ABIT NF7
EPOX 8RDA3 PLUS
DFI NFII ULTRA INFINITY

My NF7 (sig) are half dead, with voltage regulators and temp sensors defective.
I'm on the budget, medium to high o/c and game minded, so, which one to buy? :eek:
 
I switched to DFI after using a 8RDA+. The DFI is outstandingly better in performance then EPOX. EPOX has really gone into the crappers over the last 4 years. I got an NF7-S from Newegg but it was a dud on arrival, so I chose the DFI after that mishap. I haven't looked back.
 
Tnx a lot guys. I will choose Abit, again. Just ordered an NF7-S.
Next week I will have an updated sig. ;)
 
Sig updated. Now I'm just playing with latest Tictac bios.
With my old'n dead Nf7, I never passed 200 fsb. Now, just for start, I'm at 210 mhz, 2 days straight, rock solid.
Note my cheapo Infineon ram. I can smell those sticks burning at 220+ :D
 
I can't eBay my Abit cause I'm not in Usa or Uk.
I know Dfi has an better fsb overclock, but I cant afford better memory, so it would not be any diference.
And about the Dfi sound being better, I think they both uses nVidia SoundStorm, so it should not havy that diference.
