news · November 18, 2008

Hi all,

We have just published an early look at *DFI's LANParty UT X58 T3eH8

motherboard* - if you could post a link on your site that would be very

much appreciated.

*/Finally, the BIOS. We've not got much information on this yet but we

do know it features DFI's latest "Genie BIOS Extreme Edition" (all it

needs is "super special, lightening fast and ultra reliable/durable" and

we can play marketing buzzword bingo) that claims over one hundred BIOS

options for overclockers and for the sake of my sanity having to review

it, I hope it comes with a comprehensive manual or they are well

labelled. Beginners fear not though, because the LANParty Auto Boost

System is there to satisfy the needs of tweaking newbies.

It even allows sharing of BIOS settings and DFI is clever to further use

its strong, very loyal overclocking community that likes to just be

given a load of options and told to get on with it. They are the kind of

kids that got the box of Lego Technic or Mechano and threw out the

manual. By allowing "global [overclocking] veterens" to decipher what

works best it not only generates more interest in a product but also

means 10/20/50/200 people are tuning your board rather than just a BIOS

team (... or Oskar).

Has this perked your interest in DFI's X58 UT? Or are you waiting for a

firm price, overclocking results and a comparative against the Asus

Rampage II Extreme, Foxconn Renaissance and EVGA's X58? The enthusiast

arena is heating up like a cook-off with the Devil, and who will win in

the X58 war (or will no one because they will all be too expensive)?

Drop us your thoughts, in the forums./*

*Cheers guys!
