DFI LANParty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G Socket AM2 Motherboard Review

The combination of overclocking, additional onboard features and the bling factor of a glowing board, its no wonder DFI is making a killing. Now they’ve started to introduce 5 phase digital PWM’s (apparently DFI is the first company to start using these on desktop motherboards) which are normally reserved for high-end server motherboards and are more susceptible to overclocking than regular capacitors. DFI are also using copper heatsinks on this board rather than cheaper aluminium heatsinks which don’t dissipate heat as effective as copper.

…only just failing to receive our Editors Choice – we’re giving it our “Best Performance” because of the impressive overclocking results.

Despite being on the expensive side of motherboard pricing, much like the ASUS Crosshair AM2 board, you get what you pay for – ASUS packs in a lot of very good features but DFI comes pretty damn close offering plenty of features to make enthusiasts smile and it is a little cheaper than the ASUS Crosshair.
