Pros: Lots of overclocking options in BIOS, much more than any motherboard I've previously owned. I especially like that there are a lot of voltage options. Got my W3520 up to 3.46 GHz on only 1.088 Vcore!
Color scheme looks cool, especially under blue LEDs
Works with Xeons (3500 series, not sure about 5500 series though)
Cons: Initially had problems with the multiplier being set too low in Windows 7. but an update to the latest beta bios fixed this problem.
little choice in undervolting options, do not buy this board if you plan on running stock settings, and undervolting.
Onboard audio chip will most likely block an expansion slot, if you choose to use it instead of a PCI Soundcard
Other Thoughts: be careful with the flame freezer, it sticks out of the back of your case, and can be wobbly because it fits loose. it will break off ON THE MOBO INSIDE the case if you bang it too hard and/or step on it by accident. I don't know how much it actually helps with temps, but every little bit helps in my opinion

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: DFI quality. Thermalright chipset heatsink! Great sounding audio module! on board error LEDs. Great OC features.
Cons: slow BIOS updates, won't turn on from keyboard as my last few DFI boards, Thermalright heatsink interferes with slot 1 for audio module, and my ribbon cable reaches slot 1 no problem. slot 1 is an issue for all boards and only seen 1 board have a slot 1 PCIe slot and NB was in the way for almost anything.
Other Thoughts: Very nice BIOS layout this time around. Past BIOSes have had too many options to tweak, but this one is just right and easy to fine tune without hours/days of testing. I loved it so much I bought a second one for my backup. If you have multiple video cards you may need to tweak the Memory Lowgap in the DRAM Timings section. I've had good luck with 2176 for 2-way SLI and 3072 for 4-way SLI.

Pros: Someone made money off this board
Cons: .... it wasn't me.
Other Thoughts: Zero support for problems. DFI DOES NOT ANSWER EMAILS, period. Product warranty is worthless. I cannot get replies to any email sent to any DFI support addresses. I can only hope no one else gets suckered into buying these bu++ ugly boards. I will tell anyone who will listen about DFI's zero support policy. You buy a DFI product do not expect any warranty or support.
