someone at DFI's place must be having red ears.
im just glad i just bought a brand new nf4-d without epoxy and did the sli-d mod, its has taken my 3700+ to 3ghz air cooled.

Using one vid card 2 PCI slots available, with 2 cards probably none if the card is cooled well :rolleyes:Quote:

i've seen the thread with dead cpu + A8N32...
I haven't seen a real overclocker with this board yet
That should tell you something as wellQuote:

The word Xtreme and Asus dont go together. its an alright board for the avg overclocker not trying to push the envelope, but it certainly cant match the DFI, i dont care what Anandtech's review concludes..
scary stuff.. looks like DFI is takinga nosedive on these two new boards.. hopefully they fix them and do so quickly.
When it comes to the oc'ing part of their review, anymore I just laugh. Doing a high HTT at a low X says nothing about how high it will really clock. Just for a stock comparison they are OK but not for oc'ing.Quote:
