disturbed Posted December 26, 2005 CID Share Posted December 26, 2005 I am very much ready to build my next computer - and I have a big dillema - I have read numerous reviews for the best SLI/Overclocking motherboards out there and have concluded that these two motherboards steal the game MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum DFI nF4 SLI-DR They are far more superior over other motharboards and will give me the best performance I lean towards the MSI motherboard but the other day I was reading the Hardocp.com review of the said m/b and they claim, at the end of their review, that there are some errors in the area of overclocking that the MSI itself cannot even fix - !?!?!?!? - Does anyone have any idea about this ? What is this all about ? Has anyone used any of these 2 motherboards before - I really do appreciate input before I finalize my purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the DIF LanParty NF4 MB and i love it, its the fastest and most relyable one out there right now. If you going to spend that kinda money get the DIF MB.

disturbed Posted December 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 so you think its definitely worth the $ ? - i mean, i was thinking of spending about 200 dollars on a case, and thought it thru - decided to spend more on a motherboard and keep the case in the 100 dollar range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
