Apparently the E isnt supposed to be the best P5Q board, and it has bad port placement.

Ketxxx always says not to get it. I very nearly did, but got the Deluxe in the end.

And how can you sell the P5K for that? Its not worth that much, especially as it has a histroy of being faulty.

kylzer · May 13, 2009

Most P5Q boards will do 500.

Ketxxx · May 13, 2009

Don't get the P5Q-E. One of its bigger problems is with LLC, everything I have ever heard with LLC and the P5Q-E, either it doesn't work right or at all. Get the P5Q Pro or Deluxe.

waddya mean
It's working fine on my -E

I dont see the problem with the -E,bad port placement,were? and llc works fine on mine too.I think its worth the extra over the -pro.It has dual giga lan which i found very useful,and better vreg cooling.

Thats just what I had been told, but looking at the PCB layout I cant fathom that statement either :slap:

lol

Fair enuff there is one sata port that is unusable with a long gfx card,but thats not so bad considering it has 7 useable ones.I did'nt like the look of the -pro,i thought it looked cheap.

I think they all have that problem but I have overcome that on my deluxe with one of the included 90* SATA cables

same here a 90° sata cable fixed the problem :toast:

and also the eSATA comes in nicely over the pro

Deleted member 24505 · May 13, 2009

I always spend upto my budget,i never look at the cheaper option.

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

My budget is a bit fluid :eek:

I'll wait if I have to. My actual reasons at the time for the Deluxe, where the SB heatpipe, 16 phase VRM, and Express Gate SSD. Now the only thing I really like about it over the cheaper options is the audio codec, lol.

Dice · May 13, 2009

Mines good, never used the E bit though-left it in the box.

On very few -E boards LLC does work, but 99% of people I talked to with the -E LLC doesn't work properly or at all. Best to avoid a potential problem rather than taking a punt IMO.

don't the deluxe and the -e have the same audio codec

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

Not afaik.

I have an ADI AD2000B SoundMAX BlackHawk, u?

(^Same as on the Supreme FX)

EDIT:

Just looked it up and you have the same.

The E uses EXACTLY the same PCB as the Deluxe, all you have missing is the Express Gate SSD (although the connection and outline is present), and SB heatpipe.

So in theory, the E should perform no less than the Deluxe.

Deleted member 24505 · May 13, 2009

I would have got the -dlx,but could'nt quite stretch my budget to it at the time.I've been very happy with my choice though.

Scrizz · May 13, 2009

same here
my next mobo is gonna be a giga though

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

Hey, after looking at the P5Q-E download page, Asus has released a load of Win 7 drivers!

Chipset and Audio! :rockout:

Nothing yet on Deluxe page tho

Also some new BIOses, keep an eye on the second post

Deleted member 24505 · May 13, 2009

Thanks alex,i just grabbed the Win7 chipset and audio drivers for my board

Btw,how good is the adi2000b onboard sound?

Thats why. Asus may of fixed the issue with a BIOS update, but the LLC issue isn't the only thing people complain about on the -E, something about misreading sensors as well, hence why its best to get the Pro or Deluxe.

alexp999 · May 13, 2009

But Ket, the E uses the same PCb and components. The only thing missing is the Express gate and SB heatpipe.

So provided BIOS is ok, they are no different.

My Deluxe had misreading sensors till this Jan too.

LLC is line load corrector or something, i have an e but due to exams i cant touch it yet

Ketxxx · May 13, 2009

Their not 100% the same boards, some things are missing on the -E, and depending on how those components are all tied into the PCB, it can cause minor bugs elsewhere when said components are removed.

LLC = Load Line Calibration

have any bioses for e?
