Most Favorable Review

Nice board overall

DFI BloodIron P35-T2RL LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
DFI BloodIron P35-T2RL LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: good stable board, really high fsb potential. No squealing.

Cons: Wouldn't boot from a sata dvd drive. plopped in a ide drive and it went fine.

Overall Review: I'm more than an avid overclocker. Fist boot on this board was 500fsb with an l628b e6600. While this board isnt wonders for quad clocking, dual core clocking is insane. Best board for the price if you ask me.

Most Critical Review

8800gtx owners look elsewhere

SilverStone ST85F 850 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
SilverStone ST85F 850 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Well, the modular cables are nice, and running my older two 7800gt's were just fine.

Cons: Once upgrading to a single 8800gtx i immediatly experienced the same problems the other people have reported. Messages saying not enough power was being delivered so that it underclocked the card.

Overall Review: I made a mistake buying this before there were through reviews for this product, hopefully others wont make the same mistake.

Very Solid Product

Pros: Very high read speeds (around 220mb/s) very low access times. An amazing product, especially for laptops.

Cons: Nothing in the least.

Update

Pros: I am updating my review of this motherboard, as i have previously gave it only a 4. I had some pretty bad issues getting uguru settings to save causing some serious problems. After quite a bit of testings, it turned out my power supply had quite a large fluctuation on 5v rail. After replacing my old supply with a pc p&c 750 quad, all issues have cleared up. I have in all honesty never been this impressed with a board as i am with this one. I run 24x7 stable with my e6600 500x7. All running on air makes it an amazingly quick system.

Cons: Placing a fan next to the pwm section is almost a must if you plan on exceeding 400fsb. Do yourself a favor and get one, you will not regret it.

p965 correction

Pros: Just a note to the person below me. Because it is a p965 board, it does not mean you cannot boot from a sata optical. I own an Abit quad gt which is based on the p965 and it booted from a sata optical drive the very first time a tried.

Cons: Don't spread mis-information.

Ignorance Posted by Others

Pros: Wonderfully stable, amazing clocks, beautiful board, awsome layout..... 24/7-515fsb

Cons: Took a while for abit to respond to many of the problems, but they are being worked out.

Overall Review: Saying that most can't get their boards started is just plain ignorant. Unless you recieve a dead board, i bought three and all booted up perfectly each time. Beta bioses have elminated almost all bugs, with an offical update out soon.
