ASUS v DFI

[Brtnboarder495]

Err..i use corsair value select in my DFI ultra-D

So you might wanna know what your talking about.

EDIT: That Gskill will work very well on DFI's. I dont know why you want the SLI-Expert.
I would recommend to you Get the Ultra-D and that Gskill and get a very good single solution card. SLI is not great value.

No crap, it's not like the value select won't work, point blank. What he GR was saying is that on average, the memory is usually very unstable and doesn't like to cooperate well with DFI boards.

DFI makes a fine board. I am using the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe and it has been superb. Almost bought the DFI but wasn't going to overclock and I am big on Corsair memory.

If you choose the ASUS, rethink the memory and try the memory ASUS built this board for. The Corsair 3500LLPRO. Spendy, but it runs flawlessly @ DDR437 2-3-2-6, which are stock settings.

alright guys im prettty sure that im gonna go w/ the ultra-d like i had planned in the first place...i was just wondering...are they still sli moddable

 

[john3]

good job, Cutose, or however you spell it.

 

[Green Radience]

Yes, its a little harder, but still possible.

and about the modding to SLi, i read that on DFI Street that all you need to do is rub harder to get through the epoxy, and thats pretty much it. or you can use something else to get through the epoxy, i heard someone say on that site that he used acetone.

 

[adam02]

yea but its pretty pointless, cos ur gunna have to buy an SLI bridge, so it will add up to more than the SLI-d and you also void your warantee if you do that mod, its only really if you bought the Ultra-d and wanted SLI without buying a new board. so if u want SLI, get the SLI D.

Yo sorry for attacking u about the corsair value select thing, i just assume if a set of corsairs work on mine, any set can work on all DFI, just thought you meant no corsair work. Oh yea another cool thing about DFI, if you get stuck or if somethings not working, you can ask directly at DFI street to the engineers and they can help you no probs at all.

 

[john3]

well when you buy a Sli-d AND an sli bridge, it CLEARLY adds up to more, so i see no difference.

"technically" it will void your warranty, but what genius actually looks at the 2 tiniest things on the motherboard, or that can find it by pure speculation, or even no where to look. if your worried about voiding your warranty, dont be, they cant tell, they only notice some major changes.
