P5N32-SLI Premium(Nforce590) or P5W DH(975X) for Core 2?

either one will do fine.

The intel board will overclock FAR better then the nvidia.
nvidia still makes a better chipset, their interconnect speeds are just better then anybody elses. So if you are looking for maximum performance on all sides (sata, lan, usb) you cannot choose intel.

I gave you the facts, up to you man.

How do you know that?

The reviews arent even out, and no one knows how the nforce5 intel edition OCes too.
In the feature side, Nforce5 dominates ALL. Simple as that as seen in reviews of the AM2 nforce5 mobos which will be almost identical to nforce5 intel edition.

The Asus P5W DH has its issues (check various forums), but the Asus P5N32 SLi premium looks very good.

Wait for the reviews before pulling your trigger.
 
I'm more into stability, performance and all around good designed board. I'm not OC maniak 🙂 SO I guess I will wait for this nforce reviews. I don't know why but I alwasy though that is it's intel CPU also Intel chipset should be the best solution for it and works the best casue it's from under tha same roof🙂
 
Is there a different version of the P5N32 board called the P5N32 SLI "deluxe"? can't seem to find the premium online (curious about pricing).
 
The P5N32 SLI Deluxe is NF4 based. the P5N32 SLI Premium (also not in stores yet) is NF5 based.

Yeah how do you know that the intel one oc's better?
 
you guys are morons, have you ever seen an nForce chipset over 400 FSB like the Intel 975 and the 965?

#2 take an nForce 590 board for AM2, the max it goes is around 350 FSB (http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2787&p=9). How on earth do you think that the Intel edition chipset, which even has a memory controller in the chipset will overclock further than that.

Trust me, you wont get any higher than 320-330 FSB, which makes the board the least desirable between 975 and 965 for an overclocker. On the other hand it will be the board with the most features and probably best performance at stock. So if you plan 3+ ghz with your Core 2 Duo, stay away from nForce. Unless of course you have an X6800.
 
*All* the current Conroe mobos have problems. Some more so than others. ASUS has been getting their updates out faster IMO. The P5W DH is considered a good mobo despite its quirks. Wether to wait or not for the newer mobos is a tough choice. Yes, they should be better overall but I bet they'll have their own set of quirks too. If you want Conroe + SLI then definetely wait.

No need to call names. I just wanted to know.

 
k sorry, its just that ppl keep saying, how do you know that, as if im making things up... im only stating the facts.
 
Guess what-the world frikin record FSB speed was achieved on a nVidia Nforce4 Ultra chipset DFI Ultra-D (over 500mhz, this is no longer the CURRENT world record, which is now held by a conroe and a 570mhz fsb on an Intel chipset).

Nvidia AMD nForce4 chipsets plus DFI=best overclocking motherboards ever made, period.

We have not seen a nForce5 board from DFI yet (or any really stellar boards IMO). This is a new chipset and has yet to mature, and get backed by the best AMD mobo company ever.

However, nVidia's intel chipsets have commonly been limited to a 350mhz FSB speed. Comparing nvidia AMD to Intel is like comparing apples to oranges. We have no idea what nForce5 will bring to the intel side of things; I doubt however that 500mhz+ will be common FSB speeds on Intel nvidia nForce5. We will have to wait and see.

facts? your logic is flawed. How can you compare a nforce5 chipset for AMD with an intel chipset at OCing? they are two completely different things. Research before stating these so called "facts"

Don't quote me on this but I think the 965 OC's better cause it is 90nm and the NF5 are 110 or 130nm.

Lol, youve been quoted. The nforce5 are based on 90nm.

Now lets wait for the nforce5 intel edition reviews. Since they updated their C19 chip to C51XE. But it is clear that the nforce590 is much better than the 975x in terms of features. Im guessing this nforce boards will be more stable then intel counterparts which are plagued with all sorts of bugs/glitches etc.
 
bet you that if that was even stable, it was an open air test bed. It was not inside a chassis with the panels closed. Am I right?
 
It wasn't inside the case at that time (I was dealing with quite a few Opterons) but it sure was stable as hell. But it wasn't achieved with every Opterons. This requires some sort of "chemistry" between the CPU and chipset.

But the point is that the NF4 sure has the potential to hit past 400SFB. Many people did it on DFI Expert board also. Admittedly it isn't as easy as on P965.
 
OP most of us can only comtemplate. Unfortunately we can not even agree on facts about products that have already been released let alone this mobo which has not yet been released. You want real valuable accurate info? Wait. Wait till it is released. I saw one on eBay. Tempted, but will wait.

Yes, very easily. NF600 series boards are supposedly coming out this week, so at this point I'd wait for the reviews before I jumped the gun.

I already ordered the Asus 590 board. I was reading about the newer 6 series. I don't think I will see the difference. As long as I can get 3.0 GHZ out of my E6600, I'll be more than happy.
