Review Motherboard DFI LP DK P55-T3EH9

DFI LP DK P55-T3EH9 is one of motherboard of LAN Party Series from DFI, Enclosed in black, orange and black color. This product is equipped the latest chipsets of Intel Ibex Peak P55.
This Product Also have supported AMD CrossfireX and nVIDIA SLI with 3 slots of PCIe X16, and applicable with AMD CrossfireX and nVIDIA SLI. As for the memory is is available of 4 slots of DDR3, with max clocking at 1800 MHz and 1333 MHz on default. As for the SATA port there is 8 slots, fortunately it still not using SATA3.
For The Cooling system using qualified aluminum heat sink with integrated heat-pipe, heat-pipe that were used is quite thick, and parallel installed following chipset onto the MOSFET. This product of DFI is only armed with 6 power phase unit having fan pin header that is quite a lot with a total 5, with hopes that it can help farthest with the cooling process.

Price Tag :
US$ 220

Positive Side :
- Overall Performance is quite good and the price is not so expensive

Negative Side :
- Needs A lot of power, manual book is not fitted out

ASROCK M3A785GXH/128M

The usages of components in this motherboard is very nice, because the capacitor that are used is using solid type. and every chip set in it is using 55 nm fabrication which is enhanced by 3 slots of PCI3 X16, so Crossfire-X has been activated in this motherboard.
Also In This Product We Also Se an SLI/Crossfire switch card that is useful  to activate SLI or Crossfire, but this method is very old style because there already motherboard that integrated it directly to it’s switching process, with out any need of this kind of switching card.
For the cooling solution, only the chip-sets is equipphttp://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8640793696542812555&postID=918858500658482123ed with heat sink from aluminum with fans, but the MOFSET is let alone with out a cooling protection. For memory slots it uses DDR3 in 4 slots, and are able to use memory up to 1600MHz. For The power phase, is only available in 5 units, and it felt isn’t enough So maintain power for PCIe X16   it’s been added a molex slot to add power to descrete graphic.

It’s Has Minimum Equipment

Asus M4A785TD-V EVO

This is one of the classy motherboard but it still uses economic chip sets from AMD. M4A785TD-V Evo form asus use AMD785G as it’s chip sets and AMD SB710, also use DDR3 as it’s memory.
This product from asus is equipped with 2 slots of PCIe X16, so that the crossfire or hybrid crossfire can be activated through adding 2 discrete graphic. as for the memory slots is claimed to support DDR3 1800 MHz. For it’s onboard graphics, this product use Radeon HD 4200, and equipped with sideport memory DDR3 128 Mb.
For cooling solution, each chip sets is equipped with cooling system and MOFSET with alumunium heatsink which is little thick. Also for capacitor that is used is using solid capacitor , and for the PCB quality is using 2OZ Copper PCB. Power phase of this product is massive, counted there are 10 power unit phase which is used to control power to each component of the motherboard.
