Start-up screen BIOS’ main page BIOS’ options The CPU FSB- 200 to 700MHz Boot up Clock from 100 to 400 MHz This function is to let the clocking can lock in a no. that you pick in Boot-up clock function. It helps to increase the success rate when extreme OC. DRAM multiplier ratio CPU Feature DRAM Timing, I think this is DFI’s expertise. According to each option to adjust, maybe you can gain a highest OC record. |
Voltage related page CPU Voltage +12.5 to 787.5mV DDRII voltage -1.800 to 3.375V PC Health Status The DK and UT version’s BIOS are almost the same. But DK version doesn’t have “Vcore Droop Control” option The Test details CPU:INTEL Core 2 Extreme QX6800 MB: DFI LANParty DK P35 T2RS DRAM:CORSAIR Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF VGA:ELSA 8800GT 512M HD:Seagate 7200.10 320G POWER:Corsair VX450W Power Supply Cooler:Thermaltake V1 The DFI monitoring software and utility install pages. Stable in FSB500 (Quad core) CPU: 500X7=>3500 MHz 1.28V DDRII: 1000 CL4 4-3-9 About 3D 8800GT 600/ 1800 3DMARK2003 3DMARK2005 3DMARK2006 |
About DRAM CPU: 400X8=>3200Mhz DDRII: 1200 CL5 5-5-15 1.98V Steady in Dual SP 2004 Blend mode DDRII 1200 CL4 4-4-9 2.47V CPU: 400X9=>3600Mhz DDRII 1200 CL4 4-4-9 Performance and bandwidth After I spent a lot of time to adjust a suitable “Clock fine delay” value, the system ends up in 400/ 1200MHz stably(further, it reached CL4) QX6800, the limit of FSB: 515MHz A single Super PI 32M finished stably! 45nm E8500 4G 1.28V, Dual SP2004 finished stably. The latest Nov. BIOS of DK P35 supports 45nm CPU. Merits: 1)There is an ID of “Dark” from outside to inside. Looks good 2)All in solid capacitors and on board Power/ Reset button and those Mosfit heat sink 3)Rich Bios options for tweaking, particularly in DRAM’s ratio 4)The FSB record is almost the fastest of all P35 boards in market. It rocks me when DRAM can reach 1200 & CL4 level. 5)High C/P ratio in DFI LANParty series Drawbacks: 1)The timing of launching this model is a bit too late to others in market 2)DFI product is being harder to find in channels, it’s inconvenience to buy 3)Although the 3-way Crossfire is not that popular in market yet, but if the board has one more PCIe x16 slot, the expansibility must be better. I tried to use QX6800 CPU for a record of DK P35, but my highest record is only FSB485MHz. Aside from this, the performance of Dual core CPU is a bit weaker than UT P35. But you still can reach FSB550 to 580 if your CPU is good enough. DFI LANParty DK P35 Series provides a “overclockable” BIOS and features, that make users have an good OC environment; DFI features 4-phase PWM this time. Although it looks a bit weak, but it equipped with 16 mosfit within which gains a stronger performance than 6, 8-phase digital PWM. It has been a long time that DFI created a high C/P ratio model like NF4 Ultra-D. DK P35 is a similar model and has good performance too. Hope DFI could continue to launch more and more good C/P ratio models to satisfy users. Next Review of mine. Thermaltake QFan Toughpower 650W |
Great work windwithme ! Thank you very much for sharing :ws: |
