Most of the focus on the show would be on the Conroe and AM2 boards. At ASUS, the boards that will capture most attention are the P5B Deluxe boards and the AM2 board we have reviewed before hte M2N32-SLI Deluxe.

The P5B Deluxe and M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboards incorporated several innovative features.

8-Phase Power design delivers steadier power supply for the CPU by generating less heat than conventional power solutions and providing a cool computing environment for stable performance and higher overclocking margin. It reduces input ripple current and output ripple voltage, preventing the CPU and power modules from the risk of high power stress.

With AI Nap, users can instantly “relax” their PCs without terminating current tasks. System will continue to operate at minimum power and noise when users are temporarily away. It downloads files and run applications at the quietest state while users are asleep. Simply click on the mouse to wake up the system in seconds. To balance system performance and silent computing, AI Gear enables users to choose from profiles to adjust CPU frequency and vCore voltage, minimizing system noise and power consumption.

The Q-Connector allows connection or disconnection of chassis front panel cables in one easy step with one complete module. This unique adapter eliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time, making connection quick and accurate.
