Important nformations

Zum Non-Plus:
The nonplus version is not as good as the plus version vor overclocking. If you want to buy the DFI, then buy the plus version. Most of the overclocking results are reached on the plus version.

F9 for more memorysettings in bios




Zum DFI DK Plus:

p45 normal and p45 plus both have chipset A2 revision and A1 motherboard revision as of NOW. Difference between the normal and the plus is the additional 2 SATA ports and also the double boot after saving bios has been resolved for the P45 plus.

Important Information

vDroop-Mod

Here the vDroop-Mod. I made it with 20 kOhm VR. I think 10 kOhm should be work too.





Results:

Without Mod, R = 2,22 kOhm: 1,395 V / 1,385 V

With Mod, R = 1,37 kOhm: 1,400 V / 1,395 V (The poti is set at ca. 4 kOhm)

The boards works, but i have an great problem....

I could'nt reach more than FSB 400Mhz. The maximum was 430Mhz, but it wasn't stable. 500Mhz is impossilbe

Do you have some same experiences?

[Achill3uS]

nice mobo but 4 phase design (or correct me if im blind ) is really poor nowdays im curious to the digit pwm LanParty UT edition, dont you have any info about it? btw nice thread, let's fill it

[Peter Burg]

Let's wait for the people to get the boards. I think you're one of the first, so be patient. And fore sure it's the first release of the BIOS

[patrock84]

Actually i have problems with FSB above 400MHz..
CPU: E8400 or 8200 , same results..

[Peter Burg]

Let's wait for a new BIOS

For a dualcore it is ok i think

The UT version will have some digital pwm.

Let's wait for the people to get the boards. I think you're one of the first, so be patient. And fore sure it's the first release of the BIOS

Yeah, i know. i have send a mail to DFi....
Waiting for some other people!

Hmm, then is this a Biosproblem!

[Peter Burg]

Yeah, i know. i have send a mail to DFi....

Du ich bin Yidaki nur es war schon vergeben :fresse:

[nzbleach]

nice, all the connectors are pretty much placed perfectly. No removable bios chip though -p

[Kean]

The UT version will have some digital pwm.

There will be UT P45 ddr2?

[SeLecT]

There will be UT P45 ddr2?

I think so - http://www.hpm-computer.de/product_i...-P45-T2RS.html


--------------------

[Sem]

i hope there is a DDR2 P45 UT

i know that shop lists it but on the DFI schedule posted in the first post there is only a DDR3 P45 UT

[SeLecT]

Hm, you're right! Lets hope for the board!

And i hope for an new bios!

[Kean]

On schedule in first post, there isn't JR version. So, let's hope there will be UT DDR2 ver.
JR look like this:

[graysky]

What kind of NB Vcore and NB temps are required to run @ 400 MHz?

[SeLecT]

I don't know, because the 400Mhz are not stable... I hope a new bios will fix all these problems! If not, i will sell this board...


PS: Bios screens added!

[alex17 GTX]

Why so few Dram options? This must be an alpha beta whatever early bios... Also.. I though this board was scheduled for middle july...

[SeLecT]

Here a biosscreen from the DK P35 - it has a little bit more dram options

http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=s...800x600c2i.jpg

[alex17 GTX]

I know that! (my rig). And that can't be true. I really hope they release a new bios fast.

[SeLecT]

DFI USA answered me and in the USA they don't sell this board or have an sample of it...

So a mail to Taiwan is out...

[NupSiHoVa]

Hi SeLecT,

I just recieved the Mobo, might wanna hook it up tonight. I dearly hope it doesn't have the same issues as yours.....but more unlikely i think it will.

[emoners]

On schedule in first post, there isn't JR version. So, let's hope there will be UT DDR2 ver.
JR look like this:

really? i was kinda waiting for the P45 JR for my mATX rig

[CarvedInside]

Been waiting for this board. I think this mobo isn't officially lauched yet. Here in Romania you can find it listed , but they don't have it in stock , so it looks like I'll have to wait a bit more. Hope by the time it gets here, dfi engineers will fix the damn bios.

Any comments on the package, build quality, northbridge cooler?

[SeLecT]

The NDA falls on 30th of june... so you are right, that the board isn't offiicial yet.

I will take some photos of the package soon.
