I have had both a deluxe and the p5q-e and I have not been able to tell the difference.

the p5q series is fantastic VFM
choose a board thats featureset best suits your needs

i went for the p5q-e and have to say - its the best motherboard i have had
and i have spent more on worse setups!

isnt much although would think the dlx 16 phase regs would help high FSB Quad clocking

I suppose it would but my cpu is to crappy to go over 3.6ghz

Had this board some time now and it went faulty! got another one??? running Q8200 @2.81Ghz and 1066 memory @ 1100hz temps at about 49c with a half decent cooler. any sugestions on a BETTER cooler so i can clock it up to or over 3.0Ghz???
P.S. what stable voltage has any body had with similar hardware?

What cooler have you got at the moment?

I've heard good things about this one + a fan, the Noctua is also supposed to be good, but is a bit more pricy.

bluemax · 18 Mar 2009 at 21:34

cooler type is a slyphee.

kerrgreg · 18 Mar 2009 at 22:05

the ninja's are good to depending on your case

bluemax · 18 Mar 2009 at 22:35
