Nice! Im gonna wait for the DS4 though. Hopefully the price is <160 lol.
Why would you want it to cost more than 160?
lmao, my bad I ment less than 160.
Any idea of the max FSB on with this board ? Hope that is little bit more than 400...

I'm thinking of that Gigabyte board or this one right here ^^^^^^^^.
How do Intel made mobos overclock?
I have to admit I like the features on that one. That might be my best choice at the moment considering the intel factory 965P mobo is only $20 less.Quote:

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!
I was worried the P965s would cost like $200. I hope P5B Deluxe is like this price.
Maybe I should buy one. I imagine the price will shoot up... It's blue and orange though.
have you seen many Asus board with Wifi for $150 ? :stick:Quote:

The P5B Deluxe is a deluxe mainstream vhipset. if it's above $200, it's only becasue of Conroe. I shoudl of said, "I hope this price is an indication of the P5B Deluxe". I bet the P5B vanilla will be though. I'm just happy it's not $250 like the 975Xs.
Hmm...why do I feel like the chances this board sucks are high?
On a positive note:
Did you read the performance update? They got to 360 FSB with a newer beta bios. Still not the magical 400, but a bit better.Quote:

Wow, I was about to buy it. I guess Gigabyte sux...
LOL.. i've used quite a few gigabyte first release boards and they are not bad. They're not a DFI SLI-DR or equvilant, but they'll get that conroe system up and running before everyone elses.
I already purchased my P5W DH, otherwise I would of taken a chance on this one.

Here is the DS4

nvm
that's not giga's probe, all 965 suck!Quote:

here for xtreme user,975 still be ur choice;)
I need a board that will hit 400 easily...except I don't want to pay $250 for it. Especially when I'm going to be using only 1 video card. I can dream can't I?
holy crap!!! look at the price of that DQ6 omfg!
dude, hittin 360 on a $150 dollar board isn't bad in my book....
besides, new BIOSes should let it hit 400...

they have alot of work to do to get it to compete with the other 2 currently available, hell even the DFI does better.
Do you guys think the P5B will hit 400?
I don't expect to overclock more than 3.6 with my E6600.
It says the BIOS allows tuning from 100 to 400. I think I saw it go there somehwere on the OC forum.
Hit 398.....Quote:

Abit has been selling cheaper lately, when compared with Asus and Intel.
Perhaps the AB9 and AB9 pro will be much easier on the wallet? I also heard that Abit AW8D is a great OCer, so hopefully the AB9 is just as good. I want Abit to be like how they were back in the Northwood days.

Damn, 150 and only 400 fsb. I would go for the P5B if only it allowed for ATLEAST 450 fsb. Guess i will wait and see what the AB9 does..Quote:

I guess you agree with me... Junkabyte.
I still think this board is probably the best option at the moment (for me anyway) only because I am certain I'm will be switching mobos 3 months down the line (lol).Quote:

Yeah but notice they said they were using stock cooling because they wanted to see a result representative of an "out of the box" set-up.Quote:

For how much more vs $144 shipped?Quote:

I think this board is the "sleeper" because it has some nice features nobody is mentioning like solid capacitors and other things.
Since I am not planning on running dual cards I'd rather use the extra $115 I'm saving an just get a better memory kit and/or processor.
ewiz has that board but cheaper than newegg
http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?src=eb&name=MB-965PDS3
Thanks! That was enough incentive for me to order it. I'll get my "ultimate" board later in 3-4 months or so when I have a better idea on which one really is the best.Quote:

theres alot of new info going around that setting the 1333 strap yields higher FSB but of course the relaxed timings slow it down a tad. so even on a cheaper board if it has the 1333 option its still possible to increase the clocks.
Sierra keep us posted on that DS3.
if it can go higher than that i may pick on up.
im not sure what chip he's using but if he keeps the multi high its not a bad board.
i fear the severe lack of power control on the board. i mean it is only what 3 phase ? may hurt its clocking but only time will tell.
What if I'd only want to hit a easy 333.4MHz X 9 and get 3GHz? Or maybe 350 at the most?Quote:

Shamino at VR-Zone did tests with the DQ6 board which may share some of the same issues with the DS3. These were his findings:Quote:

Performance as you can see is pretty good. But there are a few flaws....
First of all is the phantom VDIMM voltage settings. The board will not boot up when you select above 2.35v on the memory voltage. It is not that the board will not support above 2.35v, just something wrong with the BIOS setting. So I had to voltage modify the memory voltage to raise it above 2.35v and not rely on the BIOS settings. It can be done by pencil mods and you can check it out here.
Then other problem I faced was that it did not work properly with my Conroe X6800 ES. There was no way for me to change the FSB with this CPU so I can select any FSB higher or lower but it will still boot up and remain at 266MHz default FSB. There was also no multiplier higher than 11x for me to select.
These are the 2 main problems with the board I faced so far."
Review anytime soon?Quote:
