DFI 965-S is here! For sale @ ewiz

**Peter949** · 05-01-2007, 12:43 PM

I'm with you Collin. Done with ewiz. My only second order there and most likely the last.

**NinjaZX6R** · 05-01-2007, 12:59 PM

Yeah...I wouldn't say they're horrible...they just aren't anything close to Newegg's customer service.

I understand that it's out of stock, but having the nerve to charge my credit card before it's even verified to be in stock is a trick. Officially done with ewiz. I'd rather buy an ECS motherboard without any overclocking options than shop at ewiz again.

ewiz looks nice at first, but it's actually a horrible store.
Whenever I contact them they redirect me to nowhere and are very rude.
Make sure you leave a proper feedback on resellerratings.

Will do.

What makes me mad is that I have to wait for my refund now and can't order another board until them because I'm not sitting on a lot of cash right now.

Alot, 2.65V. I messed with it for quite awhile before I got the correct drive strengths. DQ 6/7 with DDR Mode2 is the ticket.

I guess I'm keeping my Quad GT!

I've got some high binned G. Skill GMH that will do DDR2-1200 @ cas 5 2.3v I'll try them. 2.65v is a bit more than I'm will to put in the fatbody's.

I don't remember the gentlemen's name, but I called in asking about info on this board. He told me he'd get ring later...sure enough after a couple hours he called back to let me know the board's at the facility and will be put on the site the next day.

**mrcape** · 05-02-2007, 03:28 PM

**Sixx** · 05-02-2007, 06:22 PM

Hi everyone, i am getting a c2d e6600 soon just like to find out is it worth getting this board over the asus commando/p5be + or gigabyte dq6/ds4 which i have shortlisted? Could any users give some comments?

I would go for one of the Asus boards if you can't get the DFI.

**Sixx** · 05-02-2007, 07:04 PM

Thnx for the fast response burningrave. Suggestion noted.

**Nelly** · 05-03-2007, 01:43 PM

Nice, would be good to see someone with over 500fsb 1:1, how many volts are running through the ram, also is the timings at spec?

Appreciate the info.

**Bootsy** · 05-03-2007, 02:27 PM

Mem is set at 2.1 these sticks like to be undervolted. Timings 4-4-4-9. bandwith in much improved over my P5b , but so far I cant run as high.

**RealTelstar** · 05-03-2007, 03:24 PM

I havent installed my board yet and I'm not sure which FSB I will use. But i'll do tests at >500fsb

Just nabbed another DFI P965-S from newegg

**Insomniac34** · 05-03-2007, 04:40 PM

Hey guys, I just got my P965-S today and I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a thread on this forum or a different forum that has a good guide for tweaking the BIOS on this board. This is my first DFI motherboard and, as I expected, all the options are a bit overwhelming. I was wondering if there are any particular options in the BIOS that I should change before I get going (Options that are specific to this board). And what would you guys recommend is the best BIOS so far?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out, really appreciate it.
