BIOS related… CPU related options Main setting page CPU FSB range is from 266 to 700MHz DRAM Frequency: 533/ 667/ 800 DDR2 details settings Voltage page The highest voltage is 0.7875V DDR2 has a wide range for voltage, the highest can reach 3.375V The Infinity series BIOS, always simplify than LANParty a bit. The good thing of its BIOS is: it is easier than LP series for tweaking. And the OC ability is not bad too. Infinity is suitable for mainstream gamers And users. |

Its FSB can reach more than 500MHz steady. In addition, the performance of the DDR2 is excellent too. The result of DDR2 in Super PI test is outperformed; I think it was due to DFI works really hard to the arrangement of DDR2’s parameter. For my personal point of view, I think this board has two things can be improved: About the DRAM, DDR2 under 1020, it needs 2.2 to 2.35V normally. If you want to reach DDRII 1060 or above. It might need 2.6V voltage at the end. Frankly, it’s not easy to break the bottleneck of DDRII1100. So, these are something important to an excellent performance. Maybe it’s too damn for DFI hard to choose whether a average Joe performance with a sky-high DDRII bus clock or a real high performance with a average DDRII record(around 1060 to 1080). I believe it’s a difficult decision before Infinity P965 official launch. No matter how, DFI P965 has a friendly and powerful BIOS setting. It is easy to reach a high FSB and outcome a splendid performance. I heard that the street price is possible around USD$140. If this is true, Infinity P965 is a super high C/P ratio motherboard for both overclocking and high-end gaming. |
How about vdroop on this board? Nice job!! Thanks. |

Will we ever see this board in retail stores? |
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136034 $139; It was in stock a minute ago. This has become a hot item already. With DDR2 price dropped ~$130 for DDR2-800, E6420 @$183 on April 22, it will be really tempting to tasting C2D. |

available here in Belgium too, at computersmsa's shop: http://www.compumsa.be/ |
Is this board better than the DFI 975X/G? The latter is only 119 euro @ .de |
I've read boot problem with SATA/Raid, and being sensitive to certain PSU. Otherwise, it seems to be very good in ocing. I have not found a reliable C2D board- from what I gathered: GB DS3 is 50/50 in reliablility P5B with audio problem (vdroop is no big deal) NV 680 too expensive NV 650 half and half This one seems to be a cut above. Yet, availability is still an issue. Hopefully, DFI is aware of problem and attempting to correct them before mass release to retailer. |

Yes I did .... they cost more then 965 and lower FSB, right? |
yes, but reliable as hell:) |
Not waterproof tough :( |
if you used the correct liquid it is |

If you're going for full stock, just pick a board that has the features you need (965/975/680/650 chipset) and isn't buggy ;) |
I wonder how many people that actually choose their system themselves run it on stock performance. |
Do I count?:) MSI K8N Neo running at stock here; |
