What is "THE BEST SLI READY 939 MOBO EVER MADE?"

[EYEBORG]

I've been trying to figure this one out for awhile now..
Theres obvious problems with my old Asus-SLI Deluxe Mobo.
I have the opportunity to score a free motherboard as payment for building a friends system, and, replace, and sell my old one.
I would just start over with a Core2Duo or AM2 system but am financially hindered and have some good stuff to stick on a newer board.

Anyway, Whats the general concensus.

DFi venus / expert

[thenrz]

I have the expert, it's cool but it's very picky with RAM. Nice overclocking features for an AMD board.

[AMD_Deluxe]

U dont want to buy a new mainboard for your 2x6600gt , want you ?
It is better when u sell your cards and invest your money in a new gfx ;)

[stunned_guy]

Best board is the DFI SLI-DR. ;)
The Expert is bull :banana::banana::banana::banana: and the Venus is too expensive.

[RyderOCZ]

If you want to run 2x1GB (or 4x1GB) sticks or 4 x 512 ram configuration, you want the DFI LanParty "Expert" SLI-DR.

If you want super high FSB clocks at 1:1 with TCCx based ram at 2 x 512 configuration, you want the DFI LanParty SLI-D/SLI-DR

abit an8-sli is where its at

QFT


This is where you post overclocking results, not ask which mobo is the best. There is a whole AMD section and you decide to post this here.

I'm so tired of these stupid threads.

How so?

EXPERT is the best 939 board. I had 2 ultra-d's SLI modded and an expert. Expert was a better clocker.

sry but what means QFT ?

i guess--> quoted for truth ;)

[lionel57000]

the dfi venus !

and the box is beautifull

[Kasparz]

DFi Venus is best, but not worth for its price
DFi expert ir best choice so far.
I would go with expert, but im tweaking my rdx200 2nd month lol

No, the expert really is better. The venus is indeed way too expensive

I completely go with Eric on this one.

I've owned both (the threesome if you count the SLI-D), and however much I liked the Expert, the SLI-DR was just that little bit more stable most of the time, and much more stable with 300FSB+. Also, TCCD was a dread to clock on the expert, I never got it stable at 300Mhz+, whereas the ram did 320Mhz on the SLI-DR.

In favour of the expert is imho the high voltage ram (BH-5/6 or UTT), which clocked much better on the Expert, and the performance with 4 dimm's, which I could run at 1T with the Expert (not so with SLI-DR).

[andyOCZ]

I agree with Eric "RyderOCZ" as well. Hey he works for OCZ too!

[Super strokey]

i like teh asus a8n32sli myself. Used the dfi and a few others and it was the best of teh bunch.

[Lastviking]

Dfi nf4 Venus is the best but most hard to find...

[nn_step]

DFI expert or Venus depending on if you use TCCD or BH-5

[Brother Esau]

I say Old Boy....Expert:D

[dinos22]

Expert for sure as long as you run BH5 or 4xslots populated

TCCD doesn't fair too well on Expert and older NF4 SLIDR boards were the :banana::banana::banana::banana: for that :)

[Lastviking]

Dfi Venus....can any board go so high like it with 4 sticks?

[granulf]

I would probably say DFI Expert, but I'm starting to become really happy with my A8N32-SLI Deluxe as well. Both of them can handle HTT 320++

i liked the ultra-d variants more just because they seemed to like micron a lot more. a very important thing for me :hrhr: :toast:

[Coroner Kyle]

Venus for sure followed by Expert, but Venus clocks better.

My experience w/ both boards and same pair of Patriot TCCD.
TCCD on Expert - 295 stable
TCCD on Venus - 315 stable

as an OCZ guy you should post a solution with ocz hardware :p: :D

I would still go for this:
everybody wants to tell you some dfi but be different :cool:
Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI + OCZ DDR Booster (need a lil' mod for the regulator)
See my sig - this board survives everything ^^
3.8V BH5, 3V DH5, 12 processors under phase with ~40 mounts.
1,75Vcore should be enough for most OC unless you cool with phase and want to do some benching over the save lines.

I was always lucky with what I could get out of this hardware and 3 totally different sets of ram and all processors were working with the right settings.
I love this board and I think about keeping it as long as it runs :D

[p0tter]

1 DFI Venus (overpriced probably not worth the extra cash)

2 DFI eXpert (picky with memory sub timings)

3 DFI SLI-D/DR (My fav, high overclocks not as picky as eXpert)

[Philly_Boy]

I owned the SLi DR and now own the LP Expert and really like the Expert. For like 15 months it has been a stellar board for me. I recently killed mine with a ES shock but will have a replacement (Newegg rma) in no time which I am sure will perform as well as the original did.

DFi venus / expert


:toast:

[dinos22]

i have to say that my favourite board was the AD0 revision Ultra D i had.....i kicked ass :toast:

[espionix]

Moved from the Ultra-D to the Expert, probably because i have G.Skill HZ, but i've never had a problem with the expert, highly recommended board :D
