Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe vs DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR
I currently have an Asus A8N-SLi Premium, and I still havent used it (got a mate thats interested in buying). Im a complete newbie to overclocking, the most I've done is my graphics card at OS level. I've yet to buy a processor, but will probably go for a Opteron 165-175, due to the great things I've been hearing about them. I currently have 2gb OCZ PC3200 Platinum 2-3-2-5 mem, Tagan 580w PSU and an Asus EN7800GTX Top Edition (dual slot) in a Akasa Eclipse 62 case with 2x 120mm Akasa case fans.
Overclocking seems like 'fun', and I really want to try and get the most I can from the hardware I've got, out of the Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe and DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR, what do you guys suggest?
I hear Asus renames options in the BIOS which is really going to through me if I use a guide to overclock, but I do like the spacing between pci-express lanes to allow for 2 of my graphics cards if I so wished. I went for the Premium because of the passive heatsink previously also, and as far as I'm aware the northbridge has a fan, which doesn't bother me as long as its not horrendously noisy.
Gimme your feedback :) I think its about time I got this build complete, I started purchasing bits in August :D :o
