DFI’s LANParty UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert motherboard

Well this is good news. Speaking for myself, I actually had some concerns that the original nForce4 SLI had been pushed aside sort of quickly. Regardless, the latest boards with this setup are going to certainly have their work cut out for them. That my friends, is a sure thing.

Despite the fact that NVIDIA released its nForce4 SLI X16 chipset months ago, the original nForce4 SLI is still alive and well. In fact, some motherboard manufacturers have passed over the X16 in favor of new designs that use the plain old nForce4 SLI. That’s an understandable strategy given the nForce4 SLI’s rough feature parity with its successor, whose extra PCI Express lanes convey few real-world performance benefits.

One of the latest motherboards to revisit the nForce4 SLI is DFI’s LANParty UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert. Don’t let the unnecessarily awkward name put you off, though. DFI has built the Expert with serious overclocking in mind, and endowed it with everything you’d expect from a high-end enthusiast board, including dual PCI Express x16 slots, auxiliary Gigabit Ethernet and Serial ATA RAID chips, six board layers and four-phase power, and a BIOS brimming with tweaking and overclocking options.
