[Avatar786]

I currently have a MSI K8N Diamond which i am having to RMA i just wanted to know which is the best out of these 2 price is not an issue, i just want something that is not buggy like the MSI board and can overclock reasonably well though i am not a mad overclocker.

any thoughts?

I have the Fatal1ty an8-SLI and it was a breeze putting it on. I didn't have any issues with drivers or anything. Only problem is it's pricey 😀

Thanks I have just been told that the ASUS A8N premium is also worth looking at?

I have also hear that there are issues with the Fatal1ty with graphics card fitting into the case?

If you are a hard gamer, the ABIT Fatality AN8 SLI is the best choice. (Extreme overclocking, very stable)
If you are looking for features, the ASUS A8N SLI Premium is the best choice. (Average Overclocking)
If you need an extreme overclocking board (hard to set it stable) then, the DFI NF4 SLI DR is the best choice.
Good luck!

The card comes close to the north bridge fan, but doesn't touch it. I had no problems with it fitting.

My friend has the ASUS A8N Premium and has had no problems with it. So either board is a good choice 🙂

DFI SLI-D(R)

I'd get the DFI though. More accessories, better overclocking.

I have read here on anandtech that the DFi can be very fiddly if you want to overclock, also does it support corsair Value select?

Latest update does, but....heh it's a bit shaky with that RAM. Try some OCZ ram (I think you can get some stuff for about $20 more than VS)
