also .. i know they said something like a week or two delay for the 965 board.
but has anyone tested the -s dark version yet?

Coolaler's got one...
So does Hicookie...
I'm looking to pick one up when they're available, but I'm a little dissapointed at the low FSB (540-550). Hopefully getting the chipset cold will give me the extra FSB I need for my E6400.
im waiting.
Waiting is all we can do. :sofa:
man. i bet all of us get so jealous of coolaler and such
they all get to play with gadgets before us..
so, i wait now. who else is with us waiters!
i'm not all that excited tbh. i'm more excited about the 680i version. i'll keep my commando till then
im waiting :D
/waiting
waiting for the retail price here in the EU...
The US site now has the following posted for our viewing pleasure:
http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_prod...YPE=LP&SITE=NA
i have a shipment landed and clearing customs....i presume the same or similar is true for many channels.
i'd find the biggest closest DFI seller and pester them if possible
i'm in
~130 Euro :)Quote:

Waiting for it to complete the configuration in my signature.
i can assure you that after this mobo si launched and ( as hoped ) it will show a very great perfromance, MANY will sell their own ASUS or ABIT and get it ;)
Do you have to re-install Windows when you switch motherboards? Anyone?
mark
It probably works best with a fresh Windows-install, that's what I would do. But if you can boot into Windows you can uninstall the old chipset drivers and install new ones.
You call 540-550 low FSB (without mods) ?Quote:

i really think this board is over hyped. i really don't see the retail version doing any better than other 965 boards. from what i've seen the limitation is the chipset, not the boards. but i'm waiting for the reason to prove me wrong. i'm just hoping its a dud so i dont' have to buy another mobo :rolleyes:
except it shouldnt have that stupid cold boot issue since it isnt playing musical boot strap
I just saw this on the another Forum :D
"William Yang at DFI San Jose, said the boards should be reaching them in late April, so he thought it'd be no later than the first week in May for resellers to get them.
btw, above I said the MSRP of the Infinity P965-S is to be $135--but William told me this afternoon it's $140.... Also--in case anyone wants a P965-S shipped to them this week, he said he'd be willing to fulfill orders on an individual basis right now, and send boards out immediately, direct from DFI, for $140 a pop plus shipping, He said DFI has 60 boxed P965-S boards as of this afternoon. Anyone interested can reach him at: williamy@dfiweb.com "
you're my hero. i'm glad i stayed up through the night. i'll even say i love you man
edit: to those talking about cold boot and the likes, hmm.. if so, it'd be great. I read from asus that the double booting is to trigger the southbridge or something along those lines. And I've found on my p5b vanilla that it can do 500fsb fine at 1333strap, but most of the time, it won't boot up, unless after a failure, I hold the power button to turn it off, wait 5 seconds, and try again, simulating a false boot. Works everytime. But it'd be great if this could do it without even needing to double boot.
Also, this thing is on 1066 strap, which I don't need to say is absolutely impeccable. Honestly, I'd rather 400fsb on 1066 strap than 1333 strap at 500. You should see the latencies and cycles on ram access with mbench. I think it speaks for itself.
It would make this even greater if there's the ability to change vdimm / vcore in windows, like the ds3. Although I absolutely loathe that board, easytune is great in that regard. And also, I'm hoping for clockgen support. Now, I'll say that I don't do changes in windows normally, but in the experimentation phase, it's a whole hell of a lot easier to do testing from within windows rather than setting in bios, booting, testing. Even if it means I crash out of windows a lot.
And you do know you can pinmod a fsb266 chip to be 333, and it will use 1333 strap. Also, you can pinmod a 333 chip to be 266 and be 1066 strap.. For this board anyways.Quote:

Let us know how it goes
Sent off an e-mail. Let's see what happens :)
I sent one, I will let you all know if I get a response...... :-P.
140$, that is sick sweet low price given the DFI name, and current board prices.
I'll probably get laughed at for this post, but so be it!
Is this board better than the Abit QUADGT or the Asus Commando? I just bought the QUADGT and paid a pretty penny for it. :(
-Collin-
Awesome !!! :woot: I cant wait until some people on XS get their hands on this board so we can see how it does :D
WTH, I sent an email also. we will see how it goes.
He's probably flooded with e-mails by now hahaha.
I hope he's ready!!! LOLQuote:

Seems this is for the line of a "Wilson Chan" who is no longer with ASI. I have to press 0 for operator assistance, but right now I'd rather install my 7900GTX I just got back from RMA haha.

