LOL nice
looks good buddy :D
What a good resul 4319.9MHz
I see more differences btw.....:confused2
But it doesn't really matter.
Testing the board asap.
Here some bios files for Asus P5K Deluxe:
0123 / 0202 / 0303 / 0304
Since I only see one IDE connector and it is red, can I assume support for IDE optical drives has been dropped and only SATA optical drives are supported?
Lol that's a weird assumption :lol:
cant wait to get mine. My QX6700 has been waiting for this :)
No problem.
Looks like I will flash the bios with 304 before I do anything else :)
I've just got the board today but there is no an optional fan that to use with water cooling. Can anyone comfirm this to me please as this board doesn't come with the optinal fan? Thanks guy

they usually sound like leaf blowers anyway, better off with a low rpm yate loon or similar over the area.
I like this board after little boot problems. I need much less vCore to get same MHz I'd with GuadGT.
ASUS P5K DLX @ 1.385V ~ 3320MHz
ABIT GuadGT @ 1.42-1.435V ~3290-3320MHz
ASUS P5K DLX @ 1.425V ~ 3500MHz (over 5 hours SP2004 Orthos)
ABIT GuadGT @ 1.465V ~ 3500MHz
BIOS 311:
CPU @ 1.425V
NB @ 1.55V
SB @ 1.2V
MEM @ 2.1V
:rolleyes:
Say, how are the temps of the chipset on the Asus P5K3 (DLX) boards?
I heard rumours that they were way higher then compared to any Gigabyte P35 board.
Can anyone tell me if this is true or not?
Anyone?
That may or may not be true but my P-35 requires no additional voltage to reach 475 Mhz and higher. I haven't tested for max FSB but have booted at 500 with no extra volts.
I found an interesting article regarding the P35 chipset boards from Asus.
They are compared to a Gigabyte board here:

The results are almost shocking.
Well dont get me wrong mate.
Im not saying Asus sucks because i am a fan of their boards too.
I was just looking from a quality and overclocking point of view.
And i asked myself the question why their temps would be higher then the Gigabyte boards with the same chipset.
dude, the deluxe might be abit hot, but never as hot showed in that .pdf, like dino said it is a pure marketing :banana::banana::banana::banana: that Gigabyte even use @ their website........( but they didnt named the board as asus but as competitor.....), and besides before it will die/worn out from overheating, u will probbly upgrade to another mobo already/cpu.... And if u still unsure, grab the P5K Premium, that is a improved version of the Deluxe, with some cooling improvements, better components around socket area, and no more mosfets on the back, and they run cooler, I think the price difference is not that big , at least in the Netherlands just 20 euro.. I know which 1 I would pick.....
