302 (BETA) just PM me :wave:
Im looking at different MBs for an Intel quad build while the board looks beautiful and in my price range except the SATA placement, 1 thing has me puzzled (100% Japan-made Solid Capacitor) (5000 hrs VRM) per ASUS website duz this mean it will last less then 1 yr or 208.3 days at 24/7 use :shocked: please tell me this is not correct.... hopes its the n00b factor kicking in or lack of sleep in my thinking?
Edit: contacted Asus tech (US) support and they was unsure what it was but trying to find an answer to the Question and will e-mail me something when he finds out he said best he could tell ATM was something to do with the power saving design on the 16Phase design the (board is due for release in the North america market in June/08)
PM doesn't work :(
I got 3 mail inbox, so if anyone PM me for BIOS I cant red messages...
Mail it to me plz : grampsjr10@hotmail.com, will put it on my FTP then
Actually latest build are:

Loadline calibration set to 1.250 with Qx9650 :
AUTO : 1.250Vcore in bios -- 1.216 in Idle (CPU-Z) -- 1.168 (CPU-Z) under Small FFT's
DISABLED : 1.250Vcore in bios -- 1.216 in Idle (CPU-Z) -- 1.168 (CPU-Z) under Small FFT's
ENABLED : 1.250Vcore in bios -- 1.240 in Idle (CPU-Z) -- 1.256 (CPU-Z) under Small FFT's
So AUTO is the same as DISABLED...
leeghoofd
please test max fsb with a wolfdale
thanks:)
Wolfdale results please, also 2x2GB clocking would be nice :D
Maybe, on BLITZ Formula with 1504 BIOS i got tRFC over 100, and P5Q Dlx for now has standard 42, and AUTO settings give me default 52, so i cant tweak mem to the limit :D
Hehe, anyway both P5Q and those OCZ are in the way to my hands, let see how well they work together :D
Maybe i will get me one of these too, but i hvae complaints about the pcie lanes.
To be more precisely, i will get me a new gfx card (ATI 4k or GTX 2X0) in the near future and i am running a pcie raid controller (pcie 8x).
So question is if the gfx will be limited by running at only pcie 8x ?
Atm i am using a DFI X38 LT with 45nm quad (fsb limit around 440 mhz :( ).
