gdogg Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 dfi makes high quality motherboards.they always get most of the highest overclocks on the market.anyway, even if your not overclocking, dfi boards should just last a very long time then.
ripken204 Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 i have the dfi ultra-d , its a great overclocking boarddfi also has the best forum for any hardware manufacturer that i have seen so there are plenty of people to help you outwhat cpu do u plan on getting? go for an opteron. and if u need help on a new comp then let us know.
rendrag Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) i have an asus A8N, and I love it... rock solid board. I would recommend the DFI board ripken suggested as well Edited April 21, 2006 by rendrag
spazmire11 Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 i would NOT recomend a dfi to a non overclocker, they give way to many options to be safe. gigabyte makes good boards, iv heard some horror stories from asus but they cant be too bad. also dfi boards can be picky with the ram, some will work others wont, just chance realy....
ripken204 Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 dfi just doesnt like generic ram...asus is good tho
hankjrfan00 Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 I have recently started to like dfi and btw I do not overclock. I have also never had any big problems with Asus or Abit. Just stay away from really cheap boards juch as those made by pc chips or jetway.dfi just doesnt like generic ram...asus is good thoyeah you should stay away from generic ram no matter witch board you go with.
ripken204 Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 the only reason for an fx is to overclock, so go for dfi
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 dfi just doesnt like generic ram...asus is good thoReading their forums they also consider Antec and Thermaltake PSUs to be "sub par".I recently purchased a DFI 875P/T and I'm not all that thrilled with it. Maybe their AMD boards are better though...
ripken204 Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 yes for amd, the starter of this thread wants amd. i prefer asus for intel.and the best power supplies for the dfi nf4 boards are the ocz powerstream 520/600, PC P&C 510 Express/SLI, and Enermax 600W (New) Noisetaker 600W thermaltake and antec are still nice powersupplies and afaik no one would laugh at you if you got one, there are just better ones.
