Funny the Retail from my Intel contact from Japan and they got here faster than the ES from the USA.

Yet to open my retails but they have been sold anyway

Is the ES chip unlocked at all? if so what multis are available on it?

It is a good board many of the higher overclockers got already 450 on it.

It is hard decision when you have to choose betweeen wait or get it now.

I think just 2 or 3 websites have the PW5 DH, but it still very expensive.

I think the right price should be between 140£ to 150£, some of them are selling for 180£, they must be crazy about profit

For me, i have a Asus P5WDH on it's way, along with 2x1gb G.Skill PC6400 ZX's. I dunno how they clock, but stock for them is ddr2-800 4-4-4-12 so they can't be all that bad?

Got them for £140 as well, nice price imho.

Welcome to the ugly world of the early adopter

Look this price right here and take a good sense.

Asus P5W DH for less than 144£.

Asus P5W DH 144£

The right should be 140£. Overclockers .co.uk sell it for 176.19 so it is 33£ more than its competitors. Bad enough.

**K.I.T.T.** · 07-01-2006, 04:37 AM

I got mine for £153 + shipping. Not bad tbh. I had a look at morecomputers, but they say it'll only be in stock after the 15th of June

**qui** · 07-01-2006, 05:14 AM

ermm.... its 1st July today mate.

Yes just 15/07. where have you got for 153£?

**don_vercetti** · 07-01-2006, 05:40 AM

KustomPC's. But they're out of stock now, sadly.

it was a dig at ocuk customer service

**lawrywild** · 07-01-2006, 11:44 AM

Just noticed ocuk conroe's have gone from;

"Arriving July/August"

to

"Arriving July 24th 2006"

Shame I'm on holiday until the 30th

Atleast Royal Mail will hold it until then

**leejsmith** · 07-03-2006, 06:42 AM

i should have a p5w dh at work tomorrow and the cpu is still showing the 17th of july.

**stone_cold_Jimi** · 07-03-2006, 12:00 PM

The SLi mobo thing is really irritating. It's kind of central to what I want. I don't want to end up paying via the nostrils for some expensive overclocking non-SLi board. (Nor an expensive doesn't overclock very well SLi either, when they arrive)

I'd go for a cheap overclocking mobo tho, to play with. Any ideas? Do any of the Asrock boards do what the Dual did for s939? That's the sort of thing. Plenty UK dealers got 'em, cheap as chips (relatively).

Gladiator Computers are the single worst company of any description that I have ever had to deal with. They are rude, ignorant and have none of the customer focused quality which they might claim.

Don't touch them with a barge pole, myself and many others I know have been left completely gobsmacked at their lack of customer service.

I could go into more detail but that should suffice for now.

**don_vercetti** · 07-05-2006, 10:55 AM

My Asus P5W-DH has just arrived from KustomPC's - WOOO.

Once conroe gets here tomorrow i'll be happy as a bear who got the honey. Yay!

Just ordered mine from chillblast, should be here friday, then just need my chip.. w00t

**don_vercetti** · 07-05-2006, 11:26 AM

what chip you getting mate?

I've got an ES E6300 arriving, but once E6600 is out and established, and all price gouging has stopped, i'll be getting one of them.
