3 PCI slots

of interest

DDR2 Ram 1.8V –range not shown
CPU VTT 1.2V – range 1.20-1.60V
NB Core 1.2V – range not shown
NB PLL 1.8V – range 1.80-2.50V
NB PLL 2.2V – range 1.20-1.45V

NB FSB Strapping Auto, 100,133,166,200,266,300, and 333

Address/Command Timing Auto 1T,2T, and 3T

can anyone explain why there are two NB PLL? BTW wat is this voltage means?

Even clockgen voltage control...gotta love it.

that bios page gives me lots of hope for 550+ fsb...before you short out everything with @#^! volts.
on my christmas list.

LP-RD680-should be the best nf 680i board once released.....
this is nice for the nvidia/sli guys...
reminds me of sli-dr/eXpert boards,
hopefully LP-680 will perform well ...:)

"2 ATI CrossFire graphics cards (each operates at x8 bandwidth)."
should DFI mention at least a support of 1 NVIDIA card? :rolleyes:

Do you know any board that doesn't support ? :slap:

How does CPU VID differ from CPU VTT?

Damn! When this board is out someone will have to make a guide to the different voltages, explaining what they do. I don't think I dare touch more then a few of them when I get my board :)

Anyone seen any sites staking preorders in the EU? Or just any place that is shipping to Europe.

Yeah, anyone want to make an easy to understand guide that explains what each voltage option represent, how they work and how they will affect overclocking? :)

I'm sure many will like the ultra-d... of which there are numerous, once people actually get the boards in their hands... right now its still under NDA.

I know people who read the specs and say this board supports only ATI video cards :)

Well then they are wrong. As long as it has a PCI-E slot you can run just about any PCI-E card in it.
The problem is when you´re going multigpu.

It runs NV7900GTX SLI faster than the 680i boards with the same 85.14 drivers. ;)

Now that is funny. :woot:

aight thanks, also is it still slated for the 15th like I read on some sites and also someone here said it was the 15th any news?

There does not appear to be a cpu/mem divider setting. Memory clk seems totally independant of cpu clk.

There are not any memory dividers on the RD600 per say. The memory clock is true async if you want it be. I can set DDR2-1103 with a 283FSB or DDR2-981 if I want as an example. The memory clock is totally independent of the CPU FSB in async mode and it works very well. :D

yeah, but I can set a 3:4 divider if async mode is turned of, right?

There are no need for dividers. That's the best thing about the RD600 i reckon.

no need for dividers? that sounds awesome, cant wait to see some first results with the board :D

but some things on the dfi product page doesnt sound so great to me :(
- Expansion Slots
  # 3 PCI Express x16 slots for ATI CrossFire and ATI Physics 2+1 Configuration (2 Graphics + 1 Physics)
  - 2 ATI CrossFire graphics cards (each operates at x8 bandwidth).
  - 1 ATI Physics graphics card operates at x2 bandwidth.
but overall the boards could be better then intels 975x chipsets, we will see...
