"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[Leeghoofd]

Is anyone running this board with only Samsung F1 drives?

I had 4 die on me from which 2 connected to the P5Q Dlx ( all same manufacture date ) and will never ever buy these again... sequential read errors, freeze probs and corrupt MBR's...reminds me of the bad IBM batches a few decades back It could be one of ya hard drives acting up... Are they the terrabyte variant ?

a capacitor comes in contact with the right side of the heatpipe of this cooler.
What would be your suggestion for a passive cooler solution on the southbridge of a P5Q Deluxe? Did somebody try a Zalman NB-47J on this mobo?

Can't you orientate it to a different angle ?

nope system crashed

You cannot set subtimings from another person mate, each ram kit, mobo is different...

I'm building a P5Q Deluxe system now with the TRUE Black heatsink.. Noticed that if I orientate the heatsink such that the fan attached on the heatsink blows towards the rear exhaust, the edge of the heatsink comes in contact with the northbridge heatsink.

Can you take a picture of that issue, I had the normal Ultra 120 and the eXtreme on my mobo without an issue... there was enough clearance
