I want to see price (duh, everyone does) and how well it OC's.

I hope this trend continues. i7 produces the first real line of uber high end mATX boards to OC on (DFI had the only good one for p45 last gen that I can remember).

Maybe mini-ITX will be the new mATX.

Does anyone think that it would have been better to have a little heatsink on the Power MOSes? I do not see this board holding up 4GHz for too long without proper cooling in the VRM department.

There is no X-Fi on the board! There is only the X-FI MB application which comes with the board and emulates all effects through software, by using the CPU. ( the X-Fi MB can be used on various other configurations, its free for 30 days and it even works on older laptops with ALC codecs ).

why would you even want a full size or matx board?
this is perfect for a gaming rig or work rig... and depending on the pwm and bios, it might even be a great benching and enthusiast board, at least for air and maybe water...

i cant believe no one is talking about how to cool an i7 in that small of a form factor....
if anyone says "stock cooler" i will personally fly to your house and slam your pee pee in the toilet seat.

and the really NEED to go back and make a 775 version, there are far far FAR more 775 owners than i7

looks like you're forced to use the pcie slot for a video card. looks like the zotac 9300 board is still superior in some aspects, especially for space limitations and/or lower power consumption CPU's.

This is for a gaming system.

I want to put this into a Silverstone Sg05 with a amd hd5850 and 4gb ram. That will make a awesome sff gaming rig. That is the true purpsose of this board imo. And yes i agree wifi zotac 9300 is better for sff media pc.

LANPARTY MI P55 T36 Online

Hey,
I was hoping on another lanparty this year, maybe in summerholiday?
Anyone interested?
11-22-2009, 09:11 PM

Question is, what case and video card would you pair up with this? Seems kinda pointless to have all this capability without being able to fit it in an itx case.

It would be good for an HTPC, but if that's all you are using it for even an atom+ion board will do the trick. Or, you need a little more power for it to be a workstation i5 is still probably overkill. So, besides that, you have a SSF gaming computer. But, I think the only higher end graphics cards you would fit in an itx case would be like the 5750, which really doesn't need an i5 to back it up. That leaves you with a system with a lot of potential set back by physical limitations.

That doesn't mean I'm condemning the board, but I'd like to see what hardware people would pair with this.
11-22-2009, 10:03 PM
geoffsthaboss

a smaller micro atx with plenty of room left over but i can think of a couple itx cases that would pair nicely
SILVERSTONE SG06-B
or prob your best micro itx option
LIAN LI PC-Q07

Been looking over case options as well. Not much to look at if you're not a fan of SUGO's. I think Lian Li's new PC-Q08 might fit the bill. I've read it's supposed to hit the shelves before the end of the year, although, I may wait for Lan Gear's mini-ITX offering once I see the design.

You can fit a 5850 into an Silverstone SG05.

Are there power supplies that people use with the sg05? Not sure the stock 300w is enough for an i5 and 5850.

I think you'd have a great system on your hands with that combination.

What's the point of having a small energy efficient motherboard if you're going to install a video card that's twice it's size and needs a big power supply ? :shrug:

Well the board isn't really energy efficient for its size compared to other mini ITX boards.

And i dont get how people fail to see the point with this board all the time.

Its a hardcore gamer mini ITX board (one of its kind so far), look at the features dam it...

If you want energy efficient and low profile, one has other better options. But for a small, really small lanbox with some serious power this is perfect.

I'll say it again... what's the point of having a board that's half the size of your video card, which still needs a full size psu and a m-atx sized case ?

Take a look at a silverstone sg05 man. You can add in the silverstone 450w psu with 36 amp 12v and it will power a 5870 and i7860 cpu with ease. That will be a nice sff gaming rig. You could watercool it with a corsair h50 and use ssd drives to remove the 3.5 drive cage to fit the watercooling. That is my plan and I know that would be a awesome gaming system.
11-23-2009, 09:06 PM

H50 w/P14 FLX, i5-650 or i7-860 a 5850 and the SG05 W/ 450W. I think that will be my BFBC2 rig (it the MI is as good as it looks).

But why oh why doesn't Silverstone make a alu. version of the SG05, i HATE SECC bodys :(

The card in question was the 5970 which is 12.16 inches long compared to the 6.7 inch motherboard.
I like the idea of a small powerful computer, so for me all the parts need to be of similar size. :)
11-23-2009, 09:34 PM
brandinb

fair enough I was thinking more a 5850 because of the cost and a slight oc it will equal a stock 5870 in performance. 12.6 inches is too damn long!!! haha i didnt know it was that long but the 5850 is 9 inches i think.
11-25-2009, 08:41 AM

5970 wouldmt fit into any itx case anyways meaning you might as well go micro atx. Also that fan in the front of the sg05 will most-likely have to go

P55M-UD4 is mATX and the P55-T36 mini-itx, much smaller. I think a bit expensive but its really great potencial in a very small package.

Looooooooooooooool, its barely 110€ here in Spain...how can it be cheaper in Europe rather than the US? I think this is the first time it happens...

BTW, the Zotac is a totally different product compared to other mitx or matx products. The DFI one is just a P55 board on a mitx layout, which means you save money in parts...

Just looking at the price difference between the USA and Europe :shakes:

Price in the USA = DFI T55-T36 @ $135 or 90Euros :)

Price in Europe 135Euro or @ $200

So looks like we in Europ are been Overcharged by $65.

