A Closer Look At The ASUS P5Q-E Motherboard Pt1

Test System used: Q9450, Patriot DDR2 1200 2GB, Nvidia 8800GT, cm 690, Antec True Power Trio 650. More videos coming soon about this motherboard including, benchmarks, bios options, overclocking, asus express gate, 6 engine EPU, and more. Just need some time to test everything.
A few pictures of the board can be seen here:

What was that at 9:19? Thanks for the review, im really considering this or a EVGA 750i FTW.

[KandAshow]

It was the attack of the retards. Yeah I love this board, I got this board because I wanted to run some of ati's new 4 series cars in crossfire on it. If I was going to have nvidia cards I would probably got the 750i. You wont be disappointed with this board. Its very stable for overclocking too. I have my q9450 at 3.7ghz With voltages on auto and on air. Temps don't exceed 40c EVER

The "thing" u r refering to as the EPU - unit is the southbridges chipset. the EPU is actually the small chip between the cpu socket and the dimms. No need to put an extra heatsink on the soutbrdge(ICH10R) because it does not generate that much heat.

[KandAshow]

Dude c'mon are you a retard. I take it you didn't watch the whole video because I was joking about the tuniq tower on the epu unit. And where I placed the "extra heatsink" is the epu unit. The small chip that is not between the cpu and the dimms but rather under the cpu is the northbridge. Get the facts straight.

lmfaoo u got me with the heatsink thing...

[KandAshow]

haha, I bet you were not the only.

[swizzlord]

9800GTX+

550W CM PSU

HAF 922

I will get the V8 on January 10.. I wanted someone to tell me how does it fit on the P5Q E and what speeds and temps do you have.. could you PM me with that?

[dacasman]

ahhh, you tricked me =D

[dacasman]

dude, is that necessary?

[tommy8ball]

I would like to know more about this problem because I have a gtx280 and I'm thinking of getting this board.

[Bob8673]

how can your card touch those?

[NolanHunter18]

hey I'm curious if you ran into the same problem i did with the p5q-e board. when i install my nvidia gtx 260 core 216 video card , it hits those 2 capacitors near the blue pci-e 2.0 slot. did you run into that issue ? mine works but i feel uncomfortable with the fact that its only like 98% in the slot. not much i can do about it. plus im' pretty sure if i put it in the lower black slot it will only run at x8 instead of x16.

I have the same mobo yesterday i managed to recover from a bad bios update using the backup bios chip of the mobo. 4:15 of the clip shows the two bios chips on this mobo at the left of the power button. Look for diehard bios howto in the asus support site if needed.

Ma xkè ce dovete pijà x il culo? @ 10:24...Italians don't talk like S.Mario...

BTW...cool cooler system!
