The Conroe boards thread

Asus:

• P5B - P965 - ATX
• P5B Deluxe - P965 - ATX
• P5B BM - G965 - micro-BTX
• P5B VM - G965 - micro-ATX
• P5W DH Deluxe - 975X - ATX
• P5WD2 WS rev 1.03G (not 100% sure) - 975X - ATX
• P5WD2-E Premium rev 1.3 (not 100% sure) - 975X - ATX

P.S. Maybe make it a sticky?

This is what I'll definitely be looking into: P5B Deluxe - P965 - ATX.

8 phase power, CPR.....ASUS always comes up with the best stuff.

Com'on! DDR for Conroe? What a non-sense.

Com'on! A non-Intel Core Logic for Conroe? Completely absurd.

What's next? nForce 5xx for Conroe? You people never learn.

400Mhz FSB

P5B Deluxe Sucks.

I think dont need to put 965 series on the table.

Because they all support Conroe,no matter which vendor is.

In a head off given same video cards and the difference being 965 vs 865 you saying the ddr2 is going to be faster at stock speeds?
With the tigher timing of DDR i find that hard to grasp that the ddr2 system would be faster. Given how dothans favored the tighter timing of DDR vs DDR2. as i said though all we can do is wait and watch, the ati-200 was only in option if conroe @stock was faster with ddr vs ddr2 with the pci-e for my 7900gt.
Yea i would go for a 965/975/985 but on a budget with some older parts laying around why not 865?
its nothing but options for those who have some hardware they are not ready to get rid of. I know nothing in performance is going to match true intel chipsets. You never know what might suprise us in either SIS/ATI/NV for chipsets.
As much as i like Asus, i want to see a H to H with the Abit/DFI boards.

400 fsb will be enough for 75%+ XS users

:nono:

Absolutely not.

400FSB is far enough for conroe.

I guess Conroe can be Oc 500Mhz FSB.

400FSB is very normal for High end MB.

So why I pay the more money to buy P5B deluxe?

Why the **** isn't DFI going to do a i975x LP board??? wtf?

Right on PcCI2iminal!

Tuniq Tower 120 + 400fsb is all I'll ever need.

Charlie, maybe because DFI board (as usual) will be way overpriced than ASUS's. After all, they had the most expensive 875P board, yet the P4C was even better (as usual).

Hey, if they pull out a good NF board, I'll be happy...

On that note, does anyone know what NF chipset will be used for the DFI LP UT Nvidia board?

And what're your thoughts about this:

Buy all the stuff I want for a new computer, come end of july, buy a E6600, and inifinity.

When the expert/nf comes out, I buy that, ebay my other board.

Is that possible, or would it take too long to get my hands on the parts?

Edit: And will a Jing Ting Force chipset cooler fit on any of them (speculation only) or just the nvidia one?

P5WD2 WS rev 1.03G (not 100% sure) - 975X - ATX

is there any evidence of this board being released or is it just 100% speculation?

Nforce 590 Chipset

You are doing the same thing I am doing, getting the infinity or other cheap/good 975x board until the dfi's come out (then i will decide between asus and dfi)

Jing Ting should fit

No clue. All we know is that it's going to launch in trademark late fashion.

Who on earth says 400Mhz sucks ? If you've seen what prices DDR2-1000 is going at you'd be aching for some DDR2-800. As an example, 2GB perfectly good DDR2-800 ocable to DDR2-1000 costs ~$250.

2GB of DDR2-1000 costs ~$425 !!!!

With some of the prices I've seen you can 4GB of DDR2-800 for the price of 2GB of DDR2-1000.

Thanks ^^

I've been waiting to post this for the past 3 days, but my account wasn't activated :p

I emailed and BAM...great service :)

I'll do that then...any idea when I could get parts in Canada?

When in terms of after July 23rd

Edit: Oh ya, and would it be worth to buy a S939 for the time until conroe E6600 + Dfi board becomes readily avaliable, or is that going to be too soon for it to be worth it?

Thanks for the warm welcome, judging by your words...is the forum slowly dying?

Out of most, I found this one to actually be the one with the most knowledgeable people, and I've been to quite a few...

Ironically enough, I tried to PM you about the unactivated account, but unfortunately that's only for "activated" members as well :p

Any ideas on my future build? (See above post).

Hope to be around, hope the forum is friendly and non-dead ^^

lol...no the forum isn't dying, most new members hit the ground running...and reaching 100 posts plus within weeks if not A week. Just been a while since I saw a member with less than 10 posts tis all ;)

But we have our cyclical registration seasons. Expect release of conroe or k8lrevgsuperdooperconroekillerwannabe to be one of them ;) :p:

939 for 1.5 months? not worth it to me

xs is definitely not dead, infact its probably as active as ever and when conroe officially hits and k8l comes it will only be more so.

Get your post count up (please don't spam though) to 100. You will then have access to the For Sale section, I can say with fair certainty that you probably will see a fair share of Conroes for good prices several weeks before the release. They will be Engineering Samples though

Nice list there Skyline. I personally am going to wait for the RD600 board from DFI. May end up picking another one up before then though to hold over the "need" for Conroe :)

I havn't been around here that long, but Xtremesystems is far from dead, its very alive as a matter of fact...
BTW Welcome! :) :)

Added availability. And I'll try to keep that list as updated as possible, but it's a big list to check everyday...

And can some mod maybe make it a sticky?

Something wrong about Abit P965

The right model is AB9/AB9 Pro instead of AB8/AB8 Pro

Thx, where did you find that info?

KN9 Series mainstream AMD Socket AM2
AB9 Series digital home platform for Intel Conroe processors
Fatal1ty AN9 32x the latest gaming geared motherboard
AW9D-MAX for the most demanding high-end users
IL-80MV the ideal living room entertainment platform, and the first motherboard with on-Board HDMI.


Abit official website.


The headline is ABIT – The Reclaim Computex 2006
http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/index.php

And Something about 775Twins-HDTV R2.0.

775Twins-HDTV R2.0 is a new model.

So no matter which verison is , they all support Conroe.

And please ignore all Intel 965 series because they support Conroe at beginning.

There are no need to say.
