P5E- Deluxe Rocks!

ASUS P5E Deluxe LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5E Deluxe LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Worked great out of the box - no missing parts - replaced a Asus Striker Extreme 680i - I have yet to be let down by asus products.. I slapped my q6600 -- 8gb of mushkin 1066 ddr2 -- 4870x2 -- 2x320gb raid 0 for speed -- 1000watt tuniq ripper -- LG bluray drive -- I flashed my bios to a RAMPAGE FORMULA!! WORKS GREAT !! popped it on some crazy overclocking settings. couldnt be happier!

Cons: none at the moment

Overall Review: the reasons i upgraded from the striker extreme motherboard was for compatibility.. the striker wasnt able to hold a steady overclock with the q6600 and 8gb of 1066 ram.. so i had to switch to something newer.. the striker is a great board if your just overclocking a dual core and only have 4gb of ram.. but if your trying to double up get this board and max it out it'll take whatever you throw at it.. another thing that had me upgrade was using the 4870x2 now so it has cross fire support instead of tri - sli.

Pros: Big tube of arctic silver 5.. my local computer store sells this stuff for ten dollars per 3.5gram tube.. and those shysters probably use some before the put it out for sale.. 17 dollars for this is a great deal compared to the local stuff..

Cons: none

Overall Review: good stuff

cool

Cool Deal on a Great PSU

Tuniq Ripper PSU-RIP1000W-BK 1000 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Tuniq Ripper PSU-RIP1000W-BK 1000 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Very Nice PSU - - I blew up some 850 watts with a pair of 4870x2's with an overclocked system and decided it was time to step up to a 1kw psu... This has been a great experience with tuniq.

Cons: non so far its not a modular unit but whatever i wont have to go lookin for cables when i need to put a new part in.. :)

Overall Review: I like how when i power the system off the fan will still keep spinning until its done cooling it off completely..
