Is it my imagination??

I don't see any Digital PWM in that picture?

[triple_A]

LOL, looks just like a MSI mobo

except for the "infinity" logo of course

[K.I.T.T.]

Layout seems OK...the thing I noticed immediately was that it uses a smaller PCB than usual, like the GA 965P DS3 rev 1.0. No mention of RAID though...and how the hell does it have digital PWM? I see 4 phase analog PWMs... . Doesn't have 100% solid caps either, although this shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Would look much better with a black PCB. Will be interesting to see how it performs. I'm guessing under £100 (and around $170ish in the US)

close

Price is set for ~$160

Raid is from the Intel chipset, there is no seperate 2nd controller like on the LP.

Bios is different than LP because of the different hardware, but the PDF says "excellent overclocking ability", and it will have decent overclocking features in it.

Availibility is set for end of August (probably the same as the LP).

...and that's all I know.

Oh wait, PCB is 305x215mm, 4 layer, and red (in case you are blind).

I don't know what's up with the PWM. I'm just copying/pasting the PDF marketing material.

I'm pretty sure it's NOT your imagination...

[FghtinIrshNvrDi]

now I'm stuck between the DFI P35 or the Abit P35...

it looks good , if it turns out to be a performer like the p965-s , it's a keeper...

That is definitely 4-phase analog, and thank god because 4-phases digital would certainly cripple it's cpu overclocking abilities even more so.

Did anyone else notice that it's only a 4-layer PCB, as opposed to the 6-layer we find it most enthusiast boards? This may be the first Infinity series board that actually resembles it's 'value-minded' nomenclature.

[d@rkn1ko]

4x pwm?

[turtle]

The Infinity Dark is 4-layer. Heck, the only Infinity that I know is 6-layer is the 975x, bu that itsself is a high-end chipset.

Actually, this looks darn close to the revamp of the dark's features, minus the 4x slot and a few part changes (lan chip, caps, apparently PWM).

Looks very nip and tuck, but that's fine with me if it performs well...Just wish it had a 4x slot. That's kinda lame.

[Frank M]

I remember some people dissing the std green pcb of the 975 Inf - well, IMO it's
still better than this one... also, I would've liked to see a ×16/×4 PCI-e slot
instead of 2 ×1s... well, I'm going to wait for pcie2 boards anyway.

[adamsleath]

looks sensible.

[erwinz]

nice.. really value minded.. hope it is still a good overclocking board.. "budget wise" ^_^

Yeah but like all Infinities with no overclocking failure recovery except full BIOS reset...

Sorry but whoever is in charge of the Infinity series at DFI seems to be opposite of the Lanparty guys.

[dinos22]

ah nice

you should probably correct the Digital PWM reference as it's clearly not!!!

[wedfighter]

no power ON/OFF switch will make my hands bloody iron

[sergers]

end of august?

what happened to the other people who were testing the lanparty saying it would be out by end of july....

ahwell.. i guess my next board after my p5k premium will have to be x38... hopefully dfi can release an x38 it in a timely fashion then...

It has CMOS reloaded. What else do you need?

Here's the PDF:

What's not in there, but I mentioned, I got from a DFI rep (whom is a really nice guy)

As for the X38...No word yet...I asked :P

[Revage]

ugly board , it is total dissapontment , i was hopeing something better

[KingThot]

Bleh, uglier than I thought it would be. Not a huge fan of the red white and blue scheme. I think I definitely prefer the 975X's std. green.

That said, I'd consider it if it clocks well and offers decent performance per clock. Especially now that I know the LP is $300, that's a tad heavy for my wallet.

[Nedjo]

I like placement of clrCMOS jumper

[ent]

Not bad layout (no heatpipes! ), but I would prefer to have more space around CPU area for insulation. It's clear board on the pictures has 4-phase analog PWM, but maybe the final rev will be changed? and also only 4-layer PCB? a little bit strange.

Blood iron? There's nothing wrong with my blood iron...
