DFI Lanparty JR P45-T2RS mATX Motherboard Review

Included Software


The DFI Lanparty JR P45-T2RS motherboard comes with an installation disk containing drivers needed for the board as well as a few additional programs and tools. Navigating the disk, users will find chipset, audio, LAN, storage, graphics, and RAID drivers. Extra software is found under the tools page and includes Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.05, the Auto Boost program, and DFI’s hardware monitoring program – Smart Guardian.


The Auto Boost System technology provides the convenience of saving and loading several overclocking settings. It even allows users to swap profiles with other users by sending a small .abs file and makes tweaking on such a complex board a little less overwhelming. This is also a great program for tech support as DFI can request your .abs file to help users with settings or just send a pre-tested profile. The ABS program also comes pre-loaded with upgrade options for different processors. For example, users with a 1066 FSB CPU could select the 1066 upgrade to 1333 option and enjoy extra performance with little to no overclocking experience. In testing we wanted to get the max out of the board not just a small boost so the stock profiles were overwritten with custom settings.

Overall, the features of ABS worked flawlessly and it really saves time when overclocking since CMOS Reloaded can load your previously saved BIOS settings upon a failed boot. You simply press F1 on POST to access the ABS utility and the screen will show CPU upgrade information.

Please note to use extreme caution when playing with these settings as hardware damage and operating system corruption is possible if the user goes too far with an instable overclock.
