The P5Q Deluxe has all the important BIOS settings for achieving a top overclock, with a broad enough range of voltages to please the majority of fanatics. A CPU core limit of 2.10 volts for example isn’t as high as that of the Maximus II Formula, but it’s still enough to fry most cores. Asus requires a jumper change to remove a 1.70 volt core limit, and for good reason.
The AI Tweaker menu begins with Asus’ familiar “Ai Overclock Tuner” automatic overclock setting, followed by manual controls for bus speeds, memory ratios and timings.
Several advanced memory timings can also be adjusted, but most users will get the best results by simply choosing “Auto”.
All of the most important voltage levels are adjustable, but unlike the Maximus II Formula, the P5Q Deluxe can only adjust GTL Reference Voltage in pairs.
A complete set of BIOS values can be stored as a user profile, making it easy to restore everything to a previous value should an experimental overclock force a BIOS reset. Profiles can also be exported to a USB flash drive.

Wait, i think i missed the conclusion... what was the conclusion.....or am i just silly !?
Great review any who, i have been waiting for one of these. I would say go for the P5Q Deluxe!!!!!!!!11
the old E6xx CPU is not good enough to explore the FSB of the new P45 chipset. i seen better review then this in term of hardware. there should be at least a dual core 45nm processor and a 45nm quad processor.
sigh....tom's been lazy with hardware update!
I assume it is a mistake that says the P45 platinum from MSI has an X48 chipset?
so waht about a decent conclusion something like, are these boarfds worth the extra cash over a P35 chipset variant, everything tells me they offer little incentive over the P35, thoughts anyone?
Hello?
Uhm .. 45nm!?
I agree, test with a better (new) CPU(s) 45nm Dual/Quad.
That would be really interesting. This probably means alot to someone that owns the E6xx series CPU which i doubt someone buy if they buy a P45 board.
Methinks Tom has a bit of biassed attitude favouring Asus tbh
