I currently have the machine in my sig. I may have fried my board somehow and need to get some opinions on another. The board I really want is the DFI nf3 Ultr-D but I cannot find one anywhere. I do OC and want a board that will do it well, I also run 2x512 OCZ PLatinum in Dual Channel. I also have an x800XTPE agp and do not want to upgrade that. Any board reccomendations. Any help is appreciated.
 
Err, the MSI Neo2 is considered to be the best s939 AGP OCing mobo by far.

If you can't find another...well, i'd suggest the AsRock that supports AGP & PCI-e.

The DFI you want is reknowned for horrifying issues from what i've heard 😛

The last time I checked for s939 plus AGP, the Epox is the one that was in good supply, and the MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum was just impossible to find. There were a few places carrying the less deluxe MSI version of that one, however. Luckily enough, because I might have bought one, the DFI NF3 MB's - other than a couple of s754 models, were not to be found then.

There are a great many buyers singing the praises of the AsRock dual 939 Uli 1695 MB these days.

I'd have to second the motion on the Asrock 939 Dual SATA2, It appears to be one of the only boards that runs AGP and PCI-E equally well. I have had GREAT success with this board and it OCs my 148 opteron like a dream.

I suppose I ought to PM this, but I think that the best answer to the thread is here, so it's not a "real" highjacking attempt!

About that DFI NF3 250 in your sig: is that a 754, not a 939? I was thinking I would be buying the NF3 Ultra D this coming April or May, because I liked what I'd gotten with my LanParty NFII. I totally missed seeing bad reports on that one, and still only have some second hand negatives to go on. I ended up with the MSI Neo 2 Platinum, early, simply because there seemed to be a potential price rebound coming as availability declined.

It is never my tendency to buy into the latest, newest, and fastest when those first appear; my budget never allows that. I am always about two years behind, so last summer's builds were an Asus A7N8X and a DFI NFII, with an XP 3000 and an XP-M 2400 respectively. The year before was farther back in the technology curve, and so on.

I have only a single AGP with much (relatively current) investment in it, to get more use from, so an NF4 will follow the NF3. Given that you are proud enough of a DFI NF3 to put that in your sig, you must have decent luck with yours. What's the bad news on the DFI Ultra D in its NF3 incarnation?


😱
 
Well mine is a 754 not 939 but if you want to follow a few threads on the 939 version of the board (I don't think there are a lot around as it was kinda late to market I'd suggest tryeing over in the forums at www.pcper.com there are some fairly insightful fellas over there that are useing the 939 board.

Let's see what's happening here. I did write a reply. But the software never showed me the preview. I'll try again. I believe I said that the lateness to market of the board was rather surprising, and at that late of a date, why did they even bother? I don't think that I'd been totally aware that DFI was a year late.


:frown:

Is this the board you are referring to?

Yes, I think that's it, but the extra "AGF" isn't what I'm acquainted with after the D in Ultra D. I wasn't ready to buy any s939 NF3 just yet, but when I saw everything other than the Epox disappearing from all of the retailers' listings, I got anxious. I do have a Lanparty NF2 (NFII), and like it. But in the last month or so, all I have run into about the DFI NF3/ 939 board is that it had problems that weren't fixed, and was then dropped from production instead of being fixed.
