4-Way Intel P35 Motherboard Overclocking Roundup In this group test we compare the overclocking capabilities and performance of 4 motherboards based on the mid-range P35 Intel chipset. From the low cost Asus P5K, affordable Foxconn P35AP-S and MSI Platinum Combo to the expensive DFI P35 Lanparty, which one will come out on top? Find out in this article. http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=626 |
the madshrimps roundup attack on motherboard reviews, I'd be affraid if I was still writing the outdated one motherboard reviews Foxconn really works on their street cred with that board |
Owning a P5K myself, good performance considering its price, and not too overloaded with BIOS features which hardly make a difference and are too complicated to understand for people who just jumped in. Liked the article btw :) |
Can't beat the Asus P5K board in both price and performance. |
You can by overclocking ;) |
if you overclock,how will you beat the price/performance value? since FSB OCing hardly has any effect in real world applications;) |
I think it would be more noticable with a Quadcore, where the Vdrop is more important. |

but Massman, as a reviewer you'll have to look at both sides of the overclocking approach :) |
That's why the Price/Perfomance winner =/= High-end winner :D |
nope:) |
45nm support on 975X chipsets is iffy, best to check on a individual board by board basis. Some sites have run 45nm chips on 975X ASUS boards however. Interesting review! Am I correct that the ASUS P5k only has 3 vRegs? That's pitiful, no wonder there are reports that Quadcores would kill the thing. Does explain the 0.1v vdroop problem too, my own 3vReg DS3 had about that same vdroop also with a E6300. To bad Gigabyte didn't show up to the party. |