If you are lucjy enough to live near a Microcenter in the USA you can also pick up a i5 750 for $170 walk in price.

I need to find a job in America! :up:

Price in Europe 135Euro or @ $200

So looks like we in Europ are been Overcharged by $65.

If you are lucjy enough to live near a Microcenter in the USA you can also pick up a i5 750 for $170 walk in price.

I need to find a job in America! :up:

You forgot the taxes in Europe! That's the reason for the "overcharging" that you talk about.

Lowest price is €114.23.

But:

Quote:

114.23 (exkl. 19% MwSt.: €95.99)

In the link you can see the prices without taxes.

Besides, prices will continue to drop since it's a brand new product.

Link to MIX already posted ;) and why would the price without taxes be interesting?

I just wish this board had 4 RAM slots.

I'm very tired of massive towers atm, specially lugging them about.

This looks like a real beauty.

Now if only the 5870 would fit in a Sug05 chassis and run off that new 450 watt silverstone is bringing out for it.

If there's not enough memory slots or USB, then you might be better off with the JR version that's coming later :D

Also, as for it clocking as good as a full size board, it's very close on the test bench, but inside a mini ITX case it's going to be slightly less, unless you can ventilate it well and use some kind of cooling on the mosfets front and back. Need to test further to confirm this, but at the moment, that's how it seems.

I'm very tempted to get this, but there's no way I can justify the expense. The OC is incredible. The majority of people probably ONLY need a motherboard like this.

Thanks for the review. :up:

if anyone says "stock cooler" i will personally fly to your house and slam your pee pee in the toilet seat.

and the really NEED to go back and make a 775 version, there are far far FAR more 775 owners than i7

I agree, when I finally retire my Q9650 I would love to throw it into a nice mini-itx rig.

This looks like a killer board in all aspects.

Not to beat a dead horse, but H50 + SG05/06 = good combination.

Its hard to fit a tall cooler, but a single 120mm rad will do a decent job. I can't think of another GOOD cooler for p55 that'll fit in such a small case.
12-13-2009, 11:00 AM

Looks like it needs some Enezotech MOS-C1

BTW: Cant wait to see what Lan Gear comes up with after DA BOX 100.

They are working on a Mini-ITX project, 2-5% smaller than SG05, can fit a TRUE, ATX PSU and a HD5770 AFAIK (or its more or less a rumor, im having a hard time imagining how to fit all that in such a small box).

I don't see how it can be smaller and fit all that.

Just doesn't seem possible, since to get a full ATX PSU into the SG05 you need to mod it and a third of the psu sticks out.

Let alone getting a True in there. That with a full PSU means it has to be a very high chassis. :shrug:

Probably using the same front psu technique again, which I don't like.

Because if you want to compare the price in EU and USA you must do it without taxes, since US prices are usually listed without taxes.

For all you UK people on here, got an email from DFI earlier stating the Scan should have the board in stock this week!

Yay. :)

Seems I'm going to have to get the board out of Germany at this rate, Scan don't ship to ireland unless you arrange a special courier and that costs more than getting stuff from the EU.

sweet lil board.. needs more day glow tho. ;)

whats the best video card I can get that will fit on this thing. I'm getting this case for it .
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112227

any cpu ideas? i7750 or i7860?
I also need a pair of decent 60-80gb ssds for this thing. any recommendations or should I just get a pair of 60gb vertex turbos and call it a day?

You should be able to squeeze in a 5770, it's under 9.5" in length so you might be able to squeeze that in.

I'd say the i5 750, it's cheaper and is HT really that important, that you need to pay an extra 100.

That 100 would be better spent on those 60gb vertex drives. :)

man youre a godsend!...

I used that case in my vA synth MIDI rig and its tight but I already have a 5850 in my main rig. Since I already have that 5850 and the same lian li itx case I'll check to make sure.
the problem is the clearance is so tight for a decent cooler other than stock size. giimme some ideas for the best lowprofile 1156 cooler. otherwise im going to stick a radbox on the back and a 120mm black ice extreme rad.
I was just going to go with one of the newer snubby pcb 5770s since I am not going to game at work.

Heres what Im doing, since this is for work and we opened a 2nd office in florida I am going to use the current computer which is

quad xeon 775 x3350
p5e3 dlx x38 asus/ (swapped for a gigabyte GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128397
gonna use this x2 AM3 550 BE phenonII I have here. .

my boss is giving me a 2nd 4850 for making the rig for him.

for my new work rig I am going with the following but the 2xdimm slots is killing me. I need at lease 2x4gb kit for this quad. and the 2x4 kits are crazy expensive. I'm gonna see if buddy at mushkin is feeling generous. maybe I can swing a discount on a rma ddr3 2x4gb kit.

FYI for you guys looking at mitx cases for this board. I cannot recommend a better case than this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112227 its cheap as hell and quality is 2nd 2 none/ I am using this case for a virtual synth midi rig and its just amazing. Heres a shot of it next to my main gaming rig and you can see how rad it is. You can fit a nice psu in it and the build quality is typical lianli. You will love this case! Just make sure you have a very short cooler on it or even better a waterblock. the taller tower cpu heatsink designs will not cut it. You will hit the psu.
