    DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D or SLi-DR Expert?

    I've been thinking of switching to a DFI board from my current vanilla Asus A8N-SLi to get a better OC. I have an Opteron 165 and 2GB OCZ PC4000 EB. I've narrowed it down to the two boards in the topic but based on what I read at DFI Street, DFI boards are quite picky about the power supply and...

    "safe" opteron 165 temps

    got mine at 2.8 ghz on stock volts, dual priming gets me 53c according to Asus probe. Asus probe has been notorious for its high readings but Speedfan says the same thing. I read that anything above 50c would slowly kill the cpu..any truth to this? whats the max load temp you guys think is safe...

    2 gig kits for Asus A8N-Sli

    Ive been doing research into a good 2gig kit (to be OC'd) to go with my Asus A8n-Sli but there doesn't seem to be any good answers. The G.Skill 2GB HZ kit seemed like a good choice but I've read numerous posts in other forums that 250 mhz is very hard to reach; those that do seem to only be able...
