Intel P35-based Asus, DFI and Foxconn
If you look at the overcloking results it is seen that Asus has managed to produce the maximum FSB speed of 500 MHz without any intricate cooling system or fine tuning. DFI also approached to 490 MHz and Foxconn was able to produce as much as 450 MHz. As seen from the results the motherboards allow to accelerate most of CPUs to their maximum limit yet it is always good to have additional reserve. The price for the Foxconn product turned to be the lowest of all so was the energy consumption. Get and download drivers for Intel P35-based Asus, DFI.
However the Asus motherboard was able to persuade us even more as it featured a small Poster LCD screen that displays setup POST-codes of BIOS, two additional radial fans for liquid cooling and the widest selection of software. Design of the Asus motherboard support 16 lines of PCI Express evenly distributed between two PCI Express slots for a decent CrossFire configuration of two graphics card. If we were able to spend $300 for a motherboard this time we would definitely purchase the Asus.
