Overclocking/Overclocking Tests by windwithme @ 2007-08-21

DFI launches their affordable P35 based Intel board, nick-named Blood-Iron. We take a look at how high it can soar when pushed to the limit in this overclocking test.

Closer Look at the Board

Closer look at the Blood-Iron

As expected, the PCB of the Blood-Iron is red, the board is not full ATX size, with room to spare.

At the lower left corner of the board we find:

1 x PCI-E X16

2 x PCI-E X1

3 x PCI

The audio codec is a Realtek ALC885, which supports 7.1ch. This model is higher end than ALC888. LAN chip is a Marvell 88E8053.

At the lower right side of the board:

6 x SATAII (SouthBridge used is an Intel ICH9R)

1 x Floppy (almost no one needs it today)

The upper right corner of the board:

1 x IDE (JMicron JMB368)

4 x DIMM DDRII, supports 533/667/800, maximum up to 1066

4-phase digital PWM, all Japanese solid capacitors around it.

IO interface has no less than 6 x USB2.0 and S/PDIF connector, the RED jumper is easy access to Clear CMOS ! nifty if you have the system installed in case :)

the first really interesting DFI board since a loooong time, 140$ and 560 FSB is a combination that is hard to miss

Calling a MSI board a competitor is rather funny tough, roughest competition comes from sub 100 $ Gigabyte boards based on the P35 chipset.
