Sorry if this has been already asked, but does anyone know the difference between these 3? On paper their specs look almost identical and according to pricing it goes;

Deluxe > Evo > Pro

With deluxe being the most expensive.

I was going to get the Evo, so what does the Deluxe have the other don't that would warrant getting over the Evo or Pro model? :confused:

Thanks!
 
it seems that the deluxe is the only one that has Dual Gigabit Ethernet .
and has 2 eSata connections.
also a usb3.0 front panel.
 
Deluxe has a better audio chipset and 16 phase power compared to 12 phase on evo and Pro. Evo and Deluxe have additional cooling compared to the Pro.

Btw the Pro has a bracket for USB 3 just not the 3.5" front bay panel.
 
Thanks for the post Ken, judging from the SPEC table image, the only difference between the Deluxe and Evo is that the Deluxe uses 16+2 power as opposed to 12+2 on the Evo :confused: not too interested about the 3.5 usb 3 bay, so is the evo should be fine right? :)
 
I'll be opting for the Pro myself as I don't need 2 LAN ports. The fact the P8P67 clocks the same as the Deluxe version has convinced me to go with the Pro which has the perfect balance of features and price for me although if the Sabertooth P67 or EVGA P67 surfaces soon I may look into buying one of those instead. :cool:
 
the cheaper ones have only 1x 16lane pci slot, other(s) are 4x

was hoping i could get my dad a two decent pci-e slot one for 130 or less :\
 
From what i can find on the ASUS website, the differences between the Evo and Deluxe are that the Evo has a lower spec audio chip, the ALC889 in the Deluxe vs the ALC892 in the Evo. A different firewire chip the VIA 6315N in the Deluxe vs the VIA 6308P in the Evo. The second network interface is different, the Deluxe uses the Realtek 8111E vs the Realtek 8110SC in the Evo. The difference between these two seems to be that the one in the Evo uses the PCI interface vs the PCIe interface in the Deluxe, I could be wrong however. The Deluxe comes with an extra fan port compared to the Evo, it also comes with a 'Front Panel USB 3.0 Box' instead of a 'USB 3.0 Bracket'. The Deluxe also has one less header on the motherboard for USB 2.0 however it comes with two extra ports on the rear IO. Also on the Evo's page on ASUS.com there is a message on the expansion slots part stating, '*The PCIe x16_3 slot shares bandwith with the PCIe x1_1 slot, PCIe x1_2 slot, ESATA3G & PESATA3G and USB3_34. The PCIe x16_3 runs at x1 mode by default for system resource optimization. (PCIe x1_2 will be disabled.)'
This message is not on the Deluxe's page however. This may however just be a type error, or it may have a different layout/chip?

... :D

Edit: Oh and of course the 16+2 phase of the Deluxe vs the 12+2 phase of the Evo :o:p

Click to expand...

think this is because the deluxe uses a plx chip which doent use the lanes of the PCIe x1_1 slot + PCIe x1_2 slot when using sataIII or usb3.0
