Other than that, the mainboards were tested with identical parameters: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor was overclocked to 3.4GHz (378x9) and the memory was running at 1008MHz.

DFI LANParty LT X38-T2R managed to outperform the competitor only in the copy speed test of the Everest suite, as this parameter depends a lot on secondary timings. In all other tests ASUS Blitz Formula proves faster or the two boards run neck and neck with one another, if the results do not depend a lot on the memory speed. Taking into account how rich the fine tuning features of DFI LANParty LT X38-T2R mainboard are, we can assume that adjusting some parameters in certain ways may push Performance Level down a bit more and increase the performance. However, the absence of appropriate documentation and huge number of available settings to play with didn’t let us find the right options to tweak in a reasonable amount of time. The board also couldn’t handle this talk on its own, so I guess we will have to leave it up to computer enthusiasts this time.
