Asus has long had a solid reputation within the overclocking community, and their P5Q Deluxe motherboard continues to build on that. Based on Intel's P45 Express and ICH10R chipsets, this ATX board is ready to host the latest LGA775 Core2 quad-core processors along with Core 2 Duo, Pentium D and Celeron CPUs.
Up to 8GB of DDR2 1200 RAM can be installed for increased performance. A pair of PCI-Express 2.0 x16 cards can be mounted for cutting-edge graphic power with support for CrossFireX. 100% all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors give longer life and higher energy efficiency by supplying power to vital components independently.
Get eight channels of HD sound with Asus's AI Audio 2 technology for true-to-life high quality audio. Connect up to eight SATA drives at 3Gb/s for high-speed data transfers as well as the option for multiple RAID configurations. Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN allows bottleneck-free connections to other network devices at broadband speeds and a half-dozen USB 2.0 ports allows for nearly unlimited possibilities in connecting peripheral devices.
Pros: Nice board, great non-buggy chipset. Express Gate is really cool and potentially a very useful feature, and it worked flawlessly for me the first time I tried it. Setting up my PPPoE connection for internet access was a breeze. Overclocking is a great with this board; there are a gazillion settings you can play with in the BIOS. No RAM compatibility problems at all so far, like some ASUS motherboards.
Cons: The version of Express Gate that comes installed on this mobo doesn't have the music (MP3) player. It has a photo viewer, Firefox web browser, and some other stuff. Don't know if Asus plans on including the MP3 player in future updates. The firm that produces Express Gate makes a version with an MP3 player, but Asus doesn't include it. I would really like to see that included someday.
Other Thoughts: Bought this mobo to replace an Asus P5E that I had nothing but trouble with. I didn't return the P5E to Newegg because the return period was up. Scavenged the P5E for parts, and discovered that the cool looking copper heatsinks on the P5E are actually copper-plated aluminum. Stay away from the P5E. Get the P5Q instead.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice, clean board. Chipset runs very cool with only passive cooling. And, the Noctua NH-U12P cooler fits it perfectly.
Cons: UPS didn't make the delivery till this past Monday :(
Other Thoughts: Only tried one overclock point, but that worked well (3.6Ghz, 1600Mhz FSB, DDR2 ~1200).

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This board installed great. Plugged in the two video cards and the 3 hard drives, and it booted right up.
Cons: Memory only runs at 800 mhz (but it's 1200 mhz G-Skill memory!)
Other Thoughts: After running this system for a few months, I noticed during the POST that the memory was only reporting at 800 mHz. I have G'Skill Ripjaws 1200 mHz strips with an Intel E8500 (3.16 gHz) CPU.
With Asus techs, we tried to tweak it to run at 1200 mHz. After several different variations of settings, we could not get the system to a stable boot unless all the settings are "auto."
I just received a note from the Asus engineers that this board DOES NOT support 1200 mHz memory natively. I re-read the specs on this board, and it sure makes it sound like it should. And I've read the reviews by others that get the board to overclock.
I'm very disappointed with the performance. I should have either opted for cheaper RAM or a better board. But, if you can't trust the specs .....

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Just an FYI, i bought an open box but what i really got was an OEM brown box. i didn't really mind since i know it's factory certified or refurb'd. Either way, it looked new. For one benjamin it was a heck of a deal.
Cons: NOTHING but the board, not even an I/O shield.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: really nice & stable board that runs nice n cool. overclocked my e3110 to 4Ghz with just a few voltage adjustments. I got this board to give my s775 platform some extended life since i don't want to spend a lot of $ to get on an i7 and to also get off the nvidia crapsets. I'm so happy i did. NB runs so cool i'm amazed.
Cons: double posts from a cold boot but that's not a big deal to me. a bit finiky getting the drivers installed in XP but i got through it.