This is for real I guess. I just got a response from William Yang and faxed a CCA form to DFI for $155.15 per his instructions. They will ship FEDEX as soon as they receive the monies from my account.
I'm familiar w/ MA Labs and ASI, but sending CC info to a Fax seems a bit sketchy...
I rather wait then mess with that.:nono: Sounds like one of em Nigerian scamsQuote:

Well I actually went to the DFI Website and it appears to be legit:

sorry for off-topic, but why has coolaler left XtremeSystems ? :confused:
i think he was accused of cheating some SuperPI and 3DMark results which he never deniedQuote:

looks legit to me
I just got off the phone with William Yang (Mang?) at DFI San Jose and he told me the board will ship Fedex tomorrow.Quote:

It all seems on the up-and-up to me. While waiting on hold for CS I was enlightened with all of DFI's accomplishments and also with some info about their marketing strategy and future products.
I guess I will have to wait and see aye?
hmm I was one of the first to test the pinmod, so I do know about it. But you do state a brilliant point. It may or may not be the cause, if it's about the board not knowing when the change strap.Quote:

I was first to send email from this forum. How come no response? :(
edit: yay!!
Dont feel bad he doesn't like me either, I also got no response:mad:Quote:

i might as well order the board the next time i need cpu and ram to replenish stock.
woooo mine is done deal with yang : ))))))Quote:

I called as soon as I saw the pic post of the # on DFI site. He's sending the form and hopefully ship tomorrow! $140 + $15 freight, no tax for the state next to CA...and should be here right away too!
Yeah I think it was mentioned that they only had about 60 so it seems they may be going pretty quick.
ya that might be the reason he gave me a phone number for europe branch.
but they told me they only give boards to resellers :(
:):):)
i think ziddey is excited hehehe
so would this board be a bette choice than a Badaxe2?
My board suppose to be shipped today. But didn't get any tracking number yet.
theyr already being listed on alternate for 149 euros

I´m also thinking to swap my Asus P5W DH to this.
I'll probably get from alternate too, because they have slightly better prices than another german shop where I usually shop.
This Shop is much better and really fast.

Its probably tunring in to a giant PITA. He might not have antipated the rabid response. No doubt kicking himself for not just sending the entire pallet over to NewEgg. Now he's got to deal with all you OC losers. ;) :DQuote:

X6800 and qx6700 should be a blast on this board with all the fsb and unlocked multi's to play around both sides of the fence...
Oskar has put some work in around the dimm sockets as usual, plenty of drive strength resistors for variety and overclocking margin with various ram..

are there going to be non solid revisions now ? or did they decide to sell P-965S only ?
Since you're so greatful, you can post a nice review for us to drool over. If this lives up to it's expectations, it could be the Holy Grail of 965 boards. I can't wait to have an extra $140.:toast:Quote:

I'll see what I can do but I don't think I can go for high cpu clocks until the fuzion is back in stock again. Something's up with my apogee block and increasing voltage leads to sharp temp. gains.Quote:

Yep, their S/H prices suck big time, but you're fine if you're in Cali or nearby. Hey, but at least is starting to show at e-tailers so I'm sure Newegg, ClubIT, MWave, etc. will follow pretty soon.Quote:

Damn I have a quadgt and it's fine except for no BIOS updates forever. Wonder if I should jump.
I went ahead and ordered one from ewiz.
Came to like $152 shipped. Not so bad.
same here Not bad @ all :) 152 :)
LOL no joy for Australians
unless i can find another 7 guys to buy with me LOL
