Abstract: Assembling a PC thats easy on energy consumption requires components that would do the same and the P5Q Pro motherboard is one such component. It comes with an Energy Processing Unit, which makes the machine use power in an efficient and judicial way...
Slower memory performance, No switches on motherboard.
The ASUS P5Q Pro is a decent performer, though we had expected it to do more; it may have been due to our higher expectations developed over the years from a brand like ASUS. The memory benchmarks were lower than even the ECS P45T-A. Also, the motherb...

Excellent price, CrossFire x8/x8 support, 45nm and FSB1333/1600 CPU support, Lots of connectivity options, Capable BIOS, Great overclocking potential, Solid voltage regulation
Some SATA ports blocked when using dualslot graphics cards in CrossFire mode, AUTO voltage settings should be lowered, Chipsets run fairly hot, Questionable floppy & IDE connector placement
Once again, ASUS has delivered an exceedingly competent product at a price that almost seems too good to be true. The P5Q PRO enters the mainstream market packed to the gills with great features such as dual mechanical PCI-E x16 (8x electrical) 2.0 slo...
