£160 is the stickup price for a P5Q Premium.

ED- SNAP!

Wow, what does £40 give you over a deluxe then? One PCI-E slot that you probably will never use? I wont use the third on mine, and I probably wont even use the second one (although I was originally going to when I bought it but, hey-ho, lol!)

It gives you 4x giga lan,for some reason.

£40 extra was vs. the Deluxe

for £80 extra vs. a Pro with my mBIOS the Premium gives you;

- Prettier packaging
- A PCIE slot you will never use
- Fancier looking heatpipe system thats actually more impractical than it is practical
- SSD Express Gate?

Worth £80 more over the Pro? You decide

Seems like have Asus have gone quad crazy on the premium!

quad lan (why? I wont ever use dual lan!)
quad raid (Once I get my new HDD i wont even be using raid!)
quad PCI-E (I'm probably only going to ever use one PCI-E slot, lol!)

But we all choose our mobos for different reasons, hence all the different models. But IMO all that quad stuff is just silly. Who would need all that!

TBH, nobody. Only those who think they will get respect because they went and bought a shitload of expensive hardware, then leave it all stock :rolleyes:

Even if they do OC it all to the max I still dont like *THOSE* types of people as their just doing it to be "look at all the expensive shit I have" and brag about it more or less in every post they make, and\or they do it for the whole "look at my epenis"

Did u answer tigger on how you mod bioses? I'd like to know too (sorry if I missed it.)

How hard is bios modding then? do you need to know some sort of programming language?

EDIT: epenis, lmao! :roll:

Ketxxx · Jul 22, 2008

To BIOS mod, for the more complex things, you do at least need to posess some Hex editing skills. If your fortunate though and happen to buy a "lower grade" mobo from a series of mobos, usually no Hexing is required. Just rip the BIOSes apart, take what you want, dump it into a BIOS made for your board, VIOLA! you got a mobo that has equal OC abilities (and possibly better) than a board thats twice the price.

How do you "rip" the bios apart? Do you have special dev tools? to put the bios in a more meaning full sense than just numbers and letters and symbols?

Ketxxx · Jul 22, 2008

Yup. I have lots of BIOS tools, but not as many as the devs naturally have. If I did, you can bet my mBIOS releases wouldnt just be better than the official releases, they would absolutely crush, demolish, kill and destroy the official releases

Be very careful if anyone reading this decides to give BIOS modding a go, you can bork it up very easily.

500fsb P45 ftw :rockout:

I think i will leave the bios modding to someone who knows what they are doing.

lol same. I'd like to see what a BIOS "looks" like in its non jiberish form tho.

Ketxxx · Jul 22, 2008

An AWARD BIOS looks like this;

And a AMI BIOS looks like this;

It's like anything, once you have an idea what your doing things get much easier, but you still have to be careful you dont bork the BIOS. My latest mBIOS for the P5Q Pro works like a dream, but for some reason AMIBCP cant open it in its modified state :wtf:
