That board is very stable, great BIOS, TONS of OC options.
Uhh no it's not.... Once again you can tell this is one of the many threads of one person saying something, and others agreeing without knowing simply because it carries the name DFI with it.
Thanks Idiotec as you actually know whats up with this board.
It's been a toss up....theres people who's had absolutely no troubles with it, and theres been people who's had ridiculous times getting it setup...now you may say "any board can be good or sometimes fickle" but no....the amount of people having troubles with it is very high....they've put out 5 or so BIOSes now and none really offer any huge benefits.
My 6800GT went from 430/1150 to only being able to OC to 410/1120...this is not due to the card, but the NF3 chipset itself....so that's not really just THIS board itself it's the NF3 chipset.
Apparently theres a resistor on this board that shouldn't be there....it makes the CPU undervolt....compared to if you remove the resistor yourself it overvolts.
So basically it's a not so great BIOS mixed in with the boards hardware needs to be reworked and theres already talk of a revision2.
Now I had no problems setting it up for stock settings....however some people weren't that lucky and it can be picky with your RAM.
Also it seems to not like RAID to well.
DFI is not the DFI you'd come to expect quality from when it comes to this board....
