**Official DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[Brother Esau]

Raja, you don't need to apologize for anything you robert and everyone else does a wonderful job. The key to this situation pretty much all resides with D.F.I coming to bat on time and having their presence felt when products launch vs the 3-5 months after the fact when the novelty has worn off and the clocker is looking towards the next up and coming product. Its a biatch of a business and very hard to compete when you don't have the huge buying power and market presence such as ASUS, foxcon, etc, etc

I will agree with you on that Craig Abit IP35 Pro has definitely opened my eyes to Abit its really just a excellent board and the support for the board is very good unlike the dficlub which quite honestly is a friggin joke these days no disrespect intended towards Robert (Rgone) or any of the other fellas there for that matter but no one even goes there anymore which equates into problems for D.F.I Inc considering the complexity of the Bios on their boards it needs full time addressing even for skilled overclockers!

I think D.F.I better pull their act together with this whole support thing because if they don't me thinks they are finished

Sorry for the slow reply but I am out of town atm.

The Abit forum is consumer led & although theres actually no proper concise guides or real information the club/community vibe is good & things get sorted quickly.

I don't go to DFI Club anymore as I find I appreciate the range of opinions & suggestion to issues I have elsewhere rather than the DFI censored political answer. IMO there is no Club in DFI Club, sure they offer support but its all one sided & from the same people. There is no community over there its just a necessity for DFI to offer support.

I do agree there should be an overclocking guide that would help the majority of people self included to understand whats good & whats not. I would like to see the TTR style guides like we had for the ICFX @ DFI club but with the exception that the owners of such boards contributed DFI/DIY Street style OCDB entries.

Ok am the only one that has noticed this.. that there are hardly no reviews done about this board... how strange.

it is a very complicated board, even though i have had it about 10 days i have barely scratched the surface of it's options. you always feel a big jump in performance is just a tweak away. and it probably is.

i think i will call in sick and tweak all day today lol.

Hey, Tony whats up? Its not the dficlub or anyone on the forum for that matter Tony its the lack of the user and member base. Like I said I mean no disrespect to DFI or anyone on that forum when I said what I did but the fact remains the same DFI really does need to regain the huge member base and following and popularity at dficlub that they had with DFI-STREET.

Travis.....yea don't even approach me to elaborate on that subject because its only going to turn sour with me and get me very upset and pissed off in a hurry!

Well get posting then, forums need posters and participation to become good....you can not just create content on mass for people to chat about

been on holiday m8, plus wit beta bios files changing as they are doing its hard to write a guide when so much changes each week.

[Raja@ASUS]

Please do not feel that you can't post or chat at the club, the first year was always going to be a teething process, support forums generally are full of well 'support issues', though much more can be added if the right crowd gets together.

Raja, i just want to chime in and give a thanks for all that you guys at DFI club do.. That goes for Tony and others too. I'm sure many others appreciate all your efforts to help the community.

agree 100%

[orkan]

Well for one, I personally don't find a need for other forums these days. When dfi-street died... a part of dfi died too. Whether they will admit it or not. They had better try damn hard if they want to get it back.

XS is my home for DFI related info. The buck stops here... if you will.

[ShoNuff]

With vdroop control enabled/disabled, depending on bios the vdroop is pretty much taken care of.

On that note, with the latest bios 9/13 has the vdroop control option been corrected?

RLM

No, it is the same. Disabled = enabled etc., vDroop is also minimal +/- .02 depending of the vCore setting.

[RLM]

Thanks ShoNuff, much appreciated.

At least DFI are consistent

hey Pt1t did you use any kind of active cooling on the north bridge when you had it on 1.79v ???

[Brother Esau]

Well get posting then, forums need posters and participation to become good....you can not just create content on mass for people to chat about

Hey, Tony
I somehow get the impression that I offended you with my initial post? If that is the case first off let me say I am sorry I meant no such ill manor or disrespect towards any of you guy's that play a vital role on that forum.

As far as me contributing well not much I can do atm my board was alive for all of 2hrs before it went into continuous reboot with no post and prior to that my Expert board was my last D.F.I board.


D.F.I.........Please hear my plea, you must come to market on time for the race if you are to gain back you're title and customer base!!!!

If you would like to know why I said what I did its due to the fact this thread and the dficlub, OCZ and Tech Repository are the only working examples of this board in existence ATM and although the content on all 4 sites are superbly written there are still not enough people who own the board atm and that makes me feel sad for D.F.I because well I want to see D.F.I succeed only because I believe in their product and them as a company and I myself have had nothing but a very positive experience with D.F.I boards.

got any mates with the board? they could just hot flash for you,, its really quite easy

[Mekrel]

You still can't buy either DFI P35 in the UK.
By the time that they turn up here so will have X38 ...

DFI's distribution into the UK is nothing short of pathetic. It's like this board doesn't even exist. No real excuse for it being as boards have been in the hands of others since the second week of august. 4/5 weeks on and the UK is left un supplied like usual.
