DFI LAN Party NF590 SLI Intel Early Sample Test

Maxit

VR-Zone take a sneak peak at an early DFI Lan Party motherboard for Core 2 Duo processors.

"It has been a while since we last did an in-depth test on DFI LAN Party Motherboards. Their previous motherboard based on the Intel 975X chipset, the DFI Infinity 975X offered great performance but had trouble keeping up with the rest of the pack in terms of overclocking of the Front Side Bus Speed, a very important aspect of a motherboard for the Intel Core 2 Duo overclockers with the locked and low multipliers of the CPUs. A few days ago, we were very fortunate to have an early sample of their latest Intel platform Motherboard shipped to us, the DFI LAN Party NF590 SLI Intel Edition, based on the NVIDIA NF590 SLI chipset. I must admit this is one board I have been waiting for quite a while."
