DFI - DFI Lanparty UT nF3-250Gb S754 Motherboard Review

September 13th 2004 | Hardware

DFI Lanparty boards has always been well sought after as it promises very impressive overclocking options. Today, we have the opportunity to test out this new board from DFI - LP UT nF3-250Gb. This new board is is based on the Nvidia NF3-250Gb chipset. As we know. the nF3-250gb appeals to overclockers as it offers a FIX AGP to 66 or a fix AGP freq. This allows one to overclock the FSB without affecting the stability as it does not use a divider on other chipsets.

. . .This board has very good features set and there is firewire, 4 USB, Gigabit Ethernet, NV Firewall functions on board. It also comes with 4 SATA ports (2 supported by chipset and another 2 by Marvell chipset). The board also comes with 7.1ch audio supported by Realtek alc850 chipset.. ..Overall, DFI has made a super tweakable board which makes overclockers drool. If we can overclock it up to 308 x 8, I think you can do better than we do :)

Pros
Super overclocking options for tweaking
4 SATA ports with RAID 0,1 JBOD
Power Button and Reset Button
Single chipset
Cons
No IDE RAID
No active cooling for chipset heatsink
BIOS needs more tuning for default performance
Ratings
Overall Rating : 9.3 / 10
