Hello everyone

Iam looking into buying a eVGA Socket 939 nForce4 SLI Mobo, But wondering if this is a good mobo for overclocking, and if its stable.
Or should i buy a DFI expert SLi mobo. using the DFI ultra-D right now.
So any advice, thanks

[tdotcbc84]

i heard you can jump some cables and make the DFI Ultra-D into a SLi board~!

cuz its the EXACT same board as the SLi one from DFI~!

dont ask me how to do it... i just know it can be done~!

[1madman1]

I have the eVGA NF4 SLI board. Its cheap, works fine, no complaints about it. I'm not overclocking though. Some people seem to find that this board is picky with RAM though.

I've got it. It's not an expensive board - I wanted something cheap to move into a real PCIe based system, and it hasn't disappointed. I'm running CPU/Mem at 250MHz right now. Only had the board a few days so I haven't really started playing with it, but it's rock solid stable so far. No complaints.

It's not better than your DFI board for overclocking. If you want overclocking, I'd say go with a DFI or Epox.

The Ultra-D's have been blocked from turning into SLI, from what I have heard lately. Shortly after the release of the mod, nvidia blocked it both by driver and hardware.

Not totally true- the hardware block was adding epoxy over the contacts that needed to be connected which can easily be scraped off, and if you read the following thread, it says how a driver block is impossible, Save your $$ and mod ur current board, ill be doing it this week :)

I'm overclocking on the eVGA board. I find it very stable, and it seems to have a lot of options for voltage settings as well.

Running 250mhz at 1:1 right now with some OCZ PC3700 RAM.

For a $90 board, you can't go wrong, especially since you should be able to sell your current mobo for that.

[windwaker]

Correct. I read that new nVidia drivers will block the Ultra-D mod in a mobo review. If you don't mind spending hours or even weeks looking for the working old driver, by all means. I still don't get it why DFI keeps making the board with SLI when the SLI is blocked.

It's probably cheaper to manufacture one kind of board - and then disable features - then to manufacture 2 seperate boards.

[yycraven]

thanks everyone for the advice, I will sell my DFI ultra -d and keep my evga. Maybe later go to a DFI SLi mobo. since I have bought a new eVGA 7900GTX 512mb video card.. but i will keep reading and see what else everyone has to say.

thanks again

What about the ASUS sli mobo's are they any good for overclocking.
thanks again

[windwaker]

ASUS is known for stability. Personally, I'd get a sub-150 SLI board, ASUS, MSI or Gigabyte. They can overclock somewhat, but are no match for DFI.

With your luck, stay away from overclocking!

I'm presently running a modded DFI board...one of the newer ones with the epoxy. I scraped off the epoxy very carefully, bridged the points, and now it's an SLI. I've run 2 7800GT's on this very board, with 7 day old Detonator and Chipset drivers, and run the FSB to 320 stably with my opty 144. Everything works perfectly.......

I'd keep what you have unless you are super-paranoid about warranties.

apparently lots of peple call this board stable and has lots of functions

SLI
PCI-E
SATA 3Gb/s

and for just about $90

i'm trying to get one too just for a backup. but cant' seem to find them for 90 anymore

if you must go SLI then sell your board and buy the evga for a straight non hassle way of obtaining sli and having a few bux left over after selling your board.

Personally I would just have one single video card , like a used 7800GTX or a new 7900GT, redcently a 78 GTX sold for 355, personally I think it is a better option then running sli since sli can reduce your overclocking potential

Bingo. The only reason I'd buy an SLI board is for a RAID card or an ATI Havok physics setup.
