DFI LP Dk X48-T2RS Intel X48 ATX LGA775 DDR2 2PCI-E CrossFire SATA2 Sound GBLAN Motherboard

Comment:
I bought this DFI because I wanted a more enthusiast-oriented board. The BIOS certainly doesn't disappoint, it has all the tools and tweaking options needed to push a chip hard. It can certainly be daunting upon first look, so beginners beware.Right now, I've hit a wall at 430fsb on a Q9550 (3.65GHz). I might be able to hit 440fsb with a little (read: lots) more tweaking, but apparently most quads won't do more that ~430fsb on any DFI boards. I was expecting a little more seeing as my last board (P5K Premium) hit 475fsb with a Q6600 easily. This board requires slightly higher voltages to reach high fsb. I might get a E8500 to throw in here cause the 45nm dual cores OC way higher than the quads.Anyway 3.65GHz is pretty good, more than I really need. I didn't have $350+ for a MB and so for the price this was a good buy. I like the UV reactive slots, too. 4/5 stars This review was modfied by poster t 09-08-08 07:21 PM This review was modfied by poster u 09-08-08 07:08 PM This review was modfied by poster @ 09-08-08 07:18 PM
