DFI has once again developed a motherboard that caters to the enthusiasts but also carries riches needed in a fully-fledged multimedia PC. The overclocking potential is simply marvelous with my 3000+ Venice breaking 300*9 and even posting at 315*9! Read on...

We were left conflicted about the DFI RS482 Infinity. While it is loaded with an overclocking friendly BIOS and performance comparable with standard ATX Socket 939 motherboards it is left with the ATI SB450 south bridge and an inconvenient layout. While the inconvenient layout can be easily forgiven the ATI SB450 south bridge isn't. While the SB450 supports plenty of PCI-E, PCI slots, and SATA connections they're all SATA150 ports without support for Native Command Queuing. There's also the abysmal USB performance.

The DFI RS482 Infinity gives you all the options that a full size DFI motherboard would. DFI give us all the same overclocking and tweaking that they are known for. Going into the BIOS without knowing what board you were using would make you think that you were on a LanParty edition board. The overclocking of the RS482 is not as high as the other series, but is not shabby at all. Obtaining a 290MHz HTT is nothing to squeeze at when working with a board that most will use as a LAN box or a HTPC system. The inputs are all that anyone would need if they intend on building a media system. The sound quality from the Realtek 7.1 is great and the video quality is great on TV playback. The audio scenes in the movie in Hustle and Flow never sound so good...
