DFI Launches the INFINITY P965 Motherboard

The Intel based INFINITY P965 motherboard provides users with a perfect solution that not only offers tremendously high performance and “over-clockablity” but also boosts an extremely attractive price. DFI has chosen to use the Intel P965 + ICH8R chipsets to allow the board to support the most advance processors (including Core 2 Quad), DDRII-800 and Crossfire functions. Although the motherboard is a bit late arriving to the market the motherboard and BIOS are brilliantly designed to offer users unsurpassed over-clocking that will not disappoint even the most advanced overclocker. In addition DFI has redesigned the packaging to further accent the fact that DFI's Infinity series have entered the next generation of gaming performance.





A chipset solution that adopts Intel P965 + ICH8R
DFI's INFINITY P965 motherboard adopted Intel's P965 chipset and did not miss a beat. The P965 is commonly regarded as “Conroe's sole platform” amongst the enthusiasts' community. The chipset embraces Intel's “Fast Memory Access Technology” to provide enhanced processing speed and supports Microsoft's newest operating system, Windows Vista. ICH8R is essentially an advanced and upgraded edition of ICH7R. It provides support for more USB and SATA slots, both in quantity and performance. Further it supports the newest technologies such as iAMT and QST. In addition the ICH8R is the most advance chipset in its family and provides enhanced RAID functionality and therefore it supports RAID 0, 1, 0+1, and 5 categories.

4 Phases Digital PWM
Obviously since DFI is never content to use inferior components they have chosen to use the advanced 4-phase digital PWM instead of the ordinary 3-phase PWM that is commonly seen in the market these days. A digital PWM supplies components with stabilized current which is a necessity for all enthusiasts and is extremely important when the time comes to select the right type of motherboard for gaming. In addition do to its design the digital PWM works without the worry of capacitor explosion and electrolyte leakage, it gives every enthusiast unlimited freedom from fear while he is overclocking or gaming.

Supports ATI Crossfire multi-rendering
It can not be denied that Crossfire technology has brought revolutionary changes to the way 3D technologies work. Nowadays, hardcore gamers largely choose to use Crossfire technologies to provide them with the ultimate in 3D rendering while gaming. Crossfire technology certainly differentiates advanced hardcore gamers from the beginners. And since the Infinity P965 supports 2 Crossfire VGA cards (one of the PCI slots runs with x16, while the other runs with x4) it allows users to utilize the best 3D rendering technology in the market.

Uses entirely solid aluminum capacitors (INFINITY P965-S Edition)
For an added level of performance DFI has implement the use of all solid aluminum capacitors on the INFINITY P965-S. Solid aluminum capacitors provide high reliability and durability even under the most demanding of circumstances. Enthusiasts prefer solid aluminum capacitors because they know that this will allow the motherboard to work impressively even during over-clocking and without the worry of problems such as capacitor explosion or electrolyte leakage.

8 Channels high-definition audio
Besides the realistic visual effect and fabulous 3D graphics, the sound performance is another factor that attracts gamers' attention. Just imagine yourself submerged in the dynamics of gaming with full 3D graphics and lifelike sound effects; if you're not careful you might not be able to tell reality from fantasy which only leads to the thrilling experience provide by this board. That's why the INFINITY P965 adopted the 8–channel Azalea audio CODEC which provides you with the most unforgettable gaming experience of your life.

Fully supports Windows Vista
The brand new Operation system Microsoft Vista, it provides faster graphic process ability. In addition, Vista also brings a fresh experience to users about on-line security, wireless resources sharing and entertainments. DFI INFINITY P965 is fully supports Microsoft Vista.

Other Features
Four years ago, DFI was the first-in-industry to offer EZ switches for users. Now INFINITY P965 still provides the same traditional EZ on & off to let an enthusiast enjoy over-clocking with or without a computer casing. Genie BIOS of DFI motherboard is versatile at various voltage levels and settings. It is an “all time favorite” feature for enthusiasts. Other special features include high speed DDRII-800 memory support. The capacity can go up to a gigantic 8GB.

To suit the needs of enthusiasts, DFI has prepared two editions of P965 at the press time. INFINITY P965-S fully adopts aluminum solid capacitors on it board while the INFINITY P965 is the cost/performance edition without solid capacitors.

se o preço for a volta de 150€ e olhando aos resultados ja revelados na XS entre outros para mim parece-me a melhor compra nesta gama de boards :)




Waht's MOBO can let QX6700 reach FSB490?DFI Infinity P965!

