"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[TouGe]

Hey all.

I am looking at picking up this board to replace my current Asus P5K Deluxe which is a complete POS. Can't even run RAID config on it using Vista, as it just dies during install. It's fine when using an array controller but I moved that to my server thinking onboard RAID will work fine with Vista... wrong.

Anyway enough of that. Is this a STABLE board without any overclocking? I'll be using:

Q6600
OCZ Platinum 2x2GB
2x320 GB SATAII Seagates (7200.10)
Onboard RAID 1
ATI X850XT Platinum

I just want a stable workstation board without the headaches this P5K has caused me. I don't overclock.

Thanks

It has to be one of the most stable boards I have ever owned, of course, I thought the P5K-D board was pretty solid as well.

Thanks, are you running it RAID with Vista?

Yorkfield/Wolfdale have better memory write and copy than Kentsfield/Conroe.

Nothing wrong with your system BeastNotro

Thks ... as that would make better sense i was talking to a buddy who has a Q9450 and he stated the samething it has to be the 45nm vs 65nm and tommorow i hope my E8600 will arrive and we shall 100% be positive at higher GHZ....

hey guys...I have a newbie question about Crossfire...
Just my CFX setup in P5Q-D not working
I bought 2x HD 4850 and try to setup a CFX
However I can't find any CFX related options in this board's BIOS
Is it will automatically detect and attempt to use CFX mode?
I've tried all available drivers and CCC versions and none of them work:
There are no CFX options...it just disappeared.
Two graphic cards are detected and function normally in device manager (and they both work in single card)
but only one card's DVI slot can show display screen...
If I change the display adapter mode from [PEG/PCI] to [PCI/PEG] it just switch the primary adapter to the PCI_16_2 black one...I'm confused..
Please help ; ;

BTW: Those cards didn't come with a CF interconnect bridge cable. I just bought it from other people who have ATI cards with that cable but not consider to setup CFX so they sell the cable to me...I don't know if older version cables with this card will have capability issues...anyone have any clues? Please...
