    What would you ask this company if you could ask them anything?

    Mosfets

    Is it true you use cheaper mosfets for the Lanparty B (amd board) compared to the NF7-S and other nForce2 boards, because with your higher voltage allowances i feel that it's a critical mistake, certain boards undervolt by 0.2 in some cases and i'm pretty sure the mosfets are to blame as some pretty high-end PSU's have been used to demonstrate it.

    Mosfets are not to blame for this - at all. It is down to the other circuitry, a mosfet is a switch and load device, with no loss at all apart from thermal dissipation.

    Question still stands, reason doesn't.

    But your stating that they use cheap mosfets - who cares? Do you have any proof of this? Also this is not affecting under volting. It could be down to the BIOS not reading properly or a resistor not working properly / needing change.

    Supposedly they use a component which the manufacturer only rates to 1.8V but DFI uses upto 2V with some kind of voltmod ex factory.

    Certainly the voltage regulation appears to be poor on my NF II Infinity.
