Asus Mobo's Due in?

[vrykyl]

Hey folks, was just wondering when the Asus P5WDG2-WS is due back in stock...as iv ordered one this morning over the p5wd2-e that is in stock purely because i need more sata headers and want 8 phase power
A few other stores that have em are out of stock to but have due dates for more stocks today...whilst im not in a massive rush, id just like to know if you have an eta for more boards and if im in line to get one- cheers

ok, both other sites with these mobos out of stock this morning are now both showing stock has arrived and ready to buy....when are you guys getting these in next? thanks!

Sorry, but at the present time there is no ETA set on the stock system to when that motherboard is due back in stock.

Best Regards,

ok thanks for the update - i know its asking a lot but could you maybe enquire as to when you could get in another board for me? its the one component im now waiting on...and other stores seem to have regular stock flow of them...but you are the cheapest

Pardon my ignorance but what does '8 phase power' mean when applied to motherboards and what is/are it's advantage? I don't think I have ever heard that phrase applied to mb before.

Basically, less ripple, less power consumption, less heat.
Should lead to a more stable system, better overclocking, etc.

ok i had an email saying stock might be in 22nd Feb - is there any update on this please guys? thanks

Basically, less ripple, less power consumption, less heat.

It should be noted however that the Asus only enables 8 Phase only when the VCore is increased, and the board as a whole consumes more power than past boards (perhaps due to the dual chipset design). But from an overclocking point of view, it does seem to help.

*edit - no longer relevant - just had an email saying stock has arrived, the mobo is in stock AND mines shipped out today and will be with me tomorrow! woooo
