    MSI vs DFI

    Both are good. If higher quality onboard sound is a priority then maybe MSI, otherwise.....DFI ! http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_nforce4_sli_roundup/ http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/dfinf4sli/index.html Damian

    OC'ing X850 XT PE and controlling temps...

    My problem is that I don't seem to be able to get a really good overclock on my Connect3D Radeon X850 XT PE. I'm not sure I really *need* much of an overclock cos the card is so fast anyhow but it frustrates me and intrigues me that others can seem to and I can't. I have seen others get above...

    Case Fan's

    Ok I am just considering adding a top fan in my Wavemaster case (removing the top access ports) - so I'm correct in understanding that this should be an exhaust fan and not an intake fan then? Damian

    Wavemaster and Cooldrive 4

    Ok thanks - you are sure that nothing 'protruding' on the front of the Cooldrive wil prevent the Wavemaster door from shutting? Are the musketeer panels also ok? Cheers, Damian

    DFI Nightmare - which alternative!?!

    The more research I do, the more I think I should just RMA this board to get a replacement (in case it really is faulty) - and if it's the BIOS - wait for DFI to sort it...

    DFI Nightmare - which alternative!?!

    All, You can see my system below - I am just building it. I am not having fun with my DFI LanParty NF4 Ultra SLI-D and I am not the only one. A lot of folks with this board are reporting difficulties on dfi-street.com - usually related to booting windows and RAM. My system will only boot...
