well if you actually talk to someone who knows a little more about DDR3 than the average Joe ;) you would not be saying that AT ALLQuote:

Hmm a little late to the party but I guess better late than never! I think a fan for the pwm cooling would be great. As the pwm can get quite hot once overclock, this was the same issue with Abit's 680i. Also I hope the bios dont disappoint, we need more voltage on nb/vdimm! Looking good so far tho...
hmm, LP-UT-NF-680i-LT-SLI-T2R
Does this mean that it's using the cheaper/cutdown 680i LT rather than the full 680i chipset?
This board looks great but I don't get why they don't just use solid caps instead.
Does anyone know which slots are for the SLI setup?
I can't imagine that DFI would set the 1st and 3rd slots for 16x slots like the other 680 mobos have been.
Good spot... better not be, or I'll be pissed :mad:Quote:

sweetness! heres to hoping for beyond 500+mhz fsb's :toast:
Dfi, Stop Using Hooks Please!
It doesn't look like they've changed much (except the MCH heat sink) since the original Dec. preview... (pics from VR-Zone)

Although I'm sure they've fixed some of the trace mods as shown in that last pic and hopefully fine-tuned the GTL controls even further.
I see no reason to get reeally excited about DFI products any more... the last great board they made was the SLI-DR... all others since have been poor, not of the best build quality, buggy imo.
Give me a Gigabyte any day of the week now.
well it could very well be the only retail board that has good quad core overclocking for 680i chipsets ... yes the EVGA 680i A1 revision is not availible instore yet
Heretic! :p:Quote:

is there any serious place to pre order one ?
I'll gladly second your first statement but hesitate at endorsing your second! ;)Quote:

I don´t trust DFI anymore after having two dfi experts dying on me.
First survived a year the second I hvae had for a month and already the nvidia SATA ports is dead :(
Flytek, please change the topic to DFI LT UT 680i SLI-T2R/G as current one is confusing. It is not LT version of the mobo just pure 680i :)
WTF is with the PCI-E X16 slots? Most of the high end videocards are dual slots, and you can run them in all three slots!!! Also, the board looks a little..bare if you get what I'm saying. Compared to previous DFI boards, this one has a lot less 'things'.

I agree..my RD600 died after changing to sync mode..bios corrupted and bit the dustQuote:

Really sad..I love my DFI SLI-DR
Mr. Wu used to only have to deal with one platform and one chipset... maybe he's just spread a bit too thinly these days :(
very good point...but RD600 last official bios was 12/22...3 mo agoQuote:

I really hope that heatsink they have on the PWM's does a good job. One of the biggest headaches I have had on my IN9 is keeping the temps on the digiPWM undercontrol. Ideally they would include some kind of removable fan arrangement to stick on the top of it should you need msome extra cooling in there.
