DFI Lanparty Blood Iron P45-T2RS Elite Motherboard Review

Packaging and Accessories



The DFI Lanparty BI P45-T2RS Elite box uses a texturized brown color with DFI’s various logos featured prominently on its front. The main logo and the part of the box that catches the eye is the Blood Iron logo, featured front and center. Meanwhile, smaller graphics are found on the front and sides including DFI’s always familiar Lanparty logo, CPU support, and the ABS II logo.

The reverse of the box focuses mainly on features and provides a brief description of each. The BI box as a whole may not be as eye catching as the UT series or even the JR, but the Blood Iron logo is very well done and makes up for the color choice.


DFI really knows how to use it’s logos to promote the brand as we can see from the use of the Blood Iron and Lanparty logos on all sides of the box. The top corner also highlights that the board is compatible with all socket 775 CPUs.


Looking inside, the contents seem pretty slim with just a driver cd and a few accessories in the front of the box but that is to be expected considering this board's price. The accessories are packed similar to most motherboards which means they are all individually packaged in plastic and situated in the front part of the box. The motherboard itself is wrapped in the standard anti-static bag to avoid damage to components from static charges while beneath the board there is a thick foam sheet to prevent shipping damage.


Above we see the accessories included with the Blood Iron and as we stated above, this is indeed a no-frills package.

Specific package contents and motherboard accessories include:

Package Contents

- One system board
- One IDE cable
- Two Serial ATA data cables
- One power cable with 2 Serial ATA power connectors
- One I/O shield
- One DVD
- One user’s manual
