DFI JR P45-T2RS Engineering Sample

[Johnny Bravo]

I little box arrived for me from Taiwan the other day - what could it be?

An engineering sample of the new DFI mATX board

Let's take a tour shall we?



This is the ES board so the final heatsinks will be different






Single phase PWM for the RAM


6 SATA 6 USB IDE FDD 2 COM Ports


4 Phase PWM power design


I/O Panel - jumper is for BIOS reset


Clockgen IC


PWM Controller


HD Audio via Realtek ALC885

Bios screens to follow.

Performance wise....600FSB is not a problem

[Johnny Bravo]

Startup Splash screen and our old familiar AwardBIOS screen


Genie BIOS Settings in "Easy Mode"


Time to hit the F9 key


Options galore!






A Plethora of voltage settings for a mATX!






PC Health with the usual PWM fan control settings


CMOS Reloaded - Four banks to save to with options to auto select in the event of a bad boot and auto save successful boot

[Johnny Bravo]

600FSB 32M stable


Some Crossfire action care of two HD4870 cards - how about 24.5K 3DMark06 on a mATX box

thxs for sharing
Indeed, your ES sample is not similar to the retail one: no heatpipe nore ez switch

[Solarfall]

[Leeghoofd]

my next board

[grungero]

Foxconn and DFI are one?

[MacClipper]

Thanks for the nice shots!

@mund

Foxconn just manufactures parts and stuff. All boards will pretty much have foxconn made components.

Excuse me while I go fap. Unless Asus can answer this board with something equal, this is going to be my next board. Please tell me memory settings allow tRC of 45 or higher. I believe ITOX and DFI are one, and that box looks like a generic ITOX box. We use ITOX boards, unfortunately they suck and are like the exact opposite of their DFI bretheren.

Thanks for the pics.

I do hope DFI doesn't go down now that Foxconn have bought some of the minds . This and the new DK revisions are fantastic signs.

Foxconn and DFI are unrelated companies. The socket protector is sourced from Foxconn and is why it bears their name. ITOX is a U.S affiliate of DFI and has been since 1987. DFI sells their ACP boards under the ITOX name.

AHH! I've been waiting for this board. If I can find an etailer with them in stock then I'll order it immediately!

[goldylocks]

Thanks for the good info. cant wait to see the performance results. Thanks

[fireice2]

Monster MATX board! Good to see that the board has all sorts of tweaking options.

[WhiteFireDragon]

a few threads on here already got over 600fsb for this board. cant wait for launch! finally a real gaming board in mATX size

[BulldogPO]

Very interesting board, propably going to replace my Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R on my HTPC

[Clunk]

Looks awesome, great job mate

I heard that Foxconn offered more money and a fair few DFI staff went. I could have heard something about nothing though

Looks like an excellent matx board. Might have to pick up one of these to play with

[YMAA]

Looks nice! I'd like to know how it handles quads though...one reason why I decided not to wait for this board and went for a P5Q-D

[darthcani]

release date for the T2RS version ???? im waiting for one ....

Motherboardro.com is taking preorders, here. Steep price though.
