All of the Asus P5K series motherboards support Super Memspeed Technology – a technology that provides good performance regardless of different DRAM specifications and overclocking margins. They break through current FSB and DRAM ratio proportions with full support of native DDR3 1333 to match CAS Latency from 7 to 10. The motherboards also natively support DDR3 1333 memory. With better overclocking options, the P5K3 Deluxe is thus able to overclock up to 2032MHz for DDR3 memory – an enhancement of up to 90.6%, while the P5K Deluxe is able to reach 1400MHz for DDR2 memory.

Asus’s AI Slot Detector lets users know if their PCIe/PCI devices are properly inserted into the slots while they are installed. By just plugging in the power cable; even without switching on the PC or entering the operating system, Asus’s innovative on-board LEDs provide a way to identify the correct way to set up the PC.

AI Gear2 allows users to choose from four profiles (Maximum Performance, High Performance, Medium Performance and Max Power Saving) to adjust CPU frequency and vCore voltage to minimize system noise and power consumption. For example, users can change the mode in real-time in the operating system to max power saving mode and thus save up to 50% CPU power when using word processing applications.