Conselho 1:

Não te fies nos resultados da XS, como se sabe é tudo biased e hand picked...

Para mim o que tem que ter é:

Baixo ou nenhum Droop, boa estabilidade, bom preço e também uma boa facilidade e capacidade de OC...

pois , se for igual a irma mais velha a DFI RD600 é a melhor board no mercdo no que toca a vdroop ( mto pouco ou Nulo mesmo)


capacidade de OC ,para os quad core é sabido que chipset 965 é mesmo o melhor que ha e ao ver esses testes conseguiram 490 FSB com um QX6700 nesta board

á volta de 500/515 FSB ESTAVEIS também nao me parece mau


Ter ICH8R tb me parece bem numa board gama media , digital PWM e solid capacitators tb me parece bem , so falta mesmo saber o preço , se vier a uns 150€ parece-me uma excelente escolha :) .




edit: a razao por ter melhor desempenho que a p5b deluxe é o strap , mesmo aos 500FSB ser o 1066 e na P5B deluxe é o 1333 :)

1st, 500+ FSB are not hard to find, but clock by clock this thing beats Asus P5B-Dx by a fair margin, you just need some more reading. ^^

2nd, reason for the above might be it still stays on 1066 strap in reaching 500+ FSB, tell me a where a P5B-Dx does 500+ on 1066 strap unmodded?

So in the end, you got a P965 board that outperforms even 975X and any other chipsets out there at the moment, with the bonus of extremely overclockable.

Their engineering is simply amazing ^^ !


It's safe to say the key to the primilinary success in overclocking of the Infinity 965 is the tweaking job on NB latencies. It runs much tighter and produces a huge bandwidth boost, this is clearly demonstrated in the comparison tests against P5B-Dx at the same clocks/FSB/mem. Infinity got over 10.5MB/s while P5B-Dx scored over 9.2MB/s. My guess is Infinity goes nuts on 1066 strap while P5B-Dx needs 1333 to run this kind of FSB (~540)

And he (coolaler) did 32MB runs as well, I'm aware this is not the best bench for stability, but if the whole system isn't stable enough (CPU/mem/NB) then it's bound to fail, however the board didn't fail.

If you are still unsure, you could always ask for an Orthos bench from him (not here though). However, until I see more impressive Pi times with Abit QuadGT, this DFI board is about the fastest scorer yet. Many boards can do 500+, but at 500+ which is the fastest, is what we are concerned here. (I'd rather get a 500FSB board that makes a 4Ghz Allendale do 12s 1M, rather than a 700FSB board that scores 15s same everything else )

Assim que sair para o mercado, eu dou uma voltinha com ela e vejo se é realmente assim...

Já lá vai o tempo das isenções desses senhores!

Cumprimentos

LPC

PS: 550 fsb fazia eu na minha p5b-dlx... logo não sei se é assim algo do outro mundo...

O que poderá ser interessante, é o strap não mudar, e manter o nível de Overclockabilidade...

Veremos...
 
570 faz a minha, limitada pelas memórias.

O interessante seria ter-se controlo sobre o strap, isso sim!

Penso que a ABit AW9 Max 975 podes escolher o strap , mas nao tendo essa opçao prefiro ter uma board com grande capacidade OC ( 500FSB +) e o strap ficar sempre a 1066 do que ter grande capacidade de OC mas o strap mudar de 1066 para 1333


os resultados no superpi desta DFI 965 batem por larga margem a p5B Dlx e sao semelhantes ao chipset 975 devido a esse mesmo fctor , o strap ser sempre 1066 ( timings chipset mais "apertados") mesmo acima dos 500 FSB

outra coisa que gostei é que mesmo o strap estando sempre a 1066 logo timings mais apertados no chipset , maior esforço do mesmo , logo temps mais altas do chipset , e mesmo assim vendo a review do coolaler a temp ronda os 28c o que é excelente

afinal a temp chipset com E6300 @ 3750Mhz sao a volta de 40c/45c PASSIVO , mesmo assim é excelente







com airflow parece descer para cerca dos 30c (E6600@4Ghz)
