The Intel P45 platform represents the new era for motherboard designers, passing to the 65nm manufacturing process and arming the board with many new features and of course better performance. Recently we had tested the Gigabyte P45 motherboard and the first impressions with the chipset were encouraging.

Today we have in our hands Asus's implementation of the P45 chip, the high-end P5Q Deluxe model.

- Asus P5Q Deluxe

The Asus P5Q Deluxe comes armed with all the experience Asus had gained the Taiwanese company promotes it as a motherboard that will be your next best friend. Looking at the specs quickly, we can see that this motherboard has a true 16-phase Power Design, a new EPU-6 engine and of course the Express Gate feature.

Asus keeps using 100% High-quality Japan-made Conductive Polymer Capacitors (5000hrs VRM) providing stable operation and long life. Last but not certainly not least, the motherboard supports VRD11.1 CPUs with backward support VRD10.X models of course.

ASUS True 16-Phase Power Design

The technology of 16-phase VRM design is brought to the ASUS motherboards. 16-phase power design can reach the power efficiency up to 96%+, and dispel heat generated by VRM module effectively, lowering more temperature compared to other VRM solution. With the high quality power components such as low RDS (on) MOSFETs, Ferrite core chokes with lower hysteresis loss and 100% Japan-made high quality conductive polymer capacitors, ASUS 16-phase VRM design also ensure longer component life, minimum power loss, and help to reach higher overclocking scores.


Best Quality Power Components
100% High-quality Japan-made Conductive Polymer Capacitors!(5000 hrs VRM). Low RDS (on) MOSFETs with min. switching loss & lower temperature, Ferrite Core chokes with lower hysteresis loss, and 100% Japan-made high quality, long life conductive polymer capacitors.


ASUS EPU-6 Engine

The new ASUS EPU power saving engine has been upgraded to a new 6 engine version, which provides total system power savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes the CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives and CPU cooler/system fans), the EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via intelligent acceleration and overclocking.

ASUS Express Gate SSD
A unique motherboard built-in OS, Express gate, takes only 5 seconds to go online from bootup. You can utilize the most popular Instant Messengers (IM) like MSN, Skype, Google talk, QQ, and Yahoo! Messenger to keep in touch with friends, or quickly check on the weather and e-mails just before leaving your house. What´s more, the user-friendly picture manager lets you view your pictures without entering Windows at anytime.

Dual-Channel DDR2 1200
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates of 1200/1066/800/667 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operation system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks when bandwidth peaks at 19.2GB/s.
