Asus P5K P35 Socket 775 Motherboard
Results - Super PI & HDTach
Published: 4th June 2007 | Source: Asus | Price: |
SuperPI is the benchmark of choice for many overclockers. It's lightweight to download and can give a quick indication on how good a system is at number crunching.
Yet again we can see that the P5B pulls ahead of the P5K. In the 1m SuperPI test, the difference is hardly noticable and could easily be dismissed. However, in the 32m benchmark, the P5K falls behind by just under 40 seconds - quite a big difference as far as SuperPI results are concerned.
HD Tach
HDTach is a free hard disk benchmarking program from SimpliSoftware. This benchmark is not only capable of producing results on hard disk access times but also CPU usage required during disk access.

As previously seen on the Sisoft Sandra disk performance results, the P5K and P5B are pretty much head-to-head in performance despite the P5K having a newer southbridge (ICH9R vs ICH8R). HD Tach does show a small difference in Burst Speed, but nothing to call home about.

If not P965 tbh
EDIT: Am I right in saying 680i supports the new Intel CPU's? If so I'll have an IN9

However, if you're thinking of going 45nm, then it's got to be P35. Just beware that afaik the P5K isn't 100% guaranteed to support Penryn when it comes out - much the same situation as the early Asus boards that supported Conroe....but didn't.
great review, love the little bit of overclocking done to a good-ish CPU too.
as i have just purchased one of these, i intend on posting my results too.
however, i think if you (like me) are moving to c2d for the first time, or are just making a new build with some amount of overclocking in mind, then the p5k dlx is just for you.
i think especially with current ddr2 prices, that it would be silly to move upto ddr3 so soon (remember how ddr2 rolled out, ddr1 was still king for many months until faster and tighter ddr2 came out) as you can probably buy 8gb of decent ddr2 for the same price (obviously for 4x2gb kits) as a single 1gb or 2gb kit of ddr3.
just my 2p worth...
