DFI P35 T2R

[S&M]

Intel's P35 chipset is making great impression, as it stands to all the
expectations we had from it, as the DFI P35 T2R we used wins in most of
our benchmarks easily, and beats it's competitors, and keeps DFI record
with very successful motherboards with everything related to
overclocking.
We can say for sure that DFI released a very successful product, which
will help her make a strong re-entrance to Intel's market, where it haven’t
showed any dominant presence so far.
Performance :
As we said , The expectations we had from the DFI P35-T2R were high,
but we have seen that the motherboard is showing an excellent
performance , the new chipset also gives better performance , but the
differences are not that high that if you have a 965 chipset you need to
go out a new motherboard.
Final Score – 9/10.

Pricing :
The price of the DFI P35-T2R (around 300$ in Israel) stands in line with
the rest of high end P35 motherboards, and considering the rich bundle
that comes with the motherboard, The price is very suitable for this kind
of product.
Final Score – 8.5/10.

Motherboard design and Package :
As we mentioned during the whole review, the DFI P35-T2R package is
very unique and interesting, considering the bundle it's coming with.
DFI is changing attitude and comes with a pretty solid designed package,
while the motherboards enjoys an outstanding layout , as each connector
on the motherboard is places in excellent location, and last thing –
don't forget the UV reactive slots, so if you have a case with a window,
DFI P35-T2R is a great option for you …
Final Score – 10/10.

Verdict :
The P35-T2R stands in front line with everything related to performance,
the supplied bundle is impressive, and the new sound card that comes
with it, as well as new cooling solutions, and UV reactive design - gives
the motherboard extra value.
As for the P35 chipset, it's performing excellent , but the main problem of
this motherboard is the fact that X38 motherboards are just around the
corner, and even DFI will probably release a product based on this
chipset, to give a strong competition to the P35 motherboards.


Final Score : 9/10.
