Thanks.
Corsair Dominator on this MB is strange to say the least, I'm running C3DF version and Corsair requires 2.4v well you do not get that option in bios but you do get 2.5v so I went a bit under 2.1v as I figured this would be good for now WRONG board will not boot with anything over default 1.87v for this ram:shrug:
I guess I will give my CellShocks a go tomorrow, they are 2.2V but maybe they will not have the issue Corsair does on this board:yepp:
I have the Transpiper going the other way and the board has been on all day and I feel no heat on its pipe at all, so I'm not sure it even does anything:shrug:
I like the DFI so far and I had only a few things to pick on, I do not care for the add on sound card, yes it has good sound but why not on board sound:confused:
Well it's new and I'm sure more bios updates are on the way:D
Windwithme is it OK to use ether channel for the ram? green or yellow
An idea to compare with P5K-Premium..

Premium fastest ?
I think it would be very nice if you could mount the transpiper like this:

My Seasonic 550W has a very low airflow but the Yate Loon mounted in my case would cool the Transpiper much more effective!
Can you run a winrar benchmark with this settings?

me ? no, cause my cpu is too much hot, tomorow I hope so, cause I 'll get a 6850 than theorically do 500 x8 ^^
I can do 500 x 7 if ya want..

Maybe it has to do with the memory controller of the board, thats why it needs less than other boards to reach 1200.
This board looks really great, it reminds me the old days of NF4 series.
Yes, the price is way to much but we will judge this when we see the performance of the P35 infinity.If iron blood can do the same fsb then I'm not so sure if it worths the extra money.
Something else I want to ask,because I don't remember seeing somewhere, what is the material of the transpiper?
Don't tell me that is not copper for that money?
Correct me if I'm wrong but extreme tuning is available now on almost every enthusiast motherboard out there...I use the Guru software on my Abit IP35-Pro extensively when overclocking in windows...and it works flawlessly for me...
Also just to mention, while this DFI board looks great, I think you can achieve the same OCs with boards that are already available, that are much cheaper AND most importantly have had more BIOS releases (better tweaks, OC, etc etc). I have been ale to get the same results posted in this thread with my IP35-PRO and retail E6850 and Cell Shock 8000C4 memory.
I agree with you.. and successful overclocking is relative.. :) and there are many variables..
fsb purely depends on your CPU.. but an option of PLL helps.. :) and also the GTL Ref for quad cores..
I think one pros of this board is its enhance memory controller..
I seldom see memory to clock ddr2 1200 for such little voltage.. Andrea have shown.. DDR2 1200 dual 32m stable for less than 2v of vdimm.. now I think its something..
hope anybody who is buying this board try his memory.. if it can do high fsb memory for such low voltages.. its really a plus.. :D
what fsb/ram ratios are available on this board?
Australian buyer's can get the board here..

ur signature is very annoying --^
why so large font
I have tested Abit IP35-E ..its quite easy to overclock.. :) like childs play.. hehehe.
right now I'll be using Asus Blitz.. :) but I think I can't touch DFI.. really expensive to get in my country.. 380USD can you believe it.. I'll better wait for the market to settle down here.. :)
fyi... in europe it will be available in week 35
