I'm asking this as P5K-Deluxe seems to consume about 20-40W more than Gigabyte and Abit P35 boards, for no reason at all really. At least according to TechReport and X-bit labs.

I'd like to see some tests myself. I'm wondering, could the power consumption differences be a result of the same vcore settings across the boards tested, but ASUS's voltage damper not letting the vcore droop as much resulting in more power draw in comparison to a droopier board?

That said, I wish ASUS came out with this instead of the Deluxe...I like the mosfet placement much better than the Deluxe I have, and cant return and exchange for the same priced Premium as it is too old, doooh!
