Oooh Ahhhh!

I wonder if you will be able to clock those G.Skills higher on the DFI "??"

Time will tell! :D

From what I've seen, guys are hitting good OC's with decent voltage and lower than expected timings...so we'll see if I have the same luck! If not I'm content with still maintaining 1000 w/2.15v @ 4-4-4-12.

I've had my eye on this board for a while. Seems really nice. But tell me, does it support 45nm dual/quads? That would be a major plus. :)

I just wish I could find someone who would be willing to do an even up trade AW9D-Max for IP35-e or MSI P35 Neo 2.

I am pretty sure it does, I've heard it boots an 8400 out of the box. I also know there's BIOS updates out already to ensure compatability with the new chips coming out.

I hope that Newegg, MBPro and whomever besides NCIX get's more and can sell em cheaper so more people can get one, it seems the user base on these is not very large...but price/availability could change that...

yeah, the "dark" supports 45nm... it was a strange thing to see that even the blood iron supports it. Doesn't say it on Newegg, but it does on the box it self. Dfi is a company that gives out just enough so it doesn't "flood" the market with their product. And reason for that?!? so there isn't more boards out there then what is needed.. I've found on newegg around 71 socket 775 boards just for asus alone.. Whats the reason for that!?!? While Dfi there is 9 I believe. They just know how to work with their customers and fix a prefect product.. And as for their customer service, Sneeky had to rma his blood iron, so we'll see how that turns up!

I don't understand why DFI wouldn't want to sell as many boards as possible. The whole time I spent looking for motherboards, up untill buying my Asus, finding a DFI was far and few between. Either way they are great OC'ers.

Just getting up and running! Sorry no pics from a camera atm...don't have my x-fer cable for da camera.

Had to go to FedEx warehouse to get my MB, they changed the shipping date to Monday! I said no way...

So far so good, set the FSB at 500, same voltages as on P5B for CPU/RAM (incl timings)...also increased NB voltage by one step...just in case. So far it's very stable and a nice board to work with. The provided SATA cables feel skimpy compared to the Asus cables, but oh well. The back panel doesn't align correctly, which causes the CMOS jumper to get kinda stuck and need to be jammed back in...but I have a fix for that...no biggie. Aside from that I have no issues, and the ones I've listed are minor. Lovin the board so far and just happy to be back up and running!

I will post back with comparisons to my P5B Deluxe and see if this P35 is worth the investment!

Well, day 2.5 now and so far, so good. 500FSB was the easiest yet on any MB I've tried. I have some old pics from my P5B build, but some things have changed here and there...XP SP2 vs SP 3 RC2 (I notice a difference, some claim not to...but I also did a fresh install...I noticed a difference with RC1 on a 4 month+ old install)...the memory options are just mind boggling...check out the EverestMemory picture for how much Everest reads...insanity! I just set the basic timings (4-4-4-12) and voltages for CPU, Mem, and a small increase on NB voltage. My x1950xtx is bios modded for 716/1080 3D Profile with 1.55v VDDC (only voltage that can be adjusted in RaBiT...anyone got a way to edit the other 3 voltages options in BIOS???? I've done a lot of searching to no avail...), I will continue to tune it's overclock and maybe it's memory timings as things progress.

A couple of minor issues, my AC Freezer 7 Pro just barely clears the NB cooler (1-2mm spacing between fins, .5-1mm between fan and cooler) when set to exhuast out of the rear exhaust fan, I am considering going vertically to allow more airflow around the NB area. The memory DIMMS are closer to the CPU socket, so my Corsair XMS airflow is now touching the CPU cooler fan to cover my memory in DIMMS 2 & 4, cooling does not seem affected by this though so I'm not worried one bit, and this MB has 5 Fan headers, 3 are controllable...it only advertises having 3...don't be fooled. My MB also has the NB warranty sticker, so I won't be replacing the NB sink any time soon, just in case something goes south.

The layout for the 24-pin and 8-pin work okay with my Antec900 and Corsair HX520, the 8-pin power cable is zip-tied to my rear 120mmfan, but goes over my x1950xtx S1 cooler, so no fan in the side window (the S1 protrudes into that area anyways, plus I prefer to have side venting and front/rear airflow bias.

The BIOS is very easy to use, and has A LOT of settings, but if you know the basics, to get a good overclock there is minimal adjustments needed beyond upping the FSB. The Memory divider system has a nice variety, and some may be fooled, but 1:1 is 333/667, to verify it will tell you the target Memory speed below this setting, so if you are running a 1066 proc at stock 266fsb, the memory will read 533 at the 333/667 (1:1) ratio.

The voltage options are nice to have and easy to use, plus the voltage readouts seem pretty stable, vcore droop is very livable...and I've had no issues using EIST, C1E, TM with my current OC. It kicks right up to 1.344 and stays there under load. The power sinks seem to stay pretty cool, but I did notice the NB does heat up quite a bit...but not to the point I'd be worried, my P5B Deluxe NB ran hotter before I got the Corsair XMS.

So far my overall impression of this board is of a good quality board at a mid-range price with plentiful OC features and well worth consideration if planning to purchase a P35 board. I am planning to further tune my OC and memory to see what more I can get out of it, and I'm still debating aiming my CPU cooler vertically to exhuast towards the 200mm exhuast fan...my cores are running around mid 20's idle and upper40s lower 50s under load with Orthos Pri.9, small ffts...did an 8 hour run w/o issues last night. I will report more when I do some more testing and tuning! There's also a floppy power connector above the PCI-e 16X slot near the NB for 5v/12v...from what I read it says if there is a second vid card to hook it up, but since this board only has 1 vid card slot...I'm curious as to how this may help voltage supply on the board... I'm sure the users with Blood Iron's out there can also benefit and help in the OC/tuning areas as they have similar specs, bioses, NB coolers, etc. So maybe we can start a new DFI P35 Thread or something.

Here are my current results, the memory bandwidth has improved some, the graphics benches are minimal, about a 1k-2k improvement in AQ3 and 200pts in 3dM06 (when I find the pics I will upload them for my older results).:

wow man, looks like my system! I am happy that your happy with the board! funny thing is i was thinking of when you where going to post your results, been waiting. I wasn't able to get my memory to 3-3-3-10 stable. so i hope you have better luck there.

I had a problem putting the xigmatek cooler on my mobo also. it hits the northbridge, but i don't mind the 3 fins bent for it. nothing broken or so forth.

I don't know about the second video card, thats a strange one there since its designed with one PCI-e slot.. the only thing I can even think of is a physical card.. but off the top of my head I don't know if its a PCI-e slot one, or just a PCI-e 16 one.

Glad to see the good results and a happy man!
