phelan1777 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 hey, go for the DFI SLI-DR, for sale in the FS/TD Thread, help out a fellow DFI'r http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread...hlight=nvidiamd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I'll agree, thats a great price on an amazing board, and definately go DFI, but then its probably a biased poll, considering this is dfi-street, lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baaj Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 You might want to also consider the SLI-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did face this problem 8mo. ago. IF you want a Mobo that can run any type of hardware you put in it, then get a Asus. If you want to overclock your system with quality parts, then get a DFI. Don't be confused between the two boards, because there is a big differance. IMO DFI is a far superior Board, but you can't slap some value ram and a piece of junk PSU in and are shocked it won't run. It dosen't matter what I recommend. What matters is what you want out of your computer? good day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kandoo Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Take a look for your PSU: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29248 And look in here: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread...19&page=1&pp=15 I can not say you will or will not have issues. All I am saying is read the threads here at the street and do your homework. If you do that you will have a smoother build.
