the JR will def. be my next board!
and don't worry, the bios will be fixed soon...
what is the overall build quality on the DK?

...building hardcore mini workstations...
Thanx SeLecT for the heads up
Btw is ABS function useful, or is just a overclocking tool for noobs?
Depends what you want to use it for. I've been using a stripped down version for several months on all the different DFI boards I have here.Originally Posted by CarvedInside

The overall quality is good
But the Bios..... is crap!
On HWLuxx we are 4-5 users and we all have the same problems. The maximum is 422Mhz FSB. Yesterday i have the thougt to send the board back, but i hope for a new bios!
PS: pictures will be added this afternoon
If i press F1 for the ABS function, nothing happens.... maybe i should read in the manual, how it worksThanx SeLecT for the heads up

I'm one of those guys with the same problem.
Installed my X3350 in it, and max I can reach is 380*8 (on the P5Q-PRO, I was able to run that same cpu at 475*8).
So for now, I can say that the bios is crap and I hope that a new bios will fix things soon.
Otherwise the board goes back.

I've got Supermicro boards that lasted longer than one of my marriages!
Here an picture of the accesoires
this board wouldnt be great for cf yeah?
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
SeLecT thx for the pic!
At least it comes with a floppy disk with ahci/raid drivers
It looks like P45 isn't so great with CF,at least with two 4850's, but i think its great for a 4870x2
I see benches with 8x 8x vs 16x 16x (P45 vs. X48) and the differences are not great. nearly the same scores. I only had a HD2900XT. Maybe i can get a second one to test CF
I tried it, all it does, is giving you a GUI and letting you choose your Cmos reloaded Banks.Thanx SeLecT for the heads up

If installed in Windows (waht icertanly wont do) it may even be possible to change settings on the fly. But just not my taste.
But the Bios..... is crap!And the bios is the thing for witch overclockers like DFI. But we know DFI is always late on the market and since this board isn't launched yet we have to wait. I'm sure they'll fix it.

Yes, i know they fix it, but i want the new bios now
Btw: Germany for Euro 2008
The DFI LANPARTY DK P45-T2RS is now in stock at MotherboardPro.com. If you find a legitimate lower price online on DFI, we will beat it!

100% just tell Mike
I also was thinking about buying the X48 DK, but seeing the FSB Overclocks not maxing out 500MHz i'd rather prefer running my CF on 8/8 and 550MHz FSB than 16/16 and 450
Doesn`t make sense. If you usde crossfire you gotta be a gamer. Check out tweaktown and their P45 vs x48 crossfire article. The performance loss with the P45 is massive. Don`t get a P45 if you plan on using crossfire. A few hundred mhz on the CPU clock wont make up for that.I also was thinking about buying the X48 DK, but seeing the FSB Overclocks not maxing out 500MHz i'd rather prefer running my CF on 8/8 and 550MHz FSB than 16/16 and 450

Thanks Clunk. I will link it in the first post!
Wow, you are very fast and professional with the reviews. Did they sort out a bios yet that can compare P45 performance to Biostar or Asus P45? I'm sure DFI will be amazing once again.
No, there is only one bios and this is crap...
Cart before the horse? : ) Hope they get it working well soon.
is the ABS tech only available in the P45?
For now it's just on the DK, JR and Blood Iron.
To be honest though, I can see it being useful on the UT/LT boards too.
@Clunk: is it just a software? maybe we could just install it in the UT/LT versions.
It is a software. Here is a screenshot of it. But i don't know how it works
And you see the a list of DFi-Boards which you can choose.
