wow they all look soo good....cant wait
Glad to see the P5WD2-E updated.
Whats Up With Those Caps By The Socket!!!!!!! Cant Use My Scythe Ninja!!!!!!!!!!!!
are these going to be released sometime soon or at the end of july with conroe??
No Heat Pipe on the P5B-V DH ?
Also P5BQ-V is new.. more info ?
Looks good but the layout seems a little awkward on the DH. Battery location seems like it was a contest to see which would be the hardest for us. Still glad to see them.
Nice boards I hope we can get them by the end of this month.
It would be nice to see a break down of these boads side by side. Im a little out of the loop on asus board and i dont really know what advantages one of these has over the other. What sets these 3 975x board apart from each other? (Other then the expansion slot configuration.)
But will they sport the new ICH-8R also?
I'm liking the P5WD2-E Premium but I also want the ICH-8R to go along with it or only the 965P (P5B) will have it?
OMG P5WDG2 WS Pro! pci-x woot:
P5W DH Deluxe: high end sli board i believeQuote:

P5WDG2 WS Pro: work station board with those pci-x slots and such.
What the hell? I just bought Scythe Ninja Plus for my future Conroe and now you say that it does not fit??Quote:

The top PCI-e slot on some of them is also nice for tv tuner cards that can use it like my PC Theater Pro card. Good spacing, nice lay out.

Again those stupid heatpipes...
That's really a problem for those who are using a BTX-formed case.
P5WD2-E Premium is my next Intel mobo.
8 phase ? :eek:
Andre, can you tell me which rev the new P5WD2 Prem is? And they are all added to my list :) But that 8 phase P5WD2 Premium looks very very nice. I Guess that will be my Core 2 Duo board :) Or maybe the Abit AW9D MAX, any info on that one? According to abit's site it has to be at there boot...
I guess it has something to do with specific Core 2 Duo power requirements since I've seen only 1 board without caps so close by the socket. It makes water heads, bigger air coolers and phase mounting, insulation much harder :slapass:
yes, just wanted to ask for that Info, too (Rev and AW9D) :toast:Quote:

I too am wondering if any of these suppport Crossfire. I see two PCI-Ex slots in most of the boards, but don't yet know the availability of Crossfire on either of these. Boards look good though. Little concerned about CPU Cooling... something like Tuniq Tower 120... will it fit with all those Capacitors sitting next to the socket?
I have the same problem... But some have really basic heatpipe (only on the Northbridge) I think it shouldn't be too hard to remove it and put a 3rd party cooler on the northbridge.Quote:

I know the Mine was designed to work with Socket 775 bds and popular bds like the Bad Ax or P5WDE all have caps in those same areas. (just not as many of them).
gahhh!!! i so hate intel!! or maybe asus, i dont really know...
i bought a P5WDG2-WS, for 2000kr about 350$, and now i have to buy a new board expensivev board, since i use scsi, i really need the pci-x...
and the only different i can se (there maybe more) is the cooling on the NB and the power design.
how hard would it have been to make the power design on the P5WDG2-WS able to support conroe... iam sure they had the specs from intel at the time they developed the board...
ohh well, guess i just have to begin save some money, and when the time come, sell the system i have now.
I like the addition of 8-phase power supply to P5WD2-E. That or most likely P5WDG2-WS Pro will be my conroe m/b's. :up:
After googling I found few people using Scythe Ninja with Bad Axe and it has caps also cose to socket...
I believe that it will fit.
Arg....heatpipes.
Glad to see I'm not the only one to hate this..Quote:

And can you believe they usually charge more as it's part of everyone's "premium" series?
...
When does the new P5WD2 come out? :D
Can anyone clarify if the ASUS P5WD2-E Premium pictured here is the same revision of the board currently available at etailers like Newegg? Thanks in advance.
and when you have a BTX style case like me (Silverstone TJ06) you're :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed also. Heatpipe upside down doesn't sound like a good idea...Quote:

P5WD2-E is near the same than P5W DH, in power design, the socket pcb area is nearly equal...
BTW WTF happens with the P5W DH ?? Just 4pin ATX connector ?? :confused:
Glad to see finnally a P5WD2-E rev1.03g(?) :D I have here a 1.02 dead waiting for it, to be RMAed... :stick:
I'm not buying conroe. Waiting for Kentsfield. :D
When will those boards be revealed ? :D
Can somebody say what rev of P5WD2-E premium is 8 phase and conroe support ?
It has. U need to take a good look @ the picture... ;)Quote:
