ASUS P5K3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP Pro Reviews

HEXUS‘s review Edit

Thinking of the value proposition, the P5K3 Deluxe is priced at around £160, or £15 more than its DDR2 counterpart. Now, thinking about it in terms of platform attractiveness, high-speed DDR2 is pervasive and, consequently, reasonably-priced. The same cannot be said for, preferably, low-latency DDR3, of any speed, right now, so sourcing appropriate modules for the board to simply function, whilst not impossible, isn't as straightforward as it should be.

AnandTech‘s review Edit

The most impressive aspect we have noticed is the ability to run 1T timings up to DDR3-1860 in dual channel mode with the Micron IC based modules. In internal testing we have noticed improvements of up to 4% in memory sensitive applications at this time. The average range being around 2% but every little bit helps when trying to maximize the performance on a $300 motherboard. Overall, we believe ASUS is taking a step in the right direction and we look forward to bringing you full test results on the DDR2 and DDR3 motherboards once the BIOS is ready for release.

The Asus P5K3 Deluxe model is the higher end of the two motherboards Asus sent us, and as you might guess from the '3' in the name, it supports DDR3 memory.

Leaving aside the question that hangs over a quad-core processor running on the current 1066MHz FSB, we were very impressed by the form, fit and function of the P5K3 Deluxe Wi-Fi AP Edition. The price is rather high but Asus supplies a long list of hardware in return so that's fair enough. Although we'd like to recommend this P35 model to hardcore gamers we feel that the sensible approach is to wait until the X38 chipset debuts, as it promises proper PCI Express support, and that's just about the only part of the equation that's missing here.

HotHardware‘s review Edit

The P5K3 Deluxe is an excellent board and a great example of what the P35 Express chipset has to offer. Although it comes at the somewhat high price of $250, the price of admission is worth it if you're looking for a fully-featured companion for your brand new 1333MHz FSB Core 2 processor and sticks of DDR3 memory, or if you are upgrading from an older chipset and enjoy the piece of mind of knowing the P35 Express will be compatible with the upcoming next generation of Intel processors.

If you're building a mainstream system, the ASUS P5K3 is an interesting choice, but high end CPUs generate too much heat.
