Which mobo?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Bix VT

I've been looking at ePox for my next build, but there seems to be some confusion about which of ePox's SLi boards is better.

here on ePox's site, it seems that they are identical except for two 1394 and SATA II connections. EP-9NPA+ EP-9NPAJ

but on Newegg, it appears that the main differences are that the EP-9NPA+ has only a 4x HTT whereas the EP-9NPAJ has 5x. Newegg also states that the latter has a GbE onboard lan, whereas the former has a Cicada driven unit. EP-9NPA+ EP-9NPAJ

my question is: will any of these differences effect overclocking or performance in any way? would using the Sil3132 SATA (only availiable on the EP-9NPA+) be faster than the one controlled by the nForce4, or vice versa?

thanks in advance.

When I whas looking for a mobo for my upcoming AMD rig, a couple of days back. I read some about EP-9NPAJ SLi. And it seems to be a good mobo. Even if the reviewer thinks it is'nt a board for hardcore O.C.

hmm...after reading that review and seeing only a 260 fsb max oc, I'm considering one of the new DFI boards...

anyone have any experience with the DFI NF4 boards? preferably the SLi versions...
