CPU3D Preview: DFI LanParty DK X38 Motherboard

Thanks to DFI, we've just received a review sample of their new LanParty DK series of motherboards. Our CPU3D review team will be taking a look at the DFI LanParty DK X38 Motherboard. DFI have made much of its success through their NF4 DR Expert motherboards a few years ago ... now it seems they are about to do the same again with their DK series of motherboards. The LanParty DK X38 motheboard features Intel's X38 chipset, supports DDR2 ram and DFI's own Genie BIOS.

            

Yes, it's another X38 motherboard, but DFI have added some extras that might appeal to the enthusiasts. We're expecting some good performance with this motherboard ... in the meantime take a look at the photo gallery below.
