Asus P5B-e Vs. Asus P5W DH

[kashifmav]

Dear Users,

I have usually been a guest here but i felt i should join now to help myself make a decision regarding purchase of a motherboard.

I have to decide wether i should go for the cheaper P5B-e, or P5W DH. Now plz suggest me which motherboard will be suitable for me. i'll be using a e6400 c2d with it and will also be overclocking it. but im not one of those extreme overclockers, and neither would i be using multi gpus....so kindly suggest me which motherboard (also considering the price) will be suitable for me.

Your suggestions will be appreciated.

Regards,
Kashif.

Either will work just fine, for overclocking an E6400. You should make your decision based on the features and price.

so u mean to say is that i should go with the p5b...coz thats much cheaper than the p5w. p5w offers many other features though. but considering the bios versions and the southbridge....wat would be ur suggestions?

I have just worked with 2 p5b-e boards and did not like them as well as the p5w dh I am just doing now. I like the 5w dh much better and it has a lot of cool options for just a little bit more money. What is 30 bucks when you are building something that should last you for a while.
