Board reccomendation please.

I have heard this is pretty much the best board out for Nf4 S939 right now. Is this true or should I consider something else? Also, am I correct in understanding that although this is not an SLI board, I could potentially upgrade to SLI in the future.

That's what I'm waiting for this weekend project.

I bought one, should be delivered later this week. Very easily modified to an SLI, you just need a pencil and an SLI bridge - try the fs/t forum. Has a huge range of options, as an overclocking board it can't be beat. It's just picky about RAM and PSUs. A good-quality true 24-pin >480W PSU will work fine, and with OCZ RAM you won't have a problem.

Yeah, I've been using this board for about a month now, and it rocks! The HTT can go to 300 and higher no sweat, and it even has enough juice to power my OCZ VX ram. I've had no issues with it so far, and running a 1.8ghz cpu at 2.5ghz is definitely worth the investment in a good board.

Thanks.

That's the board for me. Could someone give me more details on how to mod it to SLI. Can it still be done. This is the actual board I will be oredering.

Thanks again.

New boards cannot be modded to SLI as they have covered the chips with some type of ceramic. You can try to file it down, but one wrong move and no mobo.

Should I consider one of these if I want SLI? Which one? I figured they would get rid of this option on the Ultra D.



DFI nF4 SLI Infinity Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

or

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD



How do the feature sets compare on these boards apart from SLI?


Thanks for the help.
