Best 939 SLI board ?

[dbates]

Is it still the generally held opinion that the DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR Expert is the best 939 SLI board out there ? My current PC has developed a catastrophic fault, so a quick purchase might be in order How would the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe compare ?

I own the DFI SLI-DR and its been a cracking board for me and I have never had any problems with it. Although if you are not looking at overclocking then the Asus will do fine.

I will be overclocking, although not like crazy. I thought the 8-phase power on the Asus was good for that too though ?

Dbates. I'm selling my NF4 SLI-D if you're interested.

Right now, the main contenders are that ASUS board, pretty much any DFI board, and MSI's K8N Diamond Plus.

Remember the asus boards have some vdroop problems when loaded but they can be modified. Just my personall experience, if you are running in a Lian-Li case that mounts the mobo upside down I would go with something other than the asus boards with the heat pipes on them. I had 2 A8N32 SLI boards fail on me because temps got too high. I did really like the board though other than that.

A really nice s939 board would be the EPoX EP-9NPA+ SLi. It's a great overclocker, very stable, and VERY fast.

Officially, the Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe motherboard is the best 939 SLi board available and the DFI SLi-DR Expert is the best 939 overclocking motherboard

unless ur going to use SLI , just get an Ultra-D. Sli-D and ultra-D are 99% similar. Same ur pennies and get an Ultra-D .

another vote for a DFI varient. My SLI-D has been solid as a rock for me - can't complain.

I vote an Ultra-D

IIRC, if you're not going to SLI the Ultra-D is the preferred board over at XS even over the expert and such (and not just because of cost)

Because it tends not to assassinate hardware as much
