TBH...this mobo really shocked me on either performance or the frequencies

[rastaseb]

what about vdroop on this mobo? same as the P35-T2R ?

[trans am]

How is this much better than the infinity P35?
Is it mostly the o/c bios options and recovery?

[VictorWang]

vcore droop = 0.02~0.04v with a C2D.
bios option almost 99% same as P35 LP/UT T2R.
u can simply regard DK as a little brother of LP/UT

[Aldy402]

cant wait to see this on a quad, so easy to just swap out the nb sink for a mcw30 too. What a board...
thanks for pics

[HeadOn]

Sold!

[nullface]

uh, ill be getting one for sure too, miss my old SLI-D alot!

When can i buy it?

[YukonTrooper]

Wow, those FSB and memory speed/timing results are out of this world.

Can't wait. I loved my old Ultra-D.

[mad_skills]

Has similar bios to P35 T2R. Looks like a small winner.

.....and for quads? I'm on the fence between this and the Abit IP35-Pro for a Q6600.

[BAR*B*Q]

wow gorgeous results

quad performance would be interesting though

[mascaras]

another great Intel mobo from DFI !!!


before i bought Asus P5E i had DFI P35 , best Intel mobo i ever tested !!! and i only "switch" to the Asus P5E because of Crossfire 16x/16x

well if its true bout this boards vdroop, you will be better off with this
board compared to the ip35 pro

[Nate P.]

Looks like an awesome board!

[spinejam]

well if its true bout this boards vdroop, you will be better off with this
board compared to the ip35 pro

Yea, I've seen that thread before. I'm hoping someone else will come along and confirm getting overclocks like similar to those (also with a quad). I like getting multiple angles before a purchase if they are the same angle but from 2 people

[VictorWang]

oskar promised there will be better performance on Quad(fsb).
i'm working on a vcore droop mod, then will post some qx9650 result on it.

[GAR]

nice board, all its missing is PCI-e 2.0

[kuhla]

nice board, all its missing is PCI-e 2.0

...and a place to buy it

[masterg]

1 PCI-express 16, no thanks

[HeadOn]

1 PCI-express 16, no thanks

It's P35, no point in having more

[Comminadian]

One PCI-E 16X? Yes please.

This looks like the board I have been waiting for.
