DFI SLI-DR Expert Edition (Worth it?)

[mdzcpa]

I find that the AD0 revision SLI-DR is actually better than the eXpert board in terms of voltage stability, high HTT and "overclockability."

How many Expert mobos did you try? I say this because any single mobo can be a good clocker or not. I've now gone through 3 Experts, one was fair. It didn't out perform my old modded DFI Ultra. But, the next 2 boards rocked. Both outperformed my golden Ultra board (no small feat as that Ultra took me to the top of the ORB last February).

Anyway, with the improved layout of the Expert, I wouldn't even waste my time with the old SLI DR. Compared to the Expert, the layout simply sucks. Just my opinion of course.

That said, if I was looking for a non SLI board where layout didn't matter, I'd certainly consider the new SLI DR.

Good point there, but let me just say that the RevAD0 DFI boards are quite a bit different than all the prior rev boards. This time, there were some major HW changes which vastly improve the boards' stability and voltages

3 Expert boards and 12 SLI-DR boards, does that qualify?
