I'm sure it's a nice board, but the OC features including Vcore can't compare to DFI.

hehe... love that SLI :)

It would be a little more informative if the high clocks were done with 2*512 instead of 2*256

Nice board, I wanted to get it, but DFI changed my mind...

Overclocking looks great, when does it come out?

thanks :)

Just got my Diamond and it clocks so much better than the A8N SLI and a little better than the K8Nf-9

Compare to Windwithme my card had a swicth to clear cmos and the USB headers are different

Whats up with the S3 PCI video card? Yuck.

It rules out AGP videocard limiting the overclock...after all hes not doing video tests is he?

thanks for the effort sr4470, but FYI it's nForce4.... ;)

it is ture :p:

I was originally leaning towards the Diamond but after the DFI specs all came out my mind is set.... ;)

:worship: DFI

well the DFI is for people who are going to be using winbond ram chips chips basically, but for an air cooled, or maybe even water cooled, tccd system, the MSI will be just fine.

but personally i'm getting the DFI.

cant wait for the benches

The problem with the MSI board is the very limited Vcore options for winchesters. Those who don't want to Vmod straight out of the box are most likely going to go with the DFI, as it is an outstanding overclocker and also has PCIe slots when using SLI.

The Diamond does not have any PCIe slots when using SLI, and that might be a problem for many users who would like to see their board last longer than 1 year. :rolleyes:

Windwithme,
If you account any problems with your closet no longer being able to shut due to a pile of hardware i'm well prepared to lend a helping hand. :D

Nice review, don't you have 2 PCI-E cards to test SLI mode?

That's original Voodoo magic. Well almost. :D

I've been following you guys putting these boards through their paces. You peeps squeeze every ounce of performance you can wrestle from these. Keep up the great work. :cool:

Thank you much for testing. I think I'll get this board over DFI because of sound blaster live. Plus I only do mild overclocking.:)

Man that's a lot of motherboard...How much does that stuff cost in Tiawan? I bet half price as USA.
