DFI P35 Infinity (Pics and info!)

[alex17 GTX]

Very ugly board Damn. I'll have to spend a lot of cash on the LanParty P35 They should have made it like the Dark.

[oohms]

Awesome, if this one doesnt squeal like the 965 dark, then it will be a winner for sure

[uOpt]

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)

So this will be the first Infinity to have CMOS reloaded? I believe it when I see it.

In the 975x Infinity that I am sending back to the egg today their brilliant manual has BIOS screenshots of an overclocking recovery option - which is absent in the actual board. My NForce4 Infinity SLI was a major BIOS disaster, so I remain skeptical.

In any case, when's the Lanparty P35 coming?

Don't talk shi+ about the blood iron 'till we see some results. This could be an awesome board for the price.

You spend more based on looks? If the performance is right around what a LP can do but $100 cheaper, you wouldn't do it as long as it's red? :P

Looks cheap, bet it will preform like any other MB around the same pricing range. Nothing special..

[ineedaname]

Yea I agree, looks like MSI is making boards for DFI now

While performance is a "preferable" quality with which to choose a MB, the volume of choices for Intel right now, including solid performing products has been rather large. If, for example, I believe the yellow ASUS boards to be revolting, I am not forced to buy them as there are other MBs of a different color that will perform just as well in the same price range, etc. Yay for the ability to be picky .

I like placement of clrCMOS jumper

The one between the PCI slots looks like a :bannana:

It seems there is an EZ Cmos Clear type of jumper near the I/O part of the board if you look close enough. At least that's what I think it'd be. Kind of funny it's a jumper and not a switch though

Anyone would think this thread is about a fashion contest looking at some of the posts

Anyway I think its OK and looking forward to some benchies and I hope its made available in AU

I haven't sayd i spend more on looks but for me that an important thing to. I like the lanparty boards so much and i was hopping this infinity to have at least black PCB... but it came out to be very ugly. (maybe just my opinion). I could buy abit IP35 for almost the same amount of money.

Anyway i have one question: Is it worth to buy a p35 based motherboard instead of the infinity dark? I wont buy a quad core. I'm interested in spi performmance clock per clock.

Thanks.

Actually the DFI NFII Infinity was the first Infinity board to have CMOS reloaded.

I like the color scheme its the original infinity color scheme and its kind of cool they are going back to it.

i posted this in the dfi p35 lanparty thread... the infinity is on pre-order at motherboardpro

Ohhhhh. I may be able to afford a P35 from DFI after all (the price of the LP is just way too high).

I wish they would have used black PCB as well. As far as CMOS reloaded. I never need it. I have always managed to remember the settings used for my overclocks.

There is no reason to continue using a jumper to clear the CMOS. Even cheap HP computers that we use at work have a CMOS clear 'button'.

Regardless. This will be my choice for P35 if it's performance is up to par.

Agreed...Although there are a lot of damn good budget mobos under $160. Hell, there are good non-budget p35 mobos for under $160.

The future shall tell the tale.

[Marco André]

I like the layout!

[GripS]

I also just noticed the fact that the NB cooler is attached via push pins instead of the crappy hook design. This was not the case on the P965.

You all probably noticed this already.

[Xtasy]

the board isnt special... dfi what are you doing ?

[Agent11]

I think it looks fine. Would have been nice to have some sinks on the v-regs though.

[Revv23]

looks perfect. i dont need frills and features; just reliability and overclocking. Hopefully it delivers on that front too - though knowing DFI they wont want to compete with thier high end product making this board a loser before it hits the market.

I miss the days of the NFII infinity when they would have a significantly lower end product with performance of the higher end one; just less features.

And whos idea was blue ram slots on the red PCB? did they just have extraslying around lol.

Not heard of the red, white and blue

[Enoc]

there are going to be 2 models...
the INFINITY P35-T2RL and the INFINITY P35-T2L
the only diference on paper is this:

P35-T2RL
# 6 SATA ports
# SATA speed up to 3Gb/s
# RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5

P35-T2L
# 4 SATA ports
# SATA speed up to 3Gb

here are the links of the 2 boards DFI taiwan
