I hadn't seen you post on that mobo. But I didn't mean the [H] review. I was pretty sure you have read that by now anyway. I just haven't seen anyone else review it yet. And [H] really was totally shy on details about his OC, so we need more info on it.

Yeah, I don't know what he did to hit that 375MHz HTT. It obviously had to be 2X or lower. But it does show the mobo can hit that fsb, which is more than they could say for the Asus. I mean looking at his multiplier even, he wasn't after MHz overclock, just fsb (HTT) maximimums. I am just saying, it has potential. The OC part of the review was lacking for sure.

If you see more reviews, let me know though. I am looking too.

Isn't saying they ran a 375MHz HTT with an A64 saying the same thing as 375 FSB? FSB is called HTT in A64. So they could still have run 375 x 2X =750 HT bus. Yet 3X wouldn't work as it would be far too much over 1000.


HTT Frequency (FSB) x LDT multiplier = HyperTransport Bus

Anyway, [H] <A HREF="http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzE3LDc=" target="_new">reviews the DFI SLI now</A>, but the bozos didn't compare it to the MSI! :frown: I only had time to skip to the OC/conclusion page now, but will read it all tonight. Their conclusion is far less enthusiastic compared to the ravings they gave the MSI.

DFI - <i>"DFI definitely has a good foundation to build on with the nF4 SLI-DR board. If you’re itching for an Athlon64 upgrade, then this should be one of the boards on your short list."</i>

MSI - <i>MSI has really got a winner on their hands with this board. If you’re looking to upgrade and want to take the Athlon64 socket 939 plunge, don’t even think about getting another board. This is the board to get. Period."</i>



They also mention NF4 issues(SATA/IDE), like AT has been stating lately. I'd like more info on this.
