depends on what is more important to you. Isit max FSB or max bandwidth. I do find it surprising DFi's using ceramics for the SB's sink but good idea though. BTW, what's those jumper in between PCI-E 1 and 2 for?

PS: In terms of aesthethics, I think I like this board better compared to the 975X Inifnity. Tong sampah hijau, blergh

Euro 152.99...thank you but too little too late for DFi this time. And that dunno for the solid caps or for normal caps pricing

EDIT: TYpo, didn't realise it earlier

750 for solid caps version? And this is distributor price right? If that's the case, Abit AB9 Quad GT at bulk prices looks like a bargain in comparison

Prob is with the Quad GT getting better clocks as Abit improves on their BIOS, it's harder to justify for the DFi especially when you consider that it's gonna be a good 50-100 more once it arrives retail

I've been told to sway from the Asus commando (i'm picturing it to be a no fuss, stable high performance board with passive cooling and 1333Mhz support) to this DFI P965-S Dark board. Besides stellar OC potential (you'd need good RAM anyway) and price difference any other things I should know about this DFI board ?
*
First of all, if we're gonna talk price per performance, the Dark is a much better option even at retail prices. And after that if you wanna go passive cooling, A HR-03 or a NC-U6 wouldn't add up much to your overall cost and would be a much better solution. And in terms of OC, this baby seems to hold well at high clocks without resorting to a 1333Mhz strap

The DFI is also passively cooled right ? that ceramic HS. Ok, performance and price
are covered, what about out of teh box stability ? Seems like a few of you are experiencing issues.

mine's so far stable at stock since got no time to OC it yet. But those initial boot issues have been cured and yes, I'm using 411 now
