NEW ASUS P5Q-Deluxe

[DFI pit bull]

I detect a sticker covering "P5K-Deluxe" writing...

Well spotted, lol

[Jamesrt2004]

Maybe it is PCI-E 2.0 16x, but when Crossfired it splits to PCI-E 1.0 16x/16x

wouldn't pci-e 2.0 8x/8x be more of erm what it is as like the power in the slot is higher in pci-e 2 then 1... ?????????

New P5Q-E

[K404]

very clean layout, il give it that.

Not so sure about the power phases though

[STaRGaZeR]

Very noce to see 65nm in chipsets finally, look at that little thing

[cozwin]

One, I've never really payed attention to those.

And two, screw yourself buddy. Don't get pissy because I BUILT a better rig than you.

... now normally i don't see why people hate us younger folks... but now i see.
Grow up buddy just because your like OMFG look at my imba 1337 rig that you probably spent all your mommy and daddies money on compared to us that have real stuff to pay for so how about screw you and end it there.

[Silver Bullet]

From the first picture set I think the top one is just a place holder not a real production board.




Notice sticker vs silk screened ... be interesting to see which one comes out in a couple weeks.

He's from Hammy town ... must be something in the water

I'm sorry to bring you back to reality, but actually your rig sucks in many aspects. And presume about a sh1t is a bit stupid, and those who do stupid things are...? You know.

[STaRGaZeR]

So 8x/8x PCIe 2.0, same as 16x/16x PCIe 1.0 . Not bad at all considering current X2 cards are all PCIe 1.0

HAHAHAA n00b

They ever ban you for scamming on RFD?

[Craftyman.]

Before this degenerates into an even bigger storm I just want to say that I'm holding out for this board (because I hate my DS3R )

i hate the ds3r tooo thats why i didnt wait lol

[Leeghoofd]

MMM maybe I was too quick to order the Foxconn Mars... although I really like it a lot... hope to see some tests or reviews soooooooooooon

And calm down guys this is an informative thread, not a flame war who has the biggest rig, largest budget or biggest....

Let's keep it on topic !

Very noce to see 65nm in chipsets finally, look at that little thing

let me get this straigt:
X48 = 90 nm
P4x = 65 nm

or am I missing something?

does make sense as after the transition to 45 nm Intel should have a bunchload of 65 nm production capacity free (assuming that not all tools are upgraded to 45 nm)

P45 won't come to market early, most likely late Q2/early Q3, as the motherboards are still in middle R&D stage. P45 won't add any mayor gains over P35, and Foxconn Mars is hell of a board, so you done right getting Mars.

n00b has no comeback so he starts slandering.

Trying to change the subject? Fact is, you didn't know that Foxconn made parts for almost every mobo so you started dissing other members about their rigs.

good one

[FischOderAal]

gosh... solve your conflict via PN please. I want to read interesting stuff not a small war between you two.

Yes that makes sense, but chipsets are always one step behind CPUs in nm. And considering how much electricity X38/X48 eats it'd be nice that Intel shrinks it to 65nm

of course they are as customers are more likely to take a look at the TDP of their processor as at the consumption of their mainboard. plus in the past they only consumed a very small amount compared to the CPUs (well... up to X38 xD). they don't have that many transistors so it is not really necessary to use a cutting edge process.

[Morais]

Sorry for being ingenue, but what this LSI chip is supposed to do?

Anyone?

Don't forget overcloking, less nm = more OC, and you know where we are

P45 will most likely come out in June judging from past intel chipset releases.

[graysky]

June release... but maybe Oct '08 until BIOS are up-to-par... we all know never to buy the first revision of a new board.
