DFI Intel Boards?

[EGBTMagus]

Has anyone have any experiance with the new DFI boards? I use to use them back when I had an AMD system but when I went Core 2 I bought an Asus P5N32-E SLi Plus and well Im not happy with it. I really want to go back to DFI but didn't know how their current boards were like.

How are the Abit ones aswell? I wana take my e6850 to 3.8+ so im looking for a decent board.

I haven't liked DFI in a long time. Go with Asus, Gigabyte, or Abit if you're going for a P35 board.

I have the DFI Lanparty Ultra-D for 939's, which is a fantastic board that overclocks nicely. If you have the time, wait for some reviews to come out on this new board...what the hail it took them so long for a p35 board, not to mention to have it in different versions...I have no friggin idea. With the x38 boards emerging soon, p35's might be yesterday's news, so you have that to consider as well if you want to go with DFI.

That said, I have the abit IP35 pro board with an e6850 @ 3.78 ghz. I haven't had time to get it up further. It was easy to get it this far but wasn't easy to get it stable higher, so I set it aside for now. It is used for heavy database calc work and needs to be extremely stable like it is now, so I might just keep it here.

Yeah I saw that one but only one place is selling it right now for over $300 which is more then I want to spend on a motherboard... That looks like its alittle extreme for me.

It is too much money. You can't really expect that it will magically make your overclock go from 3.4Ghz to 3.8Ghz do you? All the P35 boards are about the same. You have to look at value more than anything else now.

Im pretty much trying to figure out which one between the Abit IP35 Pro and the DFI P35 Infinity. They both look like really good boards for my needs...
