ASUS P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + E6600 B1 / Q6600 B3

[ziddey]

I'm waiting to see what x38 brings to the table. I'm not interested in sli/xfire either. But, if x38 can deliver 9000+ mbps and <50ns at 500 1:1, I'm all over it

Has anyone been able to test this board with a 6850?

I heard the new steppings are going to improve the OC even more.

new steppings some are good and some are duds so don't be fooled by the early hype yet.. no E6850 but got something close.. it's little brother



new thread for those cpu adventures with P5K Deluxe

Interesting info on that temp. sensor placement. Well at least I know now that as long as the mobo temp is under 60, I'm not going to worry about it. And hopefully these lower temps with the new bios are accurate.

fan over that area dropped my board temps by 2-5C

I have a quick question for you eva2000 -

Given the stellar performance of this motherboard on P35, do you think it's possible that an X38 motherboard could offer better performance with the same components (DDR2, C2D)?

Disregarding SLI and price, is there any reason to hold out for the X38? This board has amazing reviews all over and I am wondering if the PCIE2.0, upgraded memory controller, etc., are really going to be better than Asus's work on this piece of hardware.

yeah from what i read X38 is going to offer better performance...

I might be getting an Asus P5K Premium P35 board meant to be higher model of the P5K Deluxe but not sure of the differences yet so beats me heh
