Asus, DFI, MSI Give Mobos The Crossfire Treatment

Overclocking

DFI's LANParty motherboard reputation is stellar, so we thus began to overclock at a higher clock speed than what the Asus could achieve. We successfully maintained a clock speed at 335 MHz on our first attempt, and subsequently were able to achieve 343 MHz - and this could be done at a slightly elevated chipset voltage only. It is obvious that DFI's four phase voltage regulator design works the way it was intended to. We also liked the Genie BIOS submenu that integrates all the important settings into one single page.
