Which Nforce 4 motherboard would you buy (or have bought)?

[glorfy]

As someone who has owned Asus SLI and DFI SLI, there is no contest. DFI hands down. Maybe the Asus is better now with a newer bios, but the limited overclocking the board would allow me to do was within software, bios overclocking just wasn't very stable, whereas, I'm booting into windows at 260X10 1.5,2,2,5 with the DFI, and its STABLE. I accidently left it folding at these settings, and had forgotten that I had temperarily left the vcore at 1.8 , 2 hours later, I came back to it still foldig away (CPU was at 61C!) The points being 1) Yes I am a dumba** 2) Its rock solid!

The only thing in the Asus's favour is the two card gap between the PCIEX8 slots.

Well I was running the MSI Neo2 plat. and loved it. Now I have the DFI NF4 Ultra. There are much more overclocking features on this board and the voltages you can do without mods are great!!

asus all the way,i had the dfi sli-d and it was the most unstable buggie board i've ever owned,i got the asus now and have none of the above probs,very stable board,plus i can get my cards watercooled witch i could'nt do with dfi due to the small space between cards.

Urr.. I'm happy for you if you are enjoying the Asus , but I'm using the DFI with water cooling, no hassle - in fact it's better than using the stock heatsink spacewise.

Heh, as for stability, I must just be lucky. Its been rock solid with both sts of ram I've tried in it.

So was the Asus, unless I wanted to O/C.

I'm using a Giga-byte nForce 4X board... it works so I ain't complaining.

I'm looking to buying another Abit board, the an8 or fatal1ty model after loving how well my nf7s did overclocking and stablity.

K8NXP-SLi here and no complaints so far. I don't over clock much but as far as stability the board is great. Speed is good and the Gaming is great. I can actually feel safe building this for a customer and not have to worry about massive returns for repairs.
I have to work from the stand point of utilization, Most of us can clock a board and tweak the hell out of it and not worry if it crashes. Were pushing to find the crash limits. But for my customers I have to have ease of use, set up and reliability. The GigaByte board seems to be giving me all the above as of now.

I went with the ABit Fatal1ty AN8 NF4 Ultra, and have to say that I have no complaints with it sofar.

i have a DFI Nf4 SLI-DR and have absolutely no complaints. all of the extra Bios options are awesome as well as the extra voltage options.

Does this answer your question? or do you need more? See attachment

My last six boards have been ASUS. But I was swayed by the overwhelming support among enthusiasts for the DFI board. I began my build yesterday and hit a snag when I caouldn't get my HDD recognized so I couldn't install windows, I also had recieved the wrong ram. I now have the right ram. So far Memtests are good and CPU torture tests are good, but thats as far as I've gotten.
The experience with the harddrive has left me with a feeling of unease whispers of "should've gotten the ASUS" "never had any trouble like this with ASUS".
So I'm RMAing the WD2500JD and getting a new Maxtorand I pray it was only the harddrive and not the controller so I can begin having this fantastic DFI experience
I've read so much about...and paid so much for. I'm not yet convinced that I made a good decision. With fingers crossed Peace, Vektor
