The DFI 965-s DARK wait thread.

[vintage_guitar]

you're my hero. i'm glad i stayed up through the night. i'll even say i love you man


edit: to those talking about cold boot and the likes, hmm.. if so, it'd be great. I read from asus that the double booting is to trigger the southbridge or something along those lines. And I've found on my p5b vanilla that it can do 500fsb fine at 1333strap, but most of the time, it won't boot up, unless after a failure, I hold the power button to turn it off, wait 5 seconds, and try again, simulating a false boot. Works everytime. But it'd be great if this could do it without even needing to double boot.

Also, this thing is on 1066 strap, which I don't need to say is absolutely impeccable. Honestly, I'd rather 400fsb on 1066 strap than 1333 strap at 500. You should see the latencies and cycles on ram access with mbench. I think it speaks for itself.

It would make this even greater if there's the ability to change vdimm / vcore in windows, like the ds3. Although I absolutely loathe that board, easytune is great in that regard. And also, I'm hoping for clockgen support. Now, I'll say that I don't do changes in windows normally, but in the experimentation phase, it's a whole hell of a lot easier to do testing from within windows rather than setting in bios, booting, testing. Even if it means I crash out of windows a lot.

And you do know you can pinmod a fsb266 chip to be 333, and it will use 1333 strap. Also, you can pinmod a 333 chip to be 266 and be 1066 strap.. For this board anyways.

I'll be getting one too. I bet I can get my e6300 stable at 3700mhz with this baby. I might even try for 3800mhz. Awsome.

I just saw this on the another Forum

"William Yang at DFI San Jose, said the boards should be reaching them in late April, so he thought it'd be no later than the first week in May for resellers to get them.

btw, above I said the MSRP of the Infinity P965-S is to be $135--but William told me this afternoon it's $140.... Also--in case anyone wants a P965-S shipped to them this week, he said he'd be willing to fulfill orders on an individual basis right now, and send boards out immediately, direct from DFI, for $140 a pop plus shipping, He said DFI has 60 boxed P965-S boards as of this afternoon. Anyone interested can reach him at: williamy@dfiweb.com "

cool is this post for real...we can buy them from this guy direct

good price too

[Hacksaw]

yes it's for real as far as I know. it was posted in the [H] forum and the rep William Yang is aware the he will be getting some emails for orders.
Let us know how it goes

[zoob]

Sent off an e-mail. Let's see what happens

[phelan1777]

I sent one, I will let you all know if I get a response...... :-P.

140$, that is sick sweet low price given the DFI name, and current board prices.

[NinjaZX6R]

I'll probably get laughed at for this post, but so be it!

Is this board better than the Abit QUADGT or the Asus Commando? I just bought the QUADGT and paid a pretty penny for it.

[Hacksaw]

Awesome !!! I cant wait until some people on XS get their hands on this board so we can see how it does

[Bootsy]

WTH, I sent an email also. we will see how it goes.

[zoob]

He's probably flooded with e-mails by now hahaha.

This is for real I guess. I just got a response from William Yang and faxed a CCA form to DFI for $155.15 per his instructions. They will ship FEDEX as soon as they receive the monies from my account.

[Jodiuh]

I'm familiar w/ MA Labs and ASI, but sending CC info to a Fax seems a bit sketchy...

I rather wait then mess with that. Sounds like one of em Nigerian scams

[Hacksaw]

yeah I would be nervous too, Maybe try to call them first with the phone number they gave you. I just checked the reverse phone directory with the number you received in your email and it does come back to CASTRO VALLEY / CA ..
Let us know how it goes

[nicepun]

Well I actually went to the DFI Website and it appears to be legit:

sorry for off-topic, but why has coolaler left XtremeSystems ?

[dinos22]

sorry for off-topic, but why has coolaler left XtremeSystems ?

i think he was accused of cheating some SuperPI and 3DMark results which he never denied

[dinos22]

155 shipped is around $200 AUD not bad

i'll send an email also

[khurios2000]

i ordered SLI bridge before, they asked me to fill word document with order detail and CC info , it was donna chang if im not mistaken that sending me the word file.

looks legit to me

I just got off the phone with William Yang (Mang?) at DFI San Jose and he told me the board will ship Fedex tomorrow.

I called at first to see if he got the fax and he said yes, muttered something and hung up. Thought it fishy and called customer service and they put me through to him again and he apologized for the previous disconnect and told me the paperwork is in process and will be shipping tomorrow. It all seems on the up-and-up to me. While waiting on hold for CS I was enlightened with all of DFI's accomplishments and also with some info about their marketing strategy and future products.

I guess I will have to wait and see aye?

And you do know you can pinmod a fsb266 chip to be 333, and it will use 1333 strap. Also, you can pinmod a 333 chip to be 266 and be 1066 strap.. For this board anyways.

hmm I was one of the first to test the pinmod, so I do know about it. But you do state a brilliant point. It may or may not be the cause, if it's about the board not knowing when the change strap.

But about the pinmodding to 1066 to use that strap, it doesn't hold true past 400fsb, which is the problem I'm having.

[ziddey]

I was first to send email from this forum. How come no response?

edit: yay!!
