DFI LanParty DK X38-T2R Motherboard Review

“What can I say about the DFI LanParty DK X38-T2RB ? Well, I have to say it's a very good motherboard indeed and I really like it. It may not be as glossy as a Gigabyte, nor does it have all the extras you'll find from a MSI ... but it does offer something different. The overall performance is very good and falls in line with other X38 based motherboards we've tested. In fact, on some of the benchmarks the DK X38-T2RB came very close to the top, outperforming both the Abit and the MSI X38 based motherboards ... but only marginally.

Overclockers will be pleased to know that the Genie BIOS was very easy to use. I was able to overclock our Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 from 2.4Ghz to 3.4Ghz (8x425) with no problems ... all done on air cooling. Increasing the CPU frequency to 425Mhz means the FSB will be rated at 1700Mhz. The DDR2 memory was overclocked to 566Mhz that's equivalent to DDR2-1132 spec, using a ratio of 3:4. All-in-all, I am pleased with the overclocking result. Very good.”
