Solid overclocking MBStrengths: overclockbility, Firewire port, fanless northbridge Weakness: old chipset, needs bios update for newer CPUs The onboard BIOS has the double restarting issue, which is solved by upgrading to the latest version. The fanless NB is about 5-10 degrees above CPU core temp during normal usage and never gets above 45C.

Use The Force the Dark Side -Infinity P965-S is the...Strengths: Great for the advanced do it yourself overclocker. This board rocks! Plenty of expansion slots, firewire and USB headers galore, great BIOS settings for incrementaly OC'ing chips, DUAL CORE Support... Weakness: None so far. My anticipation waiting for delivery was like awaiting delivery of the X-RAY glasses or Sea Monkeys ordered from the back page of a super hero comic book. Come to think of it, the board IS marketed as the "Dark" edition, much the same way AMD and Intel are marketing Special Editions, or Black Edition CPU's aimed at the serious system builder. I was very impressed from the get go. The...

Great board for reasonable priceStrengths: Good overclocker, solid capacitors, support of Penryn CPUs with updated bios, on board power and reset buttons. Lots of USB, Firewire and Sata connectors. Weakness: Northbridge is hot. Sata ports locaton. It would be nice to have a eSata port. Running E2180 at 3.3 stable with a moderate bump to CPU voltage. Everything else worked as expected out of the box. I'm a happy owner of this board now. I will probably upgrade to Penryn based CPU couple years down the road :) However there are few things that I don't like. Northbridge is hot and cooler is not adequate for over-clocking. Location of north-bridge is also a little questionable...

good MBStrengths: high-end board for low-end price Weakness: none This MB was state of the art in 2007, now it's available at the same price as a good entry level P35 board. DFI's designer used to be Abit's top engineer, and now they have the best overclocker friendly boards around. It has nice touches like a reset switch on the board for those times when you pushed it too far. Lots of settings to play around with. A great toy.

Infinity P965-S MotherboardStrengths: Solid caps, overclocking to over FSB500MHz, BIOS options, dark layout, Matrix raid Weakness: No CMOS reload, double boot, location of 8 pin power This board has famous bios options of DFI boards. with so many settings wish it had CMOS reload. The 8 pin power is under HSF next to memory slots so could be hard to get cable connected. The board will hit 500Mhz without problem and high DRAM. This is a great choice for the price.

GreatStrengths: 3 pci, high oc, firewire Weakness: minor issues this is overall a great mb with almost every feature i wanted at this price. plenty of usb's and sata ports, 3 pci with 2 pci express slots. i do wish there were more sata and usb's since I have a lot of hard drives and peripherals, but for the price of this I am willing to settle. i have mine paired with an e6600, and I normally run it oc'ed to about 3.6, 400mhz*9. I have gotten it higher but...

Another Solid DFI motherboardStrengths: Price, ovcerclocking potential, build quality. Weakness: Only 2 PCI-e 16x slots, Northbridge heatsink uses 2 hooks instead of more common through-hole mounting, needs better chipset cooling, could use MOFSET cooling. It seems that I'm more picky towards DFI motherboards than just about any manufacturer -- and that's because my expectations for them are so *high* (rather than the other way around). It seems like every DFI motherboard I've owned has been great to me, and the new 965 Inifnity board is no exception. I also have a 975X/G board which shares many of the 965's strengths and weaknesses -- but both are... Advertisement

Infinity P965-S Motherboard
Strengths: Overclocks very easily, a lot of options in the BIOS to change, has firewire port
Weakness: Package product is a little weak, not much other than cables and manual, price somehwat on the high side as compared to the Gigabyte DS3 that I also considered. product came late in the market.
I like this Motherboard a lot since I am able to overclock my E4300 easily to 3.4 Ghz and without much change. I am still learning the other options in the BIOS since there is a lot than can be done. Somehat expensive but worth the price difference over the Gigabyte DS3
