My signature speaks for it’s self. The DFI motherboard is a great for overclocking. Follow recommended power requirements with a good PSU and somewhat decent RAM and you’re good to go.

While some people have pretty good success with a DFI board in a plug and play, you do need to prepare yourself for doing some tweaking in the BIOS. This motherboard is designed and built for overclocking. It’s an extreme enthusiast board.

I voted Asus as I've had more of them then anything else, but Abit is as good. The Asrock I'm using is also a good one.

DFI Europe's support is good, as was the overclocking last time I owned one (Lanparty UT nF3) but I like the features on current Gigabyte boards and have got on with them in the past. Looks like Asrock have become a serious contender in the time I've been (mostly) out of the scene though!

Speaking of EPoX, the last board I owned (an 8KDA3J) made me swear never to buy one again. Aside from the numerous BIOS problems and self-resetting CMOS, who uses a shoddy 2-phase voltage regulator on a modern board?!

I voted ASRock,i have bought 4 m/b's and none of them dissapointed me.(i killed one with some mod's).The second I prefer is DFI.

I also like ASUS and ABIT,but i had some minor problems with these m/b's.

I am not satisfied at all with MSI.

Hah, only 2 prefer DFI. DFI sucks. It died within weeks and warranty and support sucks.
