Ah found those points seem all points won't allow using a test probe clip for hands free DMM measurement though ?
I tried everything. three bios's, swapped boards and chips so many times I lost count. 9650 will work for 1 boot then 88 code, or no l.e.d., tried the new beta for the 9770 even. so far in 96 hours of owning this board I have only had the yorkfield running for about five hours.never even got a boot on the p-35. very dissapointing.

despite my love of dfi I am buying a board that will support my processor. I plan to hold on to this board (I already insulated it for phase ). if dfi does not come through with a stable bios by ther end of january I will not buy any more dfi products.

clearly they know about the problems, they have not addressed them and continue to advertise that it is compatible, which it is not.


all the performance in the world is worthless if it will not boot....
