k before i make my purchase i just want to know what people that have used this board so far think about it?
any problems?
i have read about sata problems? I wont be runnig any arries just one sata drive..
and temp problems how about those?
please tell me all possible problems please.
i dont want to buy a board with a lot of problems!!
Hehe, so full of questions.
It's not too great of a board for the price, you might want to go with something cheaper, and get a better bang for your buck. I like it alright, but they do misread temps by a lot. That can be fixed with a Bios update... i still don't think it's reading my temps very accurately though.
There's a thread over at Anandtech about it *here* that should give you more info on it.
compared to the Asus and the MSI nforce boards
this one is actually the cheapest at 149 canadian.
it isn't that pricey, mostly out box is the because concern though i have read many people saying multiple updates in bios is needed
The DFI board is rock solid. The temp problem you refer too, IMO isn't a problem. CPU temps are never accurately read it seems, so who cares what the display tells you if you are stable. It is just a point of reference. The SATA issues are not a DFI exclusive issue, but rather an NF3 issue. Apparently after a certain fsb, the NF3 native ports loose frequency lock. If you hook your drive to port 3 or 4, you won't have a problem.
i like my DFI, it overclocks awsomely, and is rock stable, one of the fastest boards ive ever had, i love its overclocking features
Having moved on from my old Epox 8RDA+ only a fortnight ago. I can safely say that I am very happy and impressed with the DFI board. It was'nt expensive. It came with ALL the features and it's rock solid stable. On top of that it is by far the best overclocker I have ever used ;)
I have it, and I love it. I have no problems with mine.
This is my first AMD board and I can say is it's rock stable and great overclocker. It has been nothing but great to work with.
