Specifically speaking of the NF7 or the Lan Party B/Infinity.
I really don't know what to get any more... I'd like something that's easy to set up. Mount, plug stuff in, and go. I'd prefer not to have to buy any MOSFET or North/South Bridge cooling if possible.
I was pretty set on the NF7 but then I see that people are having a host of problems with the NF7-S, needing custom BIOS (which I don't mind flashing), MOSFET heatsinks, etc.
Basically, I'm looking for something to drop my CPU:
AXDA2500KV4d Y881757260150
AQXEA0334SPMW
in and be able to get the best OC on air (SP-97 or SLK900) that I can. (Running either PC3500 or PC4000 memory.)
I really don't care about onboard LAN (it's nice but I'm going to be getting a USB wireless adapter anyway) or SATA. (Again, a plus, but I probably won't be using SATA.)
A huge problem for me is that the DFI boards cost about $70.00 more and, as you know, a lot can be done with $70.00!
Not one week ago I knew exactly what I wanted. Now, after reading over countless numbers of posts, I'm not so sure anymore.
