nForce4 problems? @ TechReport

Published by

My article about building my new PC brought a lot of folks out the woodwork who shared similar problems with their nForce4-based systems. I work with nForce4 test rigs almost daily and have for the last year, and I've become acutely aware of some of the chipset's weaknesses and purported issues. Online forums are brimming with discussions of several key problems, as well. I noted some of these problems in my initial review of the nForce4 one year ago, and some of them persisted in April when the nForce4 SLI Intel Edition was introduced. From what I've gathered, the problems fall into a few main areas.
