I too would like to see a review and/or some benchmarks on the P5B. Right now I'm stuck between choosing the P5W DH Deluxe or P5B Deluxe.
I've just seen that the Asrock cost 70€, is it a "good" board (a little oc-friendly?). Im waiting for the R600 DFi, and right now i havent the money to pick a P5D deluxe or something
I'd imagine all asrock (read dirt cheap Asus) boards are crap at overclocking, even if it did clock well you'd have to question the quality of the components, I doubt they would last long... :stick:
At stock they maybe a pretty cost effective upgrade.
They are not made for overclocking so it's pretty useless to compare Asrock boards for example Asus boards but they are great for budget pc's, HTPC's.Quote:

I'm probably going to get one of those, or a P5B. $300 for badaxe? screw that
I believe the only difference is a beefier power system (12 phase vs 8) and the audio codec.
And the DQ has a heatsink on the back of the board. "Crazy Cool" or something.Quote:

Stack Cool 2 is a fan-less and zero-noise cooling solution offered exclusively by ASUS. It effectively transfers heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for effective heat dissipation.
From what I've seen the stack cool thingy is literally just the pcb with metal on it (looking like really fat traces on the board); while crazy cool is a little aluminium heatsink stuck on to the pcb with some thermal paste. There are some pics floating around somewhere.... (soz can't find atm).Quote:

all hey did was move all of the important components located usually right underneath the cpu, to outside and around the cpu.
the underside or rather backside of the mob is just blank right under the cpu.
it keeps the cpu components underneath from heating up
also keeps condensation from hurting things directly under the cpu.
funny how they claim up and down from here to hell and back that they dont guarentee any overclocks.
then quit making f'ing overclocking baords catered to the OC community with 1 goal in mind,,, make the overclocker happy.
i despise asus, they have done nothing but make crap from start to finish crap.
*cough* sounds like what you do in this forum ..... (I haven't seen a single positively sentimented post by you here!)Quote:

Intel boards available to buy here, ETA 1-3 days: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Intel.html
Hi guys.....i didn't wait for dfi or albatron, and today i have bought an Intel Bad Axe Rev3.04 & Crucial Ballistix ddr2 800 Cas4-4-4 :D
I wait them...and later my Conroe E6700 on Phase Change:D
Byez :banana:
I've noticed a trend. All the boards with the new 975X logo support Conroe, but it's not visa-versa. I really can't decide between an P965 and RD600. Good thing I don't have to decide now.
Don't make that assumtion un-less you owned the board. My old Asrock Dual sata II board did 320 HTT on my 165 Opteron just fine.Quote:

I could get an RD600, P965, 975X, or 590 for Conroe. To me, it comes down to the boards, not the chipset. I read somewhere that Intel isn't ever going to succeed the 975X. That would kind of make me feel like I'm getting a dying breed.

Hello
What is the main difference between 975 and 965 chipset? I know people say 975 is 'top chipset' but in what way? Isn't 965 cheaper? I want a good OC board but I'm pretty tight with money (I think I spend round 200 $ max on a mobo), is there any mobos you guys recommend or shall I wait when more mobos arrive? In addition it would be good if had raid 0,1 +5 and support for quad cpus aswell!
I started a thread with the same question... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=104938

I remember reading the i975x is going to be like the 440bx and work for years with just small revisions. I'd guess the 965 would too, but less PCI-E lanes, no crossfire AND with the ICH8.
