Possessing industrial grade technology, DFI LANParty is going to launch the newest Blood Iron series product, 785G-M35 Micro ATX motherboard. Accommodating AMD 785 chipset, BI 785G-M35 incorporates integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200, which supports DirectX10.1, Shader Model 4.1, and UVD 2.0. With 128MB DDR3 Sideport Memory, graphics performance of BI 785G-M35 can be improved up to 10%~15%.

CPU can be upgraded. Users do not need to spend a huge amount of money on high degree CPU, but still can obtain the same high performance. “ABS II” CPU Auto Upgrade Technology exempts users from complicated set-up steps. As long as users choose upgrade option at the first boost time, ABS II then will detect CPU and upgrade it automatically. As a result, performance is improved easily and money is saved accordingly.



By virtue of integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200 and 128MB DDR3 Sideport Memory, graphics performance is enhanced. Besides, through PCI Express x16, Hybrid Graphics is supported to enable both extra graphics card and integrated graphics core at the same time. 30% to 40% performance can be increased. Moreover, HDMI, DVI, and D-SUB are all provided. Therefore, besides marvelous graphics performance, users also have more output choices for various needs.

In terms of audio, BI 785G-M35 adopts Realtek ALC885 and avoids the interference to audio signal. Therefore it delivers 8 ch high definition audio with high S/N ratio of 106 dB. Coming with coaxial and optical output, pure audio signal can be delivered thoroughly to bring impressive audio experience.

The leading edge technology, digital PWM, deliver a high power efficiency of 90%, which is far better then traditional ones. Extreme high stability avoids the damage to components and extends the lifespan. What is more important, because of the high power efficiency, without additional technology support, power can be saved all the time. Thus users will be charged less for their electric bill.

DFI boards are great and all, but it's true that they don't speak the best Engrish. Loved them back when I had my old nForce4 Ultra though... Great board. I only wish they were more frequent with the BIOS updates like ASUS.

My wish.. is that i want them to go back making nvidia chipset boards...

As for the bios updates.. Yeah, they tend to not do it as much as most compaines.. But, I look at it this way with DFI.. If you want to tweak the hell out of the system.. DFI is your way to go... If you want your bios to do everything for you, besides hold your hand, then something else is for ya..

I only use that terminology for the fact with DFI you gotta to set everything up Manu.. Setting it to auto is almost a death wish... very much so..

[laweinhander]

when is it supposed to come out?

[Cold Storm]

There still hasn't been any word as of now... I searched everywhere this past weekend and found it no where..

[A Cheese Danish]

Looks like a kick arse board! Definitely considering for a cheap HTPC build.

[laweinhander]

it alive , lol http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136071
is it any better than the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136068 ?
besides the fact that 3300 arguably better than the 4200 ?

i just realized the newer dfi only has one pci express x16 slot , i wish i saw that earlier

[DrunkenMafia]

Has anyone got one of these yet? I am considering one to upgrade my 780g and jump on the DDR3 train.

I can't decide between this and the gigabyte 785g. I have had 3 DFI boards before and loved/hated them but my gigabyte 780g has been rock solid since I bought it. I don't think it has ever locked up on me.
