3 Year Mfr warranty, see bottom of specs page below

3 yr warranty

Thanks. I noticed that. That is on motherboardpro's site though. I couldnt find any info on DFI about it. For some odd reason I dont remember dfi having 3 years warranty. Anyways, was just wondering. I guess they have 3 years. Sweet.

I need some help understanding the DFI offerings. I have two 939 UltraD systems now, and like DFI. I want to assemble a third overclocked C2D system.

When I bought the UltraD systems, the "Infinity" line was the "economy" line, with reportedly thinner PCB, and lower quality capacitors and other components. The "LANParty" line was the premium, overclocking oriented line, with better, Japanese-made components.

Our esteemed reviewer has already referenced the thinness of the Infinity 965 board. Is there, or will there be a LANParty version that will be released soon? Or a DFI 775 socket board that is the best for OC?

I realize marketing names are not what makes a MB a good overclocker. If the Infinity board works well, it works well. My thought is, is there the equivalent of the Ultra-D for socket 775, any chipset?

I want single GPU, high quality components, great OC support.

I just installed one and it is a bigger MB than a DS3, the thickness of the board appears to be the same. A review comments on the thickness

""One of the things DFI was criticized about was that the old green PCB was thin. Well, the new PCB looks much better and is thicker.""

Thx, B

Our P35 chipset article tomorrow will just have the Quad Core but the DFI P965 is the featured board for the P965 chipset. We will have a P35 board roundup right before Computex that will include the E4300, E6300, E6420, E6600, and X6800 CPUs for overclocking comparisons.

Any update on the forthcoming review?

If I could get the darn thing to work I'd be glad to offer some feedback but every time I power it on it beeps for 3 seconds, goes silent for a few seconds, beeps for 3 seconds, goes silent for a few seconds (and keeps doing this until you shut it down ). I have it reduced my components to one stick of RAM (Gkill PC6400), the CPU (E6600), the PSU (Corsair 520) and my vid card (EVGA GTX) but it still won't boot correctly....

Edit: and it wouldnt recognize my trusty PS/2 keyboard the ONE time it boot boot into the BIOS.
