To celebrate its 18th Anniversary, ASUS has released the 3rd Generation Black Pearl Special Edition P5K Premium motherboard. This new motherboard utilizes specially-designed technologies that provides overclocking up to 100% faster speeds in water-cooled systems; and stays 40ºC (72ºF) lower than other thermal solutions. The P5K Premium also comes equipped with built-in native DDR2 1066 memory support that can be overclocked to DDR2 1400. Additionally, it is able to provide users with stable CPU power and 30% reduced power ripples during heavy loading; while signal delivery is enhanced with low cross-talk for even faster speeds. Furthermore, it provides cooler operations, enhanced 8-channel HD Audio with built-in AI Audio 2 and a host of innovative tools and features.

LGA775 Intel® 45nm Processor Ready
This motherboard supports the latest Intel 45nm CPU which introduces new micro-architecture features for greater performance at a given frequency, up to 50% larger L2 caches, and expanded power management capabilities for new levels of energy efficiency.


LGA775 Intel® Core™2 Processor Ready
This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Core™2 processors in LGA775 package. It also can support Intel® next generation 45nm Multi-Core CPU. With new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture technology and 1333 / 1066 / 800 MHz FSB, Intel® Core™2 processor is one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world.

Intel® P35 Chipset
The Intel® P35 Express Chipset is the latest chipset designed to support the next generation 45nm CPU; and up to 8GB of dual-channel DDR2 800/667 MHz memory architecture. It also supports 1333/1066/800 FSB (Front Side Bus), PCI Express x16 graphics and multi-core CPUs.

AMD CrossFire Technology
AMD's CrossFire boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the need to scale down screen resolutions to get the high image quality you want. CrossFire ignites with the higher antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings you desire. Adjust your display configurations, experiment with your advanced 3D settings, and check the effect with a real-time 3D-rendered preview within AMD's Catalyst™ Control Center to rule your CrossFire system.

O.C. King
Meticulously Designed For Water-cooled Platforms
Enables overclocking up to 100% in water-cooled systems; and stays 40 (72H) lower than other thermal solutions. It also provides stable power delivery, 30% reduced power ripples during heaving loading and enhanced signal delivery with low cross-talk.

AI Audio 2
Enhance the Audio Experience on Your PC!
The P5K Premium comes with built-in AI Audio 2 featuring Sonic Focus Technology. Designed for the Windows Vista environment, it allows users to experience crisp, clear sounds by restoring and compensating for clarity and quality of compressed audio (up to 8 channels) in all movies, music and games. It also provides users with stereo to multi-channel sound field expansion for realistic front and rear environments and Virtualized surround sound for added vocal clarity when used in stereo speakers or headphones.

Noise Filter
Eliminate background noise while recording
This feature detects repetitive and stationary noises like computer fans, air conditioners, and other background noises then eliminates it in the incoming audio stream while recording.
