I cant read much Chinese but the mobo looks nice :)

just milking it

I don't believe crap what the box says. The P5K series is just rubbish and gets hot like an oven compared to others.

Maybe I've gone a bit mad but don't most boards support native 1066MHz DDR2 ?

Thats true. I wonder what the reason is :/

So what is the difference with P5K Deluxe?

and why oh why does Asus have to have 10 identical motherboards in "different colours"

I'm kinda getting sick of Asus.

Hey let's release 5,009,756,595 boards for each chipset in existence...

With "native" asus says that when you put the CPU with NO overclock, the memory can run at 1066mhz speed. Or with other words - it has divider that with 266fsb > 1066mhz memory (there have to be also 200fsb > 1066mhz memory divider).

I don't think P5K Premium's prominent feature is meant to be DDR2-1066Mhz support as P5K Deluxe already does 266FSB 1:2 for that :)

From what i've been told (not much), P5K Premium is just a better oc'ing version of P5K Deluxe i.e. what Asus Commando is to Asus P5B Deluxe.

Hopefully, I should have P5K Premium soon to compare with P5K Deluxe :D

I said enough with asus and p5b dlx, gigabyte appeals to me more.

Cant wait to see your experience with this board.

Give me a break....

LOL? The P5K series has provided some of the best OCs this forum has seen. I personally have achieved insane OCs with reasonable temps.

I found Noticeable diffrerent between P5K Deluxe and P5K Primium!! :

some P5K Deluxe MOSFETs are backside of mobo but in P5K Primium all MOSFETs are onboard!

PS : Again Crap Alminium Cooler for P5K Deluxe and Primium!!
Gigbayte put tons of copper on their P35s but again Asus P35 is more Stable and better overclocker!

I hope the X38 is better than this board...

as you can see here, the CPU area seems to have been tweaked alot.

LOL? both of u r right, Asus's P5K is hotter than GB/MSI's P35, but it does OC better .. especially quads..

I hope that asus resolved the sata issues that p5k deluxe has.
About the differences, I see 3 chokes (RIO) on the upper side of this mobo compared to the 4 that deluxe has...

Is that painted copper on P5K P35 it looks strange compared to the one on the P5K Deluxe..or are they both using painted copper :)

Just looks like different lighting conditions in each photo to me.

Cool, just when I ordered a Deluxe! Yay! I hope it's real expensive so I dont feel too bad. :ROTF:

Asus release too many boards.

Do they OC better? Well I hope so coz they're also the most expensive P35 boards!

I`m waiting for the P5K Vista Editions, or are they already out??

I will wait for ROG versions, idealy with X38 ... this is my new upgrade ... todays P35 mobos are bad, incuding Asus ...

? 600 FSBs bad ?

I wouldn't say they are bad, most have better layouts than comparable P965s, they get higher overclocks, more support for future products, are fairly cheap (most being under $200), I don't see why they are bad?

ah asus is at it again.. :D milking.. hehehe... hope they release the ROG edition ASAP.. :) we will see a 400usd mobo again.. :D

whats the difference compared to the deluxe? :confused:

so there is the p5k, p5k deluxe, p5k premium plus a p5k based ROG board?

P5K3 Premium Wifi-AP Mainboard Soon........

Yes "LOL", because his other comment was:

The P5K series is just rubbish

---

Which doesn't mean both of us are right. He is wrong.

isn't the p5b premium = p5k premium?

p5b deluxe = p5k deluxe

so will asus release a p5k commando then?

the Asus P35 based ROG boards = Asus Blitz Formula and Blitz Extreme http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=4070

Blitz Formula = DDR2
Blitz Extreme = DDR3

I am waiting for X38 to show up or an Abit IP35-Pro

The board I'm looking for is the "P5X Deluxe..."

sorry i didnt see kunaaks post, so the cpu vrm is redesigned, but is it really better than the deluxe? who knows... maybe its just cheaper to make for asus?

man all those different board versions are confusing the hell out of me...

Just watching a vid on Hexus TV and the P5K3 Premium seem to have 2gb of DDR3 memory already on the board with a huge heatsink on the RAM. Though apparently it is not replacable.

i dont see any onboard ddr3...

What the hell are you on about :ROTF:

All I ever see you post about is how you never have enough FSB, and thanks to people like you - we're seeing motherboard companies creating bios' with crap latency and strap settings to please people like yourselves.

Give yourself a round of applause :clap:

It's not all about FSB.
