Hehe, quite true! Agreed, the DFI is notorious for problems with Corsair XMS sticks. AFAIK people have put up a couple of "settings" to get around with working optimally with them, not sure on this though!Yamaraj said:It seems to me that Oscar has designed the boards purposely not to work with Value RAMs, keeping in sync with the 'Enthusiast' image. But what about XMS? Corsair XMS isn't a value brand.
For rest of the users Infinity series is there. Good stable platform.
LOL if you look at the layout, its not the expert but a normal dfi nf4 board . The 1-14 bios was the cause of all those burnt cpus. That had been fixed before most people even got the board. OPB is one of those guys who gets pre production hardware and hence, he'll face the problems all betas/alpha stuff are associated with. The RDX chip killing issue is sorted out as well. If you read the thread a bit further, you'll see that Tony (the OCZ guy) has been running a dozen ATI boards with no issue whatsoever. The fact of the matter is DFI is the only board peepz overclock with these days. When you overclock, nothing is certain and things might happen. Thats the luck of the draw. If you wanna run at stock, you are better off with asus.Yamaraj said:DFI eXpert kills AMD FX-57 and X2 4600+. Way to go OC'ers. hyeah:
Ockar Wu be damned for his leet hacks. May a 1.42 OC fuse his critical nerves.
