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.

Awesome
- Pros: Has all kinds of features. There is apparently 8GB (SSD) of storage on the board. I went to install Vista, and I have have one 250 GB HD, but Vista detected another physical 8 GB drive. After installing all drivers from the ASUS DVD, the 8 GB drive disappeared in Vista, but I can still see it in Linux. I believe it may be for Express Gate, but not sure why it would need so much, it would be nice to use that space, I guess I could uninstall drivers, hmm maybe not.
- Cons: None. I couldn't wait till Nehalem b/c my laptop is on the fritz. The MB Didn't set the memory speed to DDR2-800 (I have Corsair DHX DDR2-800 4-4-4-12, 2.1V). Likewise I had to set memory timings and voltage, but not a con because it's Corsair that set the SPD to 5-5-5-18, 1.8V. There is one SATA port that could be blocked. I haven't tested enough, but my 8800 GTS may block one. I think I can squeeze a right angle SATA cable in there though.
- Other Thoughts: Be sure to use the bottom ethernet port. It is the better of the two. Sure they are both "gigabit" but the top is bandwidth limited because it uses PCI whereas the bottom lan uses PCI-E.
Also if using Vista only, enable AHCI in the bios. You will need to make a boot floppy if you want AHCI in XP. AHCI provides better performance for SATA drives.
The Silicon Image chip, if you use in "Standard Mode" (or whatever) will only enable 1 of the 2 SATA ports on the SIL controller. FYI check out the reviews on the board, the SIL chip's RAID performance is not nearly as good as the ICH10R's.
I wanted the P5Q-E, but was impatient, it has a few less goodies. Beware the P5Q and Pro are cheaper but the Ethernet controller with them aren't as good, neither is the sound chip, and I believe they have a different audio chip as well.
Express Gate is cool, they should add features like overclocking and bios flashing. Again just g00gle a review on this board, its great, but I can't think what else to w
Got mine!
- Pros: Got mine yesterday and installed it last night. NewEgg delivered a day early! Still waiting for my DVD drive to deliver so I can install Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Ran 20 passes of Memtest during the night with no failures. This board runs very cool...34C after all that!
Expressgate is kinda cool with the 5 second boot and builtin Linux desktop but sort of a novelity.
Fits my Zalman CNPS9700 fine.
- Cons: Tough to use SATA #6 because it's almost under my 8800GT graphics card.
- Other Thoughts: Asus P5Q Deluxe, EVGA 8800GT Superclocked, Antec P180, Intel E8400, OCZ Platinum 4x2GB, Zalman CNPS9700, Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 750GB, Samsung SH-S203N DVD, Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

solid mobo
- Pros: Plenty of connectors, VERY well laid out design (other than the SATA) and excellent cooling. Bios is replete with overclocking options, if you wish to go in that direction.
- Cons: Marvel RAID controller is flimsy - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE WITH LOCKING SATA CABLES! Not only did the top of the plug break off upon insertion of said cable, but the internal broke off when I removed it. I would RMA it, but can't until I finish my backup sys.
- Other Thoughts: If you are going to use the 'back' SATA ports (Marvel + 2 ICH10R), I would suggest inserting cables before you install the mobo. Only 4 SATA ports are vertical, which is a huge disappointment but clearly visible in pictures.
Poor Customer Service
- Pros: As far Newegg concerned you get 5 eggs. The motherboard arrived fast. The mother board has a bundle of features I probably will never use but I could not pass up the terrific mark down deal with an additional rebate & free shipping. The layout connections are superb supporting great cable management.. The board worked. AOA (Alive on Arrival)
- Cons: ASUS on the other hand gets 3 eggs because of poor understanding in the English language with their tech support. I had a tech issue that needed resolved with a bad connection I had. It turned out being my fault but the point is I wish ASUS would use American people who speak understandable good English. If I did not find my own mistake in this situation I was about to needlessly return the board to ASUS. if it was a real problem regardless I would of never resolved anything with the joker I got on the other end. Absolutely Horrible English..Horrible!
- Other Thoughts: This is a higher end board and my best build ever. Just be sure you pay extreme attention to detail with your USB connections if your chassis or (case) front panel USB connectors are individually separated like mine. The same goes to all connectors actually. When you hook up wrong like I did the motherboard would not boot up to bios. So take note of that novice builders. Your newer cases available mostly are now equipped with one plug connectors which you then avoid the mishap I mentioned entirely so it is getting better for us newbies.
Flakey board
- Pros: Worked fine for about 14 months
- Cons: Started flaking out, came up with the blue screen of death, no new hardware installed, nothing that I could associate with the onset of the BSOD
Reseated all of the connectors, replaced the RAM, still flaked out.
- Other Thoughts: Sent back to ASUS they said there was no problem with the board. I replaced the board with a different board and haven't had a problem since.

Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer, We apologize for this inconvenience. Please contact us at OC_Support@asus.com and reference case number NE110. Please include your system configuration. If need be, you can send the board in directly to my attention for RMA. Best Regards, ASUS Support Team
