I think it?s safe to say of the 965 boards on the market abit, gigabyte and asus have gotten all the attention. I've not heard of a dfi 965 board.
I'm interested purely in stability, overclocking and reliability. I have heard some boards don't like some ram (due to voltage issues). I am a long time fan of abit, ive never been happy with the OC quality in ANY of my asus boards but somehow other people to have marvelous things to say and AT keeps posting about their awesome uber oc'ing GA-DS3.
so q1) Does the premium model of the boards affect oc'ing? (ie -pro -deluxe)
q2) Do the non premium models still use solid state caps?
q3) is the AT DS3 they keep reviewing / using a golden sample? anyone able to dupe these results?
q4) would it be better to just go with a 650i board? I really want to grab an e4300 if they are released and OC as well as noted by AT. They had an eng sample, not all chips are created equal. ESP when given to AT to review on its OCability. I digressed, is a 650i more overclockable than a 965?
