DFI LANparty DK P45-T2RS/T3RS (Intel P45) - News|Info|Results

[Pika007]

I don't understand you people
That Biostar is not a mainstream board like this, "you have to compare apple with apple"
Other mainstream P45 boards like Asus P5Qpro or Gigabyte EP45-DS3R which are in the same price category usually barely scratch 500mhz.
500 for this DFI is not unusual at all, and most of the people manage to squeeze out even more

Whats not mainstream about that biostar board it only costs 150 euro.

Pika007 you are right this is a mainstream board but it's more expensive than DFI LP LT P35 witch is better IMO (8 phase digital pwm, ~600FSB...). And there is DKP35 on witch FSB500-520 is no problem with stock voltages. I'm mad becouse it took them too much time to release a bios capable of 500+ FSB and i was expecting more from a DFI board.
I've read in another topic that they are close to release a new bios for DKP45 and it will do 640FSB. That's great for a mainboard in this price range and it will be a winner.

[Pika007]

Can you please tell me how much the DFI costs where you live? over here it costs around 125 euro, and the biostar more than 150.... around 170 or so, which isn't exactly mainstream anymore.

DFI LanParty DK P45-T2RS costs 212$ (135E) , P35LT costs 209$ but now there are for sale at arround 150-175$.
You can find Biostar TP45 HP at 167$ but no I45.

dfi p45 costs $150 in aus...

[alex17 GTX]

We are not that lucky in EU especially in Romania where all the new hardware is much more expensive than it should.
If this board will be capable of 640FSB as i've heard it will surely be a winner in it's price range. And i really hope DFI will release great boards in the future (like they did until now) and maybe faster...
Hmm, where are the LT and UT P45? i haven't seen anything about them.

[NupSiHoVa]

...sold mine!

now im waitung to see some FSB on the Plus. first Version was very dissapointing from my point of view. the only positive thing was FSB 500 on a Q6600 overclockingwise.

[CapFTP]

well...640 FSB is good..........good oskar !

Very nice mate.

I don't realy like the F9 thing. That was something practiced by Gigabyte.

[Pika007]

I'll update the bios soon, expect updates tonight (GMT+2)
Let's see if it can manage 550

[FattyTW]

nice!

Well I am a bit confused with all this about not overclocking well.
Seeing as im building a new systems soon (First intel build) im getting something in the area of a E8500 and a HD4850, i wanted a alright overclocking board, i dont need that much becuase 3.0Ghz is already a bit much But this is going to be my first DFI board.
Is it any good?
Has the problem been fixed? So rather then using the bios in the cd that comes with it, i just download the new one instead?
I have been getting mixed reviews, is it worth getting the mobo and going with P45? seeing as it costs $150. woo

Thanks you in advanced

[cyberspyder]

What voltages are you guys running at?

[namegt]

NEW E8500 E0
Q811A731

[namegt]

E8500 E0
Memory is no longer reaching the FSB625 is difficult ...

[Technoholic]

Okay, 8 pages on this motherboard thread. I'm not going to read through out the whole thread.

Questions:

What motherboard are we talking about here? Are we talking about LANPARTY DK P45-T2RS?

If so, have the new BIOS been released to fix the OC problem? If so, how well did the Q9450 overclock on this board?

Any "complaints" on the RAM? I mean, I like using DDR2-1066 RAM, have there been any problems using that speed RAM? Using 4GB of RAM is fine?

I'd appreciate the response asap.

[politenessman]

ok man, you wait here. i will go and read the whole thread, and then come back and report to you. you will be here, right?
