Maybe they wanna make a new variation of all the previous P5K series with this stupid layout.Originally Posted by 3NZ0
Another Asus P5K?
how many variations of the p35 chip can you do?!
I smell an epox style layout too (atx)
P5K-Pro, P5K-E Pro, P5K Deluxe Pro, P5k Premium Pro, P5K3 Premium Pro...
P5KC-Pro? :P ..P5K Extreme, P5K Vista Edition, P5K-MX..Maybe they wanna make a new variation of all the previous P5K series with this stupid layout.
P5K-Pro, P5K-E Pro, P5K Deluxe Pro, P5k Premium Pro, P5K3 Premium Pro...
Oh blah?
Looks like a Biostar (they are notorious for putting 24 Pin in that spot) board with Asus stickers slapped on
I still dont understand whats the difference between Assus P5K deluxe and premium.
Thanks

Wht the
Only 1x 4pin cpu power. The IDE connector is also sticking out of the board.

Why the hell is the 24pin back by the IO?
EDIT: Seems I am not the only one who thought that was awkwardThats a horrid looking board, IDE is sitting off the board, and its got wayy to many USB connectors.

I don't think the IDE is off the board, from the way it looks to me, the connector is lying sideways. Which is not too uncommon, though I've only seen it on boards that are set for raid.
I personally like all the usb connections.
The power connection though, ack...
The power must be a joke...is this designed to use video output?
The placement of the 24-pin connector is not as stupid as it may seem. It's right near the power section where it should be. Some of you may remember the NF7-S. The ATX connector was in the same location. That was one of the greatest boards ever. Granted, not a good spot as far as cabling is concerned. But it makes sense from an engineering standpoint.
i f**** hate the IDE connector location at the bottom of the board and now the 24 pin atx connector is located there? are you f**** kidding?

Certainly looks as though the IDE has a slight offset no?I don't think the IDE is off the board, from the way it looks to me, the connector is lying sideways. Which is not too uncommon, though I've only seen it on boards that are set for raid.

Dude my thoughts exactly. Whoever was responsible for the layout of this board should be fired.An open letter to Asus:
Dear Asus,
Congratulations on your new board but if this board was the best thing since sliced bread I wouldn't buy it just because of the location of the 24 pin connector.
It could come packaged with Farrah Fawcett in her prime and I would still pass..Yes, that is how strongly I think you missed the mark with this one.
Sincerely,
xxxx xxxx
PS: Ok, I would take it if it had Farrah in her prime included but I'd return it after a long weekend!

duh...
1. Maybe they forgot to put on a 24-pin and decided to put it where-ever there was an emtpty spot?
2. What's that red thing sticking off of the side?
3. Is this gonna' me another one of those boards where they charge us for the sticker that hides its being a P5K Deluxe with some feature taken out?
4. I think Asus is trying to challenge Mickey D's for their world record title of, "it's all exactly the same with a different name and it's a load of poo." (well actually, i like Asus mobo's but whatever.)
5. Isn't 12 USB ports a little over kill?
Final thoughts: I don't know...I think I'll wait for the "P5K Super Sayin addition." (anyone a DBZ fan? Nope? Alright, I'll get off the stage, just hold the rotten veggies.
It's a pretty ugly board and it seems like they are going with Gigabyte style heat sinks ha

I'm sorry. Asus looks like it's going backwards.
First I had problem with hissing capacitors/VRMs. Returned that board and got my replacement today. Still have yet to test it. Now I come onto the forums and see a mistake of a motherboard that's supposed to be called "Pro"?
It seems like Asus is making every mistake that was supposed to be folklore by now. Boards that had power connectors like that were made back in 2000 or so, and the hissing VRMs are almost unheard of today.
