Super Speed disk mode is probably the same thing as RAID 0, just that ASUS tools manage it in the easiest possible way so users don't have to mess around with advanced RAID settings.

Btw, can someone tell me what exactly is that 8 pin connector close to the CPU socket (where you plug the ATX cable). Usually there is just 4 pin connector for ATX power but here there are 8 of them (4 are closed by a cap). To use it with 2 separate ATX power rails?

That 8pin 12v power connector is to be used with a PSU that have a 8pin 12v power cable.

If you don't have it just plugin the 4pin connector that comes uncoverd.

If your power supply has 8pin atx power connector, you can use it instead of 4 pin. I found my system boot a little faster w/ 8 pin rail connected but I'm not sure if that's the reason.

Well i have one ATX power cable that can be pluged on regular IDE cable (for those PSU's that were still without ATX plug). Should i use it?

I haven't seen anything like that but I don't think that's a good idea if u already connected 4pin atx power.

In the mobo manual speaks to insert the memory in yellow slot to get a better overclock. I will put a cooler of 92mm to 38mm wide on my noctua, and I think it will pic in heatsink of my tracers. Someone already confirmed that the yellow slots are best for overclock?
thanks

I tried with both yellow and black slots and yellow slots were actually better ocing. It may not be the case for all tho.

Hi all,

At last I finished reading all the pages of this thread.

I 've been using P5Q-dlx for the past few days and I am quite happy with it.

I own a stupid Q6600/rev.B3 which isn't much, but with this board I managed
to take it up to 3.40Ghz, and for 24/7 at 3.20GHz (with only 1.325v)

Also managed to take the Reapers up to 1200MHz.

My previous set-ups were:

-- e-vga NF680 SLI + Q6600/B3, max. 2.9GHz, 1.40V

-- Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 + Q6600/B3, max. 3.0GHz, 1.40V

My idle temps are 35C with Real Temp - load at 54-55C with OCCT.

Not finished yet ...


Also Asus removed the 1003 bios from the P5Q dlx website!!

Nobody more?
