Hayward, CA (March 7, 2005) – The New DFI LANPartyUT NF4 Ultra-D motherboard is setting performance records around the world! LegionHardware recently reviewed the motherboard and was completely impressed by its overclocking ability and robust stability. Effortlessly, LegionHardware was able to overclock the front side bus to 313 MHz, highest they have seen in their lab. Combining the rich feature set and attention put into the design of the motherboard, LegionHardware gave it a near perfect overall score and a LegionHardware Performance Award. Here is an excerpt from the article:
“Clearly, DFI have focused heavily on delivering what is possibly going to be the best nForce4 motherboard. For those looking for an nForce4 Ultra motherboard, the search is over. The LANPartyUT NF4 Ultra-D is irresistible, especially given the price tag of just $140 US. With such an impressive level of performance, stability and overclocking, there are few that offer such a well balanced mix.
Users after an SLI motherboard should seriously consider shelling out the extra $60 US for the LANPartyUT NF4 SLI-DR. Due to the fact that all three DFI nForce4 motherboards utilize the same PCB design and BIOS version, the same abilities can be expected. This means that all three boards will perform the same, overclock the same and they all feature dual PCIe 16x slots. This is great news as the overclocking abilities of the LANPartyUT NF4 Ultra-D are unbelievable. The BIOS setup offers a huge amount of overclocking related options, for example the memory voltage can be boosted to 4.0v and the vCore can go as high as 2.1v. These options no doubt worked well, as I was able to achieve a massive 313MHz FSB overclock.
There is so much overclocking potential to be unleashed with the LANPartyUT NF4 Ultra-D, if only I had more time to spend with the board before I had to get this review done. Nevertheless, the 313MHz FSB overclock came too easily and for this reason I am certain there is far more that this board can offer. This is an aspect of the motherboard I could go on and on about, but instead I will simply say that the LANPartyUT NF4 Ultra-D is by far the best overclocking motherboard I have ever used. Overclocking with this board is very enjoyable and therefore I can easily imagine users spending hours on end playing with the settings in an effort to maximize their system performance.
Overall, the DFI LANPartyUT NF4 SLI-DR a highly respectable product and is certainly one of the best nForce4 contenders. DFI continue to impress with their LANParty series, and can now certainly be considered a true competitor in the enthusiast market. They have been fairly quick to the market with their nForce4 solutions, much faster than they have with previous motherboards. Although, motherboard manufacturers such as ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI had their boards on the market a few months ago, the wait for DFI’s solutions has been well worth it. Those that already own the LANPartyUT NF4 SLI-DR will agree that it's one of the most impressive motherboards ever created.”
