DDR2 or DDR3?
The pro looks nice. But I must restrain myself till 2009!
Can't quite comprehend those sata ports on either board tbh (5 drives here)
mm; all these nice looking boards, and no reason to buy one :(Quote:

The Pro on the other hand looks nice, all the connectors along the bottom and the same heat pipe assembly as the P5K-E, i only wish they included a heatsink for the mosfets up top too.
look at the RAM slots ;)Quote:

I'd take the P5Q3 Deluxe :p: ;)
buy a selection, bench them, sell them, no real reason required except the wish for some fun:p:Quote:

True and once more we lead the performance as we did with E6600 in Q2 2006, no reason to waste money on something that will have no future after 2008.Quote:

Although, there are three PCIe 16x slots, it'd be nice to know whether they auto switch between 8x/8x or if they're fixed at some really stupid 16x/4x like they were on the P5K...
Or asus ..... p45 extreme :)Quote:

Look nice, but unless you are wanting a Crossfire setup, P35 is fine with me. In fact I will keep rocking with my cheap Gigabyte P35 DS3L. I am thinking not alot people will jump to the P45. Also cost? I mean we are looking at X38 prices? Also with Intel's next generation tech comming really soon, I much rather save my money for this. Although this is XS Forums ;)
Well i'm skipping from the P965 and going straight to the P45...PCIe2.0 is a serious draw for me, as well as ICH10. That and most P35 boards looked really bland :(
Some reason the Pro doesn't have the second heatsink on the MOSFET's above the socket?
Finally an Asus product I might like.
Same as P5K PRO versus P5K/EPU.Quote:

I'm still confused, P45 is supposed to be the consumer chipset, and X48 is the highend. But is P45 supposed to be better than x48?
P5Q-E = P5K-EQuote:

In my country a P45 is what you get when you leave a job, I'm guessing these boards are well named.
Huh? Why doesn't it have the heatsink there? It looks like they just forgot it... the MOSFETs are bare.Quote:

ICH10 for one (I know, southbridge)
PCIe 2.0
quite probably more PCIe Lanes
It's a completely different chipset, BIOS flashing is not possible.Quote:

Better bare, than airbags oner FET's that contains hot air. You know, heatsinks with pushpins are not making good contact with FET's are worse than having no heatsink at all. FET heatsink with backplate and real metal screws are best anyway.Quote:

There is no need for new boards over 150$ with DDR2, there is no reason supporting old technology even if cheap DDR3 parts won't show performance jump, but still thats investment in future. And still we will be using LGA775 for a year until Nehalem boards/bioses will be enthusiast friendly. I really see no reason for 150$+ DDR2 boards.
BOO!!! - give us DDR3 :up:Quote:

We've gotten a hold of some information about the upcoming P5Q series from ASUS. The boards are based on the Intel P45 chipset and right now we know of two boards of the series; ASUS P5Q-E and P5Q Pro. Both boards use the older DDR2 memory standard, and supports up to 1200MHz memory frequency. They bring support for the latest Intel processors, with 1600MHz FSB, and they also have the new EPU. EPU is a built-in chip that will save power by adjusting voltages on the fly during idle situations.
ASUS P5Q-E is the higher-end of the two. It sports a more advanced cooling with a larger heatsink on top of the northbridge and additional cooling for the voltage regulators on the top of the boards (right side in the pictures below). It also has a third PCIe x16 slot, which you can use to run three ATI Radeon cards in CrossFireX with 8x physical bandwidth on two slots, and 4x on the third one. When running two cards in CrossFire you get 8x bandwidth with each slot.
Both cards use the new ICH10R southbridge, where the PATA support has finally been removed, but those of you who are still using the fossilized format can relax. ASUS has added an external controller. There are eight SATA ports all in all, six from the southbridge and two from an external controller.
Two Firewire ports, support for up to 12 USB ports, 8 channel HD audio, 2 PCI ports, and 2 PCIe x1 ports (3 with P5Q Pro) and dual Gb Ethernet (single with P5Q Pro), are just some of the features you will find with both boards.
Keep your eyes open, because we have more information coming up.
Since the pictures are the same, more or less, I removed them.

Oooh, and 8x PCIe 2.0 is equivalent to 16x PCIe 1.1!
Finally a decent setup! :D
Now order nVidia to allow SLI on it! I DEMAND SO!
Also:
P5Q Deluxe & P5Q3 Deluxe
Asus...always with 300 different motherboards, pish.
p5q deluxe? Hmm either this or dfi p45, maybe one more 775 board for me?
I'm curious how these will perform.
Tomorrow will hang pics
I was expecting two 16x PCI-E 2.0 slots, but two 8x should still be decent.
Nice but im waiting for nehalem :p:
(The P5Q-Pro would make a good benching mobo)
Does anyone know any release dates for P45? Either the day Intel releases the chipset to the manufacturer or the day the boards are released to the public. I'm eargerly waiting to upgrade to an E8400 (8300 depending when it comes out) and a P45 board.
...Waiting till nelhem (however it's spelt)...
Prolly go P5Q Dlx here... awaiting Pics and test from Xevipiu (what does that mean ?)
P5Q-E looks nice
I've been looking through the Pre launch news on MSI boards, and I dont see a successor the the P35 Neo 2!!!!
They sooooo need a successor to the P35 neo 2 omg!!!
I'll go see if I can get any info on the MSI forums.

