DFI LanParty Pro875B (Intel 875P Canterwood) Motherboard Review

Author: Aleksandr Mitrofanov

BIOS

The BIOS of DFI LanParty Pro875B is built on the Award BIOS Phoenix version.


BIOS

First, look into the section dealing with the memory latency timings. Here, the major parameter is "System Bandwidth". It is intended for the automatic setting of latency timings and by default selected is the value that best suits the type of memory used in your system.


System Bandwidth

However, in practice the board sometimes makes mistakes and sets sometimes to risky latency timings. In particular, that was the case with the Corsair TwinX PC3200 memory. So the most correct way for system set-up is adjust the latency timings manually. For that, set the "System Bandwidth" to "Disable". The user can adjust the "SDRAM Cas Latency" and "Precharge to Active"(Trp), "Active to precharge" (Tras) and "Active to CMD"(Trcd).


Latency timings

As regards the selection of memory operation speeds, no issues about that: the user gets access to both synchronous and asynchronous operation modes.


Memory operating frequency

Now move on to the section to do with the system monitoring.


System monitoring

The board displays information collected from a standard set of sensors: the main voltages, temperatures of the processor and system. Besides, the board keeps track of the rotational speeds of three fans.

Finally, let's look into the CMOS Reloaded technology which allows storing four absolutely different parameters sets which can be easily adjusted through a key press.


Various parameter sets

For example, you can make two profiles: "Normal" and "Overclocked", respectively with the nominal settings and overclocking parameters. This feature is especially useful if you replace memory quite frequently, and if the computer is operated by several users.
