DFI Announces Blood Iron P45-T2(R)S Elite Series, The Most Affordable OC Motherboard
From now on, amazing performance becomes available on affordable motherboards. In addition to the development of high-end overclocking motherboards that set world record in performance, the LANParty team has recently committed to a research program called "top performance at affordable prices", allowing more consumers to enjoy low-price yet high-performance motherboards.
The BI P45-T2(R)S Elite family is the first wave of the "top performance at affordable prices" series. High-end hardware layouts, excellent BIOS design, and ex-factory overclocking stress test are totally migrated to the product. With the price under USD $110, it can surprisingly challenge $150-level products in terms of performance.
Based on Intel P45 chipsets, the BI P45-T2(R)S Elite family is compatible with LGA775 CPU. The 600MHz bus speed outperforms other products in the same price range. Moreover, the "Amateur mode" is also introduced to the BIOS options. With the simplified options in the amateur mode, users looking for stability can finish the setup in minutes. Meanwhile, the overclocking users can simply press the F9 hot key to switch to the "Expert mode" and pursue superior performance.
The product helps users save money not only on motherboards but also on CPU. Through ABS II auto overclocking technology, all CPUs can be upgraded automatically. In other words, users who choose the BI P45-T2(R)S Elite can enjoy the performance of high-end CPUs with the cost of low-end CPUs.
With strict O.C. test, the BI P45-T2(R)S Elite guarantees the operation stability under the normal frequency. It is absolutely the best choice for DIY users as an entry-level system. For users who want to practice overclocking skills but don't have enough budgets, the BI P45-T2(R)S Elite is definitely a stepping stone to the overclocking world.

it looks like it all you need for a basic enthousiast ( yes those 2 words can fit into one sentence ) gaming rig.
i wonder what else besides second PCI E slot is missing from the more expensive P45 boards.
Blood.
Red.
that red pcb makes it look like a home made POS board... but yeah its an el cheapo...
still why stick toilet paper to its shoe and send it out into the world :P
you know do what msi do and make it look good but put crap parts on :D
Seems like an alright board but i agree that crossfire would have made a nice addition.
No heat pipes or anything either, the price better be good considering.
With a P45 being a superior chipset to the P35, I dont really see how this can go wrong for DFI.
a new Blood Iron board.
I went with a Blood iron board at the advice of Sneekypeet, and i hven't been happier since. No more issues like i had with the nvida boards.
Sneeky: you have to help me finish overclocking my computer...
welcome
Just hope that it doesn't come expensive in SA:(
