Priced at $369 Australian dollars for preorder at a couple of Aussie PC shops. Probably not as high as I expected.

I'm liking one of these with a G0 Q6600 coming in the next week or so :D

Excellent pictures Andre, and nice results! :up:

I am very eager to see performance comparisons at the same cpu mhz between 600fsb and say 450-475fsb with tighter strap. :)

It should be less than that because we have 10% sales tax in Australia.

Edit: one of those shops i linked to lists an ETA of 3rd August. I have emailed them. If they have them I will buy :D but I doubt it.

detachable heatpipes :clap:

this is going to really benefit us watercoolers
damn nice results

and @Tony

good point about the R&D, most of us consumers never take that into consideration

any results for max fsb on max volts said safe in intel spec sheets? like 1.26vtt or something along those lines and 1.375vmch?

Nice, no legacy I/O, it's about time serial and com ports died. Also 600 fsb :eek:

Remember when the SLI-DR were insanely expensive? Similar enough. Then we had the Ultra-D. Not everyone needs SLI/Crossfire. We need a cheaper mainstream board.

Edit: And it would be nice to have a mainstream board in the LP series and not Infinity. Furthermore, the Ultra-D was everything the SLI-DR was minus the SLI and RAID.

Um, it had SLI and raid. :D

I get your point, and agree...but I doubt we'll see a board like that again...It must cannibalize sales on the higher-end part...and we all know the ultra-d's setup pissed nvidia off.

is cmos reloaded comes with this board?

The fact is this, to get the chipsets clocking high latencies have to be relaxed, so you buy a cheap low multi CPU you think all you need is a board that does 600fsb to match everyone who has a higher multi CPU, fact is thats not the case.

You guys need to move past buying the cheapest and hoping to clock it up, it may get close but performance will always be sub par as latencies on the MCH etc are relaxed so you see more like Allendale performance from a Conroe.

Ofcourse DDR3 helps as it can do silly clocks, but for DDR2 you really are wasting your time over 500fsb UNLESS you stay 1:1 and tweak a ton of registers to dial speed back in, but overall its still not as fast as staying under 500fsb.

Same for 680i, same for 975, same for 965, same for P35....Infact 975 is fastest below 450 not 490.

you are asking to much of DFI, they have an Infinity based off a cheaper 4 layer PCB, whether it clocks as well who knows.

Overall most have no idea how much work goes into making a high end clocking board, especially one at DFI. RnD and final tune take a huge amount of time up, there may have been 4 maybe 5 PCB revisions also and numerous changes to VRM etc to get the board working how you all expect it to.

This is why the ROG boards from Asus are expensive also...RnD is not cheap

@Tony: What means RnD?

What's about Vdrop on this Board?

Whats the Transpipe thing for?!?

The expected price in Portugal is 274,95€ so I think you american guy's are getting the board a bit expensive
08-02-2007, 01:18 AM

In gemany the pricing of the board is about 230 - 270 €, will be available hopefully next week

nVidia RAID ?

So its a P35 mobo with nVidia south bridge and el-cheapo ICH9 ? So where is Intel soutbridge ICH9R then ?

Imo, Intel Raid > nVraid and the latest ICH9R capable of 6 drives raid. :D

The FSB450 with the QUAD looks a little low - is this really the max?

Thank you for the info.

What Mibo said. How well will this board handle a Quad - 450fsb does seem a little low.

I hear the price about 260~270 uSD, but I really don't know real price in the market.

BIOS has vdroop option. You can select on or off.

Which one of the other PCI-E slots are able to scale to X4 signal the middle one or the top one?

Is it possible to contact Oskar Wu myself and have a chat about the posibilities and performance scalability using X4 signal on this board with my Raid Controller Card?

Thank you......Campbell:)

I already pm to you.

And show us how does that heatpipe cooler mounts please.

Here is heatpiper install from DFI.

The boards are fastest between 380 and 490 from my testing as down here the chipset is not neutered down to hold the FSB.

Im glad to see "performance level" in bios, Oskar said he would add it and has, now lets see the others open up their bios files and stop overclocking for us ;)

You are right. Not of many people use FSB 500+ because you need high voltage on DDR2. This just prove DFI LP P35 retail performance still is stronger than other brand DDR2 P35.

Next, Oskar Wu will tweak performance on DDR2 memory control. You will receive new bios in few days.

Man... I'm a huge DFI fan. Especially of their LP boards. But if X38 isn't that far away... oh man I just don't know.