Intel is planning to release the successor the popular P35 chipset in a few weeks, the aptly named P45. From a feature standpoint, the P35 and P45 are somewhat similar. But the P45 will have official support for 1,600MHz FSB processors, PCI Express 2.0, and the chipset is being manufactured 65nm as opposed to 90nm, which should being power consumption and heat down a bit. The P45 will also be paired up with a new ICH10-series southbridge, which offers more SATA connectivity.
Asus showed off a few P45-based motherboards at CeBit a while back, but they weren't quite ready for prime time. We have, however, just gotten our hands on the retail-ready version of the Asus P5Q Deluxe, which should be available soon.
As you can see, the P5Q Deluxe sports a passive, all copper cooling system, very similar to the P5E3 series of boards. It's got three physical PCI Express x16 slots, dual PCIe x1 slots, and a pair of PCI slots. Audio duties are handled by an ADI HD codec, and the I/O backplane is loaded with six USB 2.0 ports, dual LAN jacks, a PS/2 mouse or keyboard port (notice the two-tone colored port), digital and analog audio outputs, Firewire, and eSATA.
If you look between the second PCI and PCIe x16 slots, a flash memory card is visible, which features the "Express Gate", Linux-based mini-OS we told you about here.
We haven't fired the board up just yet, but will be soon. Once we're done with testing, we'll be publishing a full review, so stay tuned. Something tells us that new 65nm northbridge is going to fun to overclock

They had better release to the public within the next 2 weeks or else i'm going to hulk out ;)
I like Asus mobos but I'm so used to/content with gigabyte boards and their bios I don't think I want to switch.
hehe, I used to use Asus exclusively until I got my current MSI board, and I got converted to MSI o.O
I'm just a sucker for the cool shiny copper pipes.
The Deluxe version looks good though, but MSI should be able deliver that kind of passive cooling on a lower priced board.
haha it is gigabyte vs asus!Quote:

P5Q-E it is. Excellent.
you mean P5Q-E?
I have some scoops, hope it's not a repost! :up:

I never paid much attention to this detail, maybe I will be retuning to Asus then o.O
And i'm not buying a Gigabyte now :p
Is this Asus design *TRUE* 16 phase?...what chips are they using?, i thought Intersil only had 6 phase PWM chips?
Lol they did the same if I recall correctly with P5K dlx from Asus... and indeed everyone agreed that gigabyte faked their 12 power phase design... lol some guys beat me to it:)Quote:

they are probably feeling a bit of pressure as they are losing ground on them otherwise they wouldn't introduce all these new changes to their boards to counter GB hahahah
I wish they didn't go down this path as it will soon start to be more about bling than board itself :(
both Gigabyte and Asus need to take a step back a bit imo
what they all need to do is respond with good pricing and not this crap ;)
Anyone else notice the AWFUL 24pin placement?Quote:

I like the looks of the P5Q Premium. Hopefully the slot placements are good as I haven't seen any pics yet. All I need is a PCI-Ex16, PCI-Ex1 & a standard PCI & also SATA connectors that aren't blocked by my video card!!!
P5K PRO and P5K/EPU have the same layout, so I know how annoying this is:Quote:

But considering that an MSI X48 board costs £140, I'm not going to be paying more for a P45!
More info on it here http://www.overclock3d.net/news.php?...s_ii_formula/1
DDR2 woo hoo!!!! I'll be keeping an eye on this board.Quote:
Mosfet manufacturers must be loving ASUS at the moment with the Maximus II featuring 16-Phase PWM for the CPU, 3-Phase for the Northbridge and 2-Phase for the DDR2 slots
All the info on the Maximus II is that its a DDR2 board, although i doubt that it'll be £100, more like £150!
Maximus II is one fugly board, really :/
It looks professionally made, Gigabyte boards, and some of the other Asus offerings in the past, with the brown PCBs have looked like kiddie toys, poorly made, or just out of date. This looks bang up to date and gorgeous IMO. I'll be getting one :)
Call it the last gasp of DDR2 and the FSB :D
Looks like crap (literally :lol:)
P5Q Deluxe looks cool.
I coudnt care what it looks like it's not a Fashion Accessory? :rofl: as long as it gets the job done - only time I look in my windowed case is if I'm doing the build, thats it.
Yea I thought so. So wouldnt the MSI X48c make a better buy for £140? I just want more power for my crossfire, but will wait for the full launch of the P45 boards before buying one. Basically since I can get an MSI X48 for £140, Im looking at a maximum of £100 for a decent P45. I like the maximus formula II, but it will be too pricey.Quote:

I'm a weakling. I went ahead and ordered an MSI X48c for £148 because I had £170 saved up in my paypal account to spend.
Well, it is better then P45 anyway :)
one thing for sure
i find the p5k deluxe hardware monitoring kindda silly
as they only show this

My P5Q-E comes in the morning :D yaay Its replacing my beloved P5K-PREMIUM,which has been a doll,not a bad word to say about it really.I just want at least 8X 8X xfire,and not the 16X 4X that the P5K-P has.
Guys who has P5Q-E help plz. It is necessary to measure resistance of 3 resistors and the condenser on a picture. Thanking you very much in advance :)
http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1...raftdw0.th.jpg
I'll try to measure these resistances when I go home. Why do you need to know these values?
During a bench from the dropped out condensate in this place there was a short circuit, as a result a mobo is dead: at start instead of put 1,3V on the processor moves 0,4-0,5V that insufficiently for processor work. I try to recover mobo, but it is bad that precisely same nearby is not present.
For any questions on the mods etc open new thread in releavant section or continue existing one.
