DFI is as we all know a company that tries hard to satisfy hardcore enthusiast needs and lately they’ve been on a run with launches of their NF680i LT based board and now the LANParty UT P35. Feature-wise there’s not much to say, since it’s the normal DFI kit with eight-phase digital PWM supplying currents to your CPU and a replacement for the old “Karajan” audio module, based on Realtek ALC885. There’s one thing that stands out though, and that’s the cooling of the board; the heatpiping actually is manufactured in a way that lets you connect an external heatpipe device like thingie, thus emitting the heat outside the case instead of inside. Initially, a version supporting DDR2 will be available, called LANParty UT P35-T2R, but shortly a DDR3 version will be launched, called LANParty UT P35-T3R.
For those of you who didn’t understand my elaborate explanation of the heatpipe solution and can stand really bad english should check out DFI’s homepage for more info. If you can’t stand the english, there’s always pictures explaining the relatively interesting plumbing on the motherboard.
