Asus P5B-PLUS

[cyberspyder]

I never thought that the Asus P5B-PLUS would be coming to NA, but obviously I, and Anandtech was wrong, since it's available at newegg for $139.99! (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131177) Basically, it's just a P5B-Dlx, with solid capacitors, no second PCI-E X16 slot, and no ffing heatpipes!

Here are some pics (courtesy of newegg):

looks like a decent board for non-enthusiasts as well as enthusiasts, and it says it supports 1333fsb so i guess it will support penryn, good find :)

its not a P5B deluxe... minus the second PCIE slot...

look at the PWM area, not even close, and the 12V connector by the CPU is 4 pin only, not 8.

no doubt its a fine board, buts its no P5B Deluxe....

It has been for sale for a couple of months now.

If it clocks like a P5B-Dlx, that would be a great deal!

Asus P5B-E Plus its not a new mobo , it was released long time ago

[G.Foyle]

How come that all ASUS mobos with Plus are actually a bit worse than non-Plus (see P5N32-E)

[Cuthalu]

How well does Deluxe oc? More than 550?

board makes noise when hooked up to some psu´s.

Someone said this was the P5B-E Plus, this is actually just the P5B Plus, it's just a slightly upped P5B vanilla. The P5B-E Plus (yet another board) is the slightly stripped down Deluxe

so Asus 965 lineup is:
$120 P5B
$140 P5B Plus
$150 P5B-E
$160-170? P5B-E Plus (haven't seen this one in the US yet)
$190 P5B Deluxe
$205 Commando

whew?

Do you have any more details about this? I'm experiencing high-pitch noises with my P5B-E Plus. PSU's Seasonic S-12.
