SATA/USB 3 and LOTES bracket/clamp with Foxconn socket. When USB/SATA 3 is enabled the PCIe 2.0 slot only runs at x8 instead of x16.

Did you see the review on that board? It has some issues. I'm not going to say DFI boards are bad I am going to say the tech support is. So you can leave it at that or risk a report and we know what happened last time.

And the problem was the Foxconn tops or retainers didn't apply enough pressure on the CPU making the burn issue happen.

Also when you enable USB3.0, it drops your PCIe lane down to x8, which is plain stupid. |

Overclocking Overclocking the LANParty DK P55-T3eH9 was not the treat I was expecting. I was unable to get even close to the max OC that I have run on the i5 750 that I have been using. It is capable of running at 4.3-4.4 stable, yet on the T3eH9 we only saw 4.214GHz; this was at 210x20. There was (oddly enough) no direct option for turning turbo mode on or off. This could be the reason that my higher overclocks failed as the turbo mode on the Core i5 and i7 can cause instabilities during overclocking when left on. |

| Okay, we have to say that for a DFI LANParty board we were a little disappointed with the results that we saw from the DK P55-T3eH9. While we admit we did not get to spend a large amount of time on overclocking, we still feel that as an “Overclock Edition†DFI board we should have been able to get a much higher clock than we did. |

im going for max overclocks so i kinda want a decent overclocking board i might just hold of for the extra week and get a board a ud4p or a higher end dfi

You seriously couldn't loose with either boards. Both have there strengths and weaknesses. |
