Networks has published a new review on the Asus P5K3-Deluxe/WiFi-AP P35
motherboard:
To conclude, my opinion is generally the same with Asus P5K3-Deluxe's DDR2
variant -- the Asus P5K-Deluxe. I was very impressed by the Asus P5K-Deluxe, and
the Asus P5K3-Deluxe continues this trend for rock solid stability and
performance. For the price it comes in, you will get a fully loaded -- but not
bloated -- quality motherboard with all solid capacitors you'd expect from Asus.
I would have loved to say that the P5K3-Deluxe is perfect -- I know I have said
the exact same thing with its DDR2 brother. As with every product, with the Asus
P5K3-Deluxe at no exception, there's room for improvement. When it comes to
layout, RAM slots are quite close to the first PCIe x16 slot and may prevent
easy removal of RAM due to clip clearing, as well as a potential to interfere
with longer PCIe x1 cards. Long graphics card will also block out some SATA
ports. The JMicron controlled PATA connector is also placed oddly, but if you
are an SATA optical drive user it probably won't matter to you.
On the positive side, there's a lot to compliment on this motherboard. Excellent
overclocking, just like the Asus P5K-Deluxe -- 3.36GHz on my E6300 means an
incredible 81.6% clock increase with 480MHz (1920MHz QDR) FSB, and 3.44GHz
(430MHz*8) on our Intel Core 2 Duo E6600. With fast DDR3 RAM, pretty much
nothing besides the processor itself is going to limit the overclock. Plus, no
overheating northbridge -- the extra heatpipes perform better than the
P5K-Deluxe too -- it remains stable at an acceptable temperature with minimal
airflow. Stable and solid motherboard; passed my Orthos stress testing without
issues and never had any odd problems. Very generous amount of connectors
located at the back panel I/O -- nice to see more USB ports, and the
implementation of dual eSATA.
