eVGA nForce 680i SLI Desktop Motherboard - nVIDIA nForce 680i SLI Chipset - Socket T LGA-775

Most powerful motherboard I've had...

Strengths: Finally getting the best out of my e6600 - p5b-e plus was ok but felt lacking. Striker extreme was unstable and blew it's stack - will be selling replacement. EVGA's board just works, NCQ is even on..

Weakness: None stability wise, just difficult placement of main SATA bank and case pins..apart from this minor thing, I have found no issues and boy do I know issues!! Maybe just luck? Not a chance...

I love this motherboard!! The last board similar for mine in stability/fun etc. was, yes A7N8x, nf2 mobo..This is similar feeling, everything works, stable up to 430fsb so far with Flex9200...My Striker Ex. was rubbish from day 1, had to use a 7800gtx to install XP ffs!!!Eventually Striker died, vendor gave me wrong mobo back, so I took a chance...Will be selling said Striker:)

Evga 680i Motherboard

Strengths: Lifetime warranty, great for over-clocking, HD audio.

Weakness: The optional fan is a little loud.

My first Evga product purchase, I'm pleased with its performance and ability to over clock my Q6600. It still seems a little expensive; the upcoming Intel chipset that offers PCI-e 2.0 should hopefully take care of that soon. I have read a few complaints (from the Evga forums) about how the board’s manufacturer (Foxconn) used too much heat paste and that causes some problems down the line.

Fantastic motherboard

Strengths: Easy set up. On board LED gives status codes (even before POST beeps). It comes with all the connectors and cables you'll need.

Weakness: SATA connections - they are not numbered according to the manual, and 2 are parallel to the board, so are difficult to connect to once the board is in the case.

The board was easy to set up, and the documentation was reasonable. It includes IDE, floppy, and SATA cables, as well as backside/card slot connectors for USB (4x2.0), Firewire, and serial ports. It already has USB and Firewire ports on the board, but if you need a lot, or have a serial device, it's nice to have all of those connectors. The BIOS was easy to flash from a CD at boot, and recognized...

eVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1, truly the enthusiasts board

Strengths: Excellent overclocking options (optional manual voltage inputs for all your components) LIFETIME WARRANTY!! excellent customer support from eVGA employees 680i Chipset - options galore Dual 16x SL

Weakness: 680i will only support next gen 45nm intel processors with BIOS flash 680i is slowly becoming dated with intel's P35 chipset released, and high-end X38 chipset No southbridge fan

Just bought another one of these. This will support a 1066 and 1333 FSB. This is a great motherboard for anyone using a socket 775 CPU. Overclocked an E6600 to 3.5 GHz using only air cooling! If you do plan to do a good overclock, it is highly recommended you ditch the intel stock CPU heatsink and buy an aftermarket cooler. Supposedly these 680i boards will eat up RAM and spit it out, but all you...

Quality motherboard

Strengths: Overclocking, onboard error display, onboard power and reset buttons, 3 PCI Express slots, lifetime warranty when registered.

Weakness: None.

This motherboard was built with gamers in mind. It possesses the ability for extreme overclocking and doesn't have all odd colors motherboard colors! It has been quite stable in the months that I have used it and had no problems whatsoever with it so far. I would recommend it to any gamer looking for a powerful motherboard with all the needed features without the extra junk.

Great Motherboard

Strengths: Sli support for 700 and 800 series, good 7.1 sound, memory set up options

Weakness: None

I start with a E6600 procesor, 2 7600 GT on SLI mode 2 gigs of 800 Cosair Dominator, now with 2 8600 GT on SLI rates 5.3 on W Vista, good for gaming, videos and internet, it's a beauty

Very Satisfied.

Strengths: Endless overclocking options in BIOS. Onboard POST LED.

Weakness: NVidia nTune (provided) has bugs. SATA connections don't match manual. South bridge is impossible to get to.

This board is running a E6420 @ 3.3 GHz, FSB @ 1.4 GHz, OCZ DDR2-8500 @ 720 MHz 33331T, and EVGA 8800GTS OC'ed. Make sure you have plenty of room in your case to take advantage of all the features this board has to offer without crowding it with cables.
