Might go for the P5W DH Deluxe actually.. reasonably priced and comes with so many cool extras, looks cool and overclocks well.

Doubt I'll wait for the lanparty tbh, unless I get one later on.

not in stock anywhere though

but neither is Conroe so what's your point?

Am I too assume DFI make the best overclocking boards for Intel setups as well as AMD??? Or are people just assuming over the reputation of how good the skt 939 boards were. . . . :confused:

Up for pre-order on the site now, I've just ordered one.

Does this mobo support SLI?

I have seen it in a SLI configuration over at XS with two 7900 GT's :confused:

fenderbass86 · 20 Jun 2006 at 15:40

all 975X's are crossfire aren't they, only the nforce5 ones will be SLi.

easyrider · 20 Jun 2006 at 15:45

Apparently with modified drivers SLI works

woot!

drivers for thre mobo or drivers for the gfx cards?

fenderbass86 · 20 Jun 2006 at 16:06

I think he means mobo drivers.

FirebarUK · 20 Jun 2006 at 16:07

Yeah not entirely sure, perhaps both?

Either gfx drivers to fool the cards to think they are on an SLI board, or mobo drivers to perhaps sneakily identifiy itself as an SLI compatible board ?

cuscus97 · 20 Jun 2006 at 17:48

So what's the actual ETA of this board? I'm really excited about it, can't wait to get my grubby hands on it.

No, hacked nvidia drivers, not motherboard drivers.

Do these actually work?, as it'll be great to be able to keep SLI rather than buying a Crossfire card.

I'm so close to ordering this mobo,

It does seem a bit low on features though,but I suppose its more of an overclockers mobo?

trojan698 · 22 Jun 2006 at 00:01

I'd wait for the Asus offerings first.

already seen the asus offerings and they all suck
same problems with all asus boards, voltage all over the place.

Never really been built for overclockers though.

They do work, not sure on 7900 compatibility with the drivers Big Sam hosted on XS but there are newer drivers which are hacked but may be hard to find.

As for ASUS voltage problems the guy above is talking about, have you tested the board yet? No..

Has Kyosen? Yes and the results were good..

EDIT: oh and since when were infinities ever built for OCers..

Mr Jones · 22 Jun 2006 at 22:01

LanParty board is the way to go if OC wise in DFI.

But price I'm estimating to hit £180 mark inc VAT
