Johnny do you know if this board is a good overclocker? Does it have any problems at higher fsb's and how hot do the mosfets get overclocked?

I plan on buying an asus nf4 but the msi's are in stock but i still dunno.

Could you help me out.

One negative about the Asus nf4 is that I do not believe that it's dc capable.

fyi - the MSI P4N Diamond is in stock at ZZF for $250.

Im from the uk so I cant buy from there :(.

How come the asus isnt dc capable? I thought all dual core cpu's will work in all nf4 motherboards? Wasnt the review to hardware labs running a normal dual core on it?

The Sissoft bug with insane bandwidth is "old". I had a Pentium 4 520 (2,8GHz) and when it reached ~280MHz FSB the bandwidth did go insane... I once read something about FSB termination/FSB voltage or something like that should help... I haven't tested since my motherboard don't have that option, but seen a couple wich have.

The motherboard looks nice, but I'm pretty skeptic about 3. party chipset based motherboards - think I'm sticking to Intel 955X wich Tbreak actually did review the other day. It's been fairly improved over the 925XE and now beats nForce4 IE by a margin in almost every benchmark :)

...and lastly. Will you be my friend? all that nice hardware - engineering samples, dual cores, the memory, 2x 6800 Ultras :slobber:

Nvidia said that all NF4 chipsets support dual cores, but that it was up to the MB manf. to implement this feature. So all NF4 MBs may not have dual core support.
