It's almost half a year when Intel Bearlake chipset launched.
3 top motherboard manufacturers were released different version's P35 platform.
Price is quite reasonable, which are around US$135~160.
That kinds of pricing are popular in the market.

DFI has created 3 different P35 based motherboards.
They are: DFI LP UT P35-T2R/DFI LP LT P35-T2R.
Two high-end models are mostly focus on performance and overclocking.
Later, DFI also released an entry-level version: Blood-Iron P35.
Overclock performance is good as usual. But features and components usage is a quite "entry-level"....

Recently, DFI launched a new LANParty series, called DK.
The LANParty DK P35. It has 3 different versions:
1)full solid capacitor + ICH9R
2)full Japanese capacitors + ICH9R
3)full Japanese capacitors + ICH9
They priced around US$150~170.

The leading character this time is DFI LANParty DK P35's Jap. Caps. + ICH9R version

BIOS pages
This model also has CMOS Reloaded function, it almost the same to high-end model's P35.

Quad-core in FSB500 by 4X Super PI 32M finished!!


Quad-core in FSB522 by 1X Super PI 32M finished!!


I used this QX6800 CPU OC with most P35 boards in the market, it gained around FSB470~480.
Although the highest record with quad-core almost reached 484MHz.

It is hard to imagine that this DK series board can push the FSB limitation to another level. It rocks me.
Hope these 3 version of DK series can be satisfied enthusiast as a different choice!!

this board looks damn cool....if it is indeed under rm600, it's great value...issit on retail here yet?

superb max FSB...

Paging for Almostthere, paging for Almostthere!

purely best bang per buck mobo.

this will be the best P35 single PCIE slot mobo.

is he the one to look for for this board???

DK stand for wat?
Dragon Knight? >.<"
seems like i played too much dota...

but nice board,
the price also very tempting ^,^
RM600-700 really worth of money to get this board...

haha ~ seen windwithme at some many forum~~

even LYN also having the post ~

good review bro~~

No lar, it's because his comments is the best to rely on once there's a new board in the market.

ohya, i like the black PCB a lot,
there is not many mobo in black PCB,
i think only some of high end board from asus are using black colour one,
other brand rarely could find black PCB...
black PCB cool and rocks ^,^
it also make it look so high class~

how about DFI mobo for AMD?..

dk
stand for Drift King FTW!!!!

handpicked proc?? look at those vcore 1.264??

wah, the voltage is low eh...
and even OC-ed at such speed with low voltage,
tat person sure have a nice engineering sample...

waa...myb we can wait until AceCombat get this mobo n try oc it

too bad lately local supplier alphamatic didin't wan to bring in any DFI mobo
wonder why ???

finally a goddamn decent board to replace the Dark. Full caps at USD170/= sounds more like it. Damn blood iron was rubbish and had some limitations which were obviously DFi induced. Tapi why the 8 pin ATX lobang at the back? Haiseh. Shawty......start bulk woi!!!!

That one later I go ask tauke at Viewnet why ok? Don't cry laaa...u can always bulk it ma

very long din see him review in this forum edi
he alway have nice item to review

See, i told you guys sifu almostthere would love this motherboard.

Bulk ahh, nanti aku check check kan ye?

Too bad local demand not much, local usually choose Gaygabyte or Asus

One thing that is still in the dark is about the Phase PWM Controller, is it 4? 6? or 8?

this board is great , beauty than blood iron , red pcb board !

wow nice......... i was thinking bila p965 dark infinity successor coming on.....

btw what is the jumper at the rear IO panel for ? clearing CMOS ?

the 8pin atx socket, really in some bad place....... but hehe might be good for some too.....and the heat sink, so small ......

angle SATA slot + all the orange slots, i love it......it seems the UV effect Lanpart is back.....

but why one 1 pci-e .... give 2 lar, at least can take a bit of advantage as physic proc or something.....

how many phase power?

i think DK stand for Double KILL ... cuz he pAwn gigabyte and asus ??

i hope there's USD150 lanparty coming in malaysia. this price really pwns dark infinity and blood iron.
what's the dimension of this board? is it a smaller mobo like blood iron, or bigger, like dark965?

Well, it shud be normal ATX board from the look of it

dota fanboy spotted
Ya...for P35 series, this 1 kill both of the gigabyte(48x Mhz) and asus.
wondering how hot is the south bridge

Trust me, it won't be at USD150

yep, the red jumper is for CMOS reset which makes it a real convienience. As it is digging thru my rig for the reset jumper is a pain.

Which heatsink you're talking about? NB? Possibly but based on my experience if you redo the thermal paste and make sure there's airflow, it'll do the job well.

Cannot laaa....if got 2xPCI-e means east into LP T2R's sales ma

From the looks of the number of chokes, possibly 4 phase which if is designed well should do job very good.

Looks from the mounting holes to be of standard ATX form factor to me.

sure bro sHawTY can bulk this board

get this mobo and oc it?
i no longer in oc world and windwithme's review is much more better if compared to mine review,he's the best

bro,it's less than rm500

if around USD 150 selling here ,then i can throw my dark away already......

almostthere, the heat sink i meant is the PWM 1....i found quad-core really stressing on the PWM and it get rather hot on my dark.... that puny heat sink may be enough ifu OC it kaw kaw.....

4 phase or 6 phase does not matter that much as long as the PWM is a well built 1 i supposed,

look at that max FSB, whatever they putting on that board, it's sure is working.....bulk it already someone?

wao
nice board there
hope somebody will do the bulk at usd150
haha
day dreaming

Nahh.
I seriously doubt that.

150X3.5=525
THE PRICE EXPECTED 600+-
SHAWTY U BULK THIS THING FOR US LA

sure meh? LAN Party series never been cheap since nForce4 series era.. even the lowest of its class already around 600++ not to mention nForce 4 SLi

but might correct also since this board only has single pci-e

ps: its aint using solid caps aite??

There're 3 variants to choose from, see first post for more details. Hopefully able to get price source.

pay attention to the first page review man

Yeah even if it's between the region of rm600++ it is considered a very good price already.Looking forward to know the price with the full solid caps version of this board.Hopefully it won't be too exp.

cool.. nice board...

$150?That's the price in US.If it's less than RM600,then it's a hawt deal.

I'd doubt it's gonna land here at USD150/=. I'm wagering about RM550/= for solid caps version. And if the PWM sink, well I'd need to have a peek at what's under the sinks to say for sure since we'd need to see what MOSFET's it uses and how it's mounted to the mobo. Then we can really say whether it's sufficient. But then again, nothing an MX1 and active cooling can't help

i heard will land on my by disember

really a nice mobo indeed hope can get more info when the board is lunch here

If u guys wan it to reach local Malaysia distri, u need to fill up the demand of 50 units from the whole malaysia, then the distri will bring in. If not, then we'll need wait for other bulkers.


From Singapore, prices i manage to get is above RM 600 but below RM 700 for this DK version, with full solid caps, without full solid caps will be cheaper. Also will have many other models including the X38-series and 790FX-series.

Those who wants the stocks, look at the bulk section, soon will pop up a thread for it.

Stocks ETA around near Christmas week.

x38 series..........nice..........waiting for ur bulk......

wander how much it'll go.......

50 units
mean with all other retail shop rite

Nice mobo though..with a nice price...really worth getting if the price is around rm600++..

Yeah this is nice mobo, but we'll discuss the pricing and stuffs when its available later on the bulk thread. I'm not sure will i handle the bulk or another forumer, but just keep a look out on it.

Surely for an LP board, anything around RM 600 is a good buy. For me, i'm aiming for 1 oledi haha. Lets hope DFI won't disappoint us.


nelienuxe_sara: Yes bro, 50 MOQ to be shared among all the retailers. haha, no just me. If just me, i can be distri oledi. haha


LExus65: This is X38 version is the full solid caps version, but it'll be around RM 1.1K and above I supposed, still cheaper than the Maximus, but availability is the main issue now. hehe

i think u start a bulk for this mobo then give ur distro to make this board land here on our beloved my faster haha
rm 50 deposit is good enough rite... hehe

DFI always came out crazier board with maximum overclock-ability This time was 2l front side bus, I totally don't belive this before I see the CPU-Z snapshot.
