P5WD2-E Prem R1.03G

[Lestat]

has anyone confirmed or denied that the 1.03G is or is not Conroe compliant ?

i just grabbed a E6600 from andre and have a Rev 1.03g on the way from my usual sources :)

i wont even mount that cpu if its not compliant as i dont want to smoke the cpu from some surge of overvolt or something like that.

It has been confirmed although not with anything too official from asus. Look for a p5wd2-e with 8 phase power. like this:

[Lestat]

thanks man i appreciate it.
hope they got the FSB limitations worked out too

[Kesnel]

I'm looking forward to seeing how this board treats you, particularly in the max fsb. Keep us posted on the results. :)

[vapb400]

me too! when will you have the board?

[Lestat]

i should have the board probably Wed. possibly tommorrow
me and Andre are only a few states apart according to his profile so i should have the cpu wed. or thursday depending on how he ships.

im getting all squooshy about this!

[vapb400]

sweet, cant wait to see the results

[Lestat]

:banana::banana::banana::banana:e! andre says the 1.03g are NOT conroe compliant.

oh well im gunna have to wait and see.

[^don.k's^]

[Mr. Popo]

My mean ""1.03G is not coming now.""


P5WDG2-WS Pro and P5WD2-E 1.03G support Conroe, but they are in the market after July 20.

[Lestat]

thanks for clarifying andre. i misunderstood what you said.

sorry bout that fellas

[ScottFern]

Man, whats with all these awesome boards with late release dates! Frustrating.

[Lestat]

its not late considering the conroe isnt released for another month

and let them keep working on them. ESPECIALLY asus. one thing they arent known for is making boards right the first time.

[Eastcoasthandle]

I wouldn't get to excited just yet. My old board was damaged and had to buy a new one and its still 1.02G. This is the new batch that just came from California too.
So I guess the July 20 date maybe right.+
What's funny is that I sent my 8 pin psu for repair so I am using my 4 pin 12V PC Power and Cooling and now I can't do 300 FSB any more. I guess you need that 8pin 12 volt of power to go beyond 300 FSB using x14 multi...

Yours should come with the 501 bios update like mine...

Huh?
I know of no way of doing this. You have to look at the mb itself unless there is something I don't know about...

[Cpt Twitchy]

I am really looking forwar to you results with this board, especially consiering the p5w series is the king of intel. If you would be willing I would like to know if you could give us full system specs and what bench's you plan on running.

Thank You
Tim

P5WD2-E Rev 1.03g just has 3 pcie's (2x16x + 1x4x) actual rev 1.02g has 4pcie's ( 2x16x+1x+4x ), this should be in the specs in somewhere in the mobo box or shop catalog...

BTW thanks to god it was a misunderstood, i was going crazy :p: too bad it wont hit the street till 20th july :(

[Lestat]

they need to stop making so many pci-e slots the only thing that even uses it is the video cards.
seriously though its a waste of space and hampers the use of other pci devices.

[Lestat]

just got word, the board will be here tommorrow.

and the chip arrived today.
thank you Andre!

[^don.k's^]

Waiting for some good review on that board, id really want to know... :D
