http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PAGE_TYPE=US&PRODUCT_ID=4556&SITE=US

there a € 100 difference for me msi to dfi
is the dfi worth 100 more/
looking for as many standard pci slots as l can get
dfi has 3 and msi has 4
the dfi would give me option of having down the road 2 g-cards
what you think
cheers

personally i wouldnt touch the msi,

i have had to rma 2 msi boards in the last year and a half.

but you will get others telling your their the best lol.


i have never owned a dfi board, but from what i hear their good clockers but can be picky about what ram is used on them. You would need to check that out as i dont know whats the best ram to go with them.


not much help sorry.

every bit helps
my brother looking at sapphire rx480as9
l heard theres probs with usb ,not if only using for mouse and keyboard and game controllers,only usb hardrives
any thoughts on it
hes in same boat as me as to getting as many standard pci slots as one can
only thing puts me off is l have used bios updating through windows mostly
,that where dfi is good as it has windows updater

put in the sapphire mobo in brother pc and runs well,with no probs
only thing l dont like about it is you have to update bios old fashion way ,no updater through windows
looking at msi at moment,would l loose one of the pci slots when g-vard installed
