It was easier to sell the entire setup that ran 24/7 folding @ 3200MHz than to sell the E6400 and 5400UL's separately...

And a friend of mine had a P5WDG2 WS Pro he wanted to get rid of (he decided to run a dual opteron rig after he bought the P5WDG2, so it's practically a virgin )

The following topic made me want to give that board a try:

1st impressions:
bad onboard sound (AD) compared to the P5W DH (Realtek)
refused to boot with more than one stick of OCZ Platinum Alpha VX2 PC8000
vCore rather good, waiting for my Scythe to arrive to test droop
vMCH and vMEM are clearly undervolting, you can correct that with higher settings in bios, but it doesn't do you any good after a bios flash :s
I'll correct it with a pencil mod, waiting for a new Tagan to arrive
Finish of the coolers on the motherboard is much better than the ones on P5W DH, no need to lap them... I simply cleaned them and applied AS5...
Added a 40mm fan to the NB...
Staying @ 333fsb until the new cooler arrives and BSEL-mod for 1333fsb on the cpu is done (will get silver conductive paint tomorrow).

Sorry if this is a bit OT, but I think it's good to know that a P5W DH is a great board.
(after reading all the posts in this topic, people might come to the wrong conclusions)
