the p5k3 i tried under ln2 was made in china as well... i dont think this has a big impact on whether it likes cold or not :/

well i dont like rog boards... they are way overpriced imo... :P
ive seen a roundup of p35 and x38 boards, i think it was on the hardware site of jmax. he tested the p5k3 vs blitz and p5e3 dlx vs maximus i think, so basically the normal asus board vs the rog asus board. and every rog board got around 50mhz lower fsb speeds than the normal asus boards.

let me see if i can find that article...
hmmm cant find it... :/
