VR-Zone has scored some early pictures of the Asus P5E3 Deluxe X38 motherboard and it looks like it's going to be quite a nice board. It's got plenty of features and yet another intricate heatpipe cooling solution.

However, it does look like Asus is holding back a little bit and saving up all the really nice features for it's upcoming R.O.G. board. Still, the P5E3 Deluxe does have six rear USB ports, dual eSATA, FireWire, 7.1-channel sound with S/PDIF out and dual Gigabit Ethernet.

It's got three x16 PCI Express slots, two x1 slots and two PCI slots as well as six internal SATA connectors and a single IDE connector.

Apart from that we can't really see anything that really stands out about this board, but you can have a look at the pictures and some BIOS screenshots over at VR-Zone
