Hi,

I am putting together a new box and I its been quite awhile since I last overclocked a machine (think AMD K62-300 heh). I am looking for advice on which mobo to pick for my needs given the following hardware I am using.

AMD 64 X2 4200+
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 pro heatsink
eVGA Geforce 6800GS (x2 for SLI)
OCZ Powerstream 520W SLI
Mushkin Extreme 2GB (2x1GB) SDRAM DDR 500 (PC 4000)
SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
Cooler Master Stacker 830 Case

Now I am torn between the DFI LPUT SLI Expert board and the ASUS A8N32SLI Deluxe boards. From what I have read it sounds like the DFI is an all around better board with or without OCing and the main benefit to choosing the ASUS is the SLI dual 16x. Given such a configuration what should I go with, not worried about the price differential between the boards.

Thanks,
Jason
 
If your not overclocking go with Asus, but if you intend to overclock i highly suggest the DFI because of the bios, and control you get over your system not to mention its a rock stable board.
 
True, this asus board will do fine for most overclocking. Unless you want extreme overclocking.

I would pick the DFI but they are almost on par.

This is also a really nice board for the ultra high end segment. 16 X SLI, 4.1 VDIMM... only downside is three phase power:
MSI K8N Diamond Plus

The ASUS will easily match the stability and overclockability of the Expert board. The real difference really lies in whether or not you'll make use of the extended voltages offered by the DFI board ... if you will then odds are you wont be asking for advice

Even though the ASUS board there is easily the equivalent/superior of the DFI board?
