Conclusion

Although the DFI Infinity 975X/G mainboard doesn’t belong to the LanParty UT series the overclocking community favors so much, it has done well anyway. Having a low price, few accessories and a bare minimum of functionality, this mainboard isn’t worse than many other i975X-based products in terms of overclockability and performance. So, if its functionality suits you fine, you shouldn’t hesitate to take it as a CrossFire-ready platform for your Intel Core 2 processor.

Well, we shouldn’t be overpraising DFI after all. The Infinity 975X/G might have higher overclockability if the developer didn’t limit the opportunity to raise the voltage on the chipset’s North Bridge. That’s why some i975X-based mainboards are still better than the Infinity 975X/G is at overclocking processors.

Highs:

• Rather low price
• High performance and stability
• Supports ATI CrossFire
• Can overclock the FSB to 450MHz

Lows:

• Low upper limit for the North Bridge voltage
• Inconvenient placement of the ATX power connectors

And finally we want to remind you that if you do choose the DFI Infinity 975X/G, do not forget to update its BIOS! The mainboard overclocks processors much worse with early BIOS versions.
