well idk about the $460 price tage LOL just got a $25 credit from newegg

so it still seem a bit much so im going to wait till wed. to see what im going to get the E8500 for sure but going to try this other place that well check if it is sSpec Number SLB9K and even batch#

I think you should wait for i7 if you want to keep on top. the maximus looks tasty though.

DOM · Oct 21, 2008

well im thinking the Maximus II Formula but it it worth the $75 over the P5Q Deluxe it does have 16-Phase power :twitch:

well time for bed, would like to order it today so all the help we'll be appreciated :toast:

DOM · Oct 22, 2008

Okay found me a E8500 E0 now the Motherboard :twitch:

sorry im a bit late but i think you should get the pq5 deluxe because of the 3 pcie slots and p45 chipset. the board is excellent for extremely high FSB OCs. it has a full feature set that not many other boards can offer.

I like the Max cuz it has to where you can take off the NB and put it on water not like the pq5 deluxe but idk :confused:

Got me a E8500 Q822A537 Pack Date 8/7/07

Fitseries3 · Oct 22, 2008

i run up to 1.7v on the NB with just a simple fan. no need to watercool the NB.

the maximus is limited to only 2 pcie slots. for some reason thats a big deal to me. thats also why i havent gotten a rampage extreme.

DOM · Oct 22, 2008

cuz wut does the max have thats it 75 bucks more the nice cooling

DOM · Oct 22, 2008

E8500 Q822A537 Pack Date 8/7/07 well be here friday

Fitseries3 · Oct 22, 2008

your killing me LOL i thought it did make much diff :rolleyes:

P5E64 WS Evolution change your mind

Fitseries3 · Oct 22, 2008

OMFG YES!!!!!!!!!

look at my new vantage scores. i'll get 28k for sure

DOM · Oct 22, 2008

but your using the GTS and 4850 ?

can you try just the 2x HD4870x2 on both mobos

cuz i got the cpu some where else so mobo still undecited

Fitseries3 · Oct 22, 2008

my score on the p45 always seemed low and i was dissapointed.

on the x48 i have the 2 4870x2s in the 16x pci-e 2.0 slots and it is alot faster. more than noticable for sure.

i could NOT run 2 4870x2s + 8800gts on the p45 because of the way the board is setup. its not the physical setup but more the electrical setup.

on the x48 it WORKS! physx runs like mad.

i think the P5E64 WS Evolution is the best board i've had yet. i LOVE asus.

Eternal · Oct 22, 2008

I agree with Fits. The P5Q- Deluxe is a beast of a board. Hence why im buying it. *I swear im not biased*

Fitseries3 · Oct 22, 2008

???????

i just said the x48 is better

He's right, the X48 is far better. I was going to go with the M2F with my new build. But my friend got the Rampage Formula in monday and i had a chance to compare it with my uncle's M2F and the X48 beats it hands down. :toast:

It overclocks better than the P45 and the performance is bar-none in gaming and in benching. We used the same Sapphire 4870 1gb Toxic in both set-ups and it made me a believer along with my uncle. He has already sent the board back and is waiting on his Rampage Formula to get here.

Fitseries3 · Oct 22, 2008

P45 has a higher FSB but x48 has the dual 16x slots for the big cards. if your using smaller cards or just a single card then get the p45 for sure but if you want crossfire performance then go with the x48

ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA OR P5E Deluxe

I know the P5E Deluxe is ASUS 3rd Generation 8 Phase Power Design by the link what about the Rampage Formula

Well it still OC the X3350 aka Q9450 more then 480fsb looking to get over 4GHz 500fsb on it on the new mobo

I know the ASUS P5Q Deluxe has ASUS True 16-Phase Power Design idk why they didnt do it on the Rampage Formula :shadedshu

why cant they make one badass motherboard

E8500 & ASUS Maximus II Formula or e8400 E0, E0 is the key here and newegg is shipping E8500 E0'S. The P45 Maximus formula is the best overclocker of the bunch.

Fitseries3 · Oct 23, 2008
