maxpower

i'm looking for a sli mobo with Duel PCI Express x16 @ 16x each in sli. not 8 x 8 in sli.
Ne one know of any good ones out there atm @ reasonalbe prices.

Also.

i have an opteron 146. i o'cd to 2.5g but it wasent stable for a long time. would crash randomly esp when play Obliv.
Just woundering what setting's other ppl have theirs at etc. and at what speed?

I have the earlier model and its prolly one of the best boards iv ever used.

*edit, actually it dosent have 2x16 pci-e slots............ pretty sure this Gigabyte has 2x16, but iv no idea what its like.

And i think theres a good sli DFi board out there for overclocking.

Dooom

The Asus A8N-SLI32 has 2 x16 PCI slots iirc.

can't help you with the mobo question but have an opteron 146 overclocked to 2.8ghz at stock voltage (32hours prime 95 stable - didn't fail, just stopped priming ) 24/7 and have had it at 3ghz (24hours prime stable) with some extra voltage.

Am running a dfi lanparty ut sli-d mainboard with 2gigs of Gskill pc4000 hz series ram. The ram can run 1:1 up to 544 but because i'm at 2.8 i have it on a divider (i think it's 9/10).

Other settings:
Have the HT set to 3
HTT at 280
Multi = x10

I noticed that ram timings had a big effect on my stability when i was running 1:1 but as the divider has me close to its rated speed it's fine with regular timings.

does the new dfi nf4 ut dr sli expert not have 2 16x slots ?

If its anything like the one i have its a fabulous overclocker

Would you really need 2 x16 slots, anyway?
