this is not a vdroop! the board is undervolting a bit. vdroop is between idle and load.

Undervolting isn't all that nice, but vdrop is very satisfying. Seems that their 2nd 8phase m/b is better in this area than my P5WDG2-WS rev1.02g.

only issue so far with this board :

the 32 M time is not so overwhelming...

we all know andrés skills in selecting nice cpus and decent ram.

but :

asus p5 wdg2-ws pro - 6600 ES step 5 @ 3809 FSB 423
_____________________________

best core 32 M........ 14.39

compared to Dennies (Guess 2098)

asus p5wdh- 6600 ES step 5@ 3785 FSB 420
____________________________

32M ..........13.26

o.k. he ran a dual superpi ..but more than one minute difference ?

Looks like a nice board. Too bad the PCIe slots are spaced like that (no containers on the cards), must wait for DFI.

Is there any release date for this yet? Would like to hold off buying a board for now if this one is around the corner.

Nice review! I'm seriously considering this board or P5W DH in addition to an Areca raid card.

Yet another dilemma is if i get the WS Pro, i would need the PCI-X raid card. Hmmm maybe i should get a PCIe raid card instead, forget about SLI so i can run the raid card on either board and also change mobos at will without worries in the future... :rolleyes:
