Would it be possible to run 3 3870's in crossfire on this board?
Are there any comparisons/reviews on this mb yet? I haven't found any.
How does this stack up against the Maximus/p5e?

k guys, plz post your OC, NB volts and NB temps for comparison.
im still fiddling with mine, but just a sec ago @ 450 FSb and 1.45 NB volt my NB was at a whopping 42c idle... its seems like a problem
I had that warm reboot issue and solved it by upping the nb voltage by one tick. Haven't had a single reboot issue since I did that.Quote:

further update..this is a nicely built board but it lacks the muscle that the IP35 Pro has in ease of overclocking!Quote:

there is Vdroop albeit small; about 0.02v.
not even going to waste my time putting in my QX9650 on this board..it will make a nice default speed board for my wife's computer...she needs a new board...i guess you could say this is a "GIRLY" board...LOL:D...where's Arnold Schwarzenegger when you need him for backup!;)
i made i bios template i hope you guys improve on this and post yours
100% stable :up: :welcome:

thank you for the hard work of taking notes and then typing it up for this thread.
i will give these settings a try...some of them i am currently using.
if this doesn't work out for me, your processor would go over 4 Ghz on the IP35 Pro board.
nope you wrong my processor can do 4.3 on air :DQuote:

but i need 500fsb+ need to get memory performance up too i'm a n00b when it comes to dfi bios :rofl: but never too old to learn
holidays commin soon will have more time
to see the real time performance over my p35 i'll never go back
i will keep it as a backup board
i thought your processor was a quad, Q6600...i see in your sig that it is an E6850...that's the difference.
need more juice for a quad
put your time in and you will find out which is the easy to ocQuote:

i've given it the juice...it is being limited by the DFI board...already know what it can do on the IP35 Pro and that has a large Vdroop..this does not!Quote:

New BIOS makes new speed-FOXCONN MARS achieve Quad Core FSB 511MHz and DDRII 1350

so what i can do that on my crappy p35c easyQuote:

ace its hard doin over 440fsbQuote:

i hope you stick with the board lol
i stuck 3 weeks with x-38 dq6 but i knew from day 4 it was crap
i gonna stick with this board its fun
i think we need bios update i doubt dfi spent enough time with this 1
windwithme is a superior overclocker...i doubt if many everyday users will ever get near 500 fsb on a Q6600.Quote:

i dont think dfi is for you nostro you need to read more
nice to see 1300+mhz on bench would be nicer on lower volts for 24/7
i did this on p35c stable not just bench pi stable
If this DFI X38 can never do 8 x 500 STABLE with a Quad-Core then i will never want it and we all already know the DFI P35 can't do it.
This FoxConn.... has done it.. i think or maybe it was a 6x not sure now.
I pray this X38 DFI can do it, cause i like DFI.
By the way Shamino, Kingpin, Windwithme and many other top benchers really like the board. This must mean something to us many overclockers in the market for the next best thing.
I want a QX9450 yorkfield and i expect or hoping it will do 8 x 500 and i expect to get a board that has proven to do so.
Yes nice for you, but thats on a DUAL-CORE you got that on.... lets see you get that on a Quad-Core on your P35.Quote:
