Are there any results with quads yet?
I don't have a Quad yet, I thought I saw something about it but not sure.. There should be a few people with quads to test it soon.
According to the Egg, They have an item number, but can't list until the warehouse has them logged in. According to DFI delivery was 30 apr, which I confirmed with the Egg. The Egg also said that if the CA warehouse does not have enough room ( how much room can 45 boards take?!:mad: ) they will be sent to either TN or NJ.Quote:

Back on topic, I'm definitely getting one of these to replace my lackluster AW9D which seems limited at 350FSB on my E4300 even on the 1333 strap. Maybe should sell the CPU as well and get an E6420... hmmm
Ninjalane seemed to like the motherboard. Here's the review link:

Honestly...any review site with the word "Ninja" in their naming scheme must be trustworthy. :rolleyes:
Btw, everyone who is about to order from the 'egg, in order to quickly get into the ordering servers you should press ALT-F4 right before checking out. I've had other people do this numerous times, and its really helped ME be the first to order. :slap:
Yeah dog i use F4 also. Works wonders. No telling how many times i've ordered something just to get to check out and my item was deleted due to no stock. :slapass:Quote:

Tony has found some nice memory performance for 2mb cache cpu's...

Quad Performance still needs work. Stable FSB is around 425, boot at 450, however memory performance is not up to speed yet on the Quad. DFI is working on it, expect further BIOS updates this week.Quote:

Probably all boards will go in like 5-10 mins max.
I sit at a desk ALLLLLLLLLL DAYYYYYYY LONGGGGGGGGG :D I pop in to the egg once or twice an hour when the latest and greatest is pending...Quote:

BTW, what's the best way to monitor the Egg for new stuff... I'm a noob at shopping there... I just keep searching for "DFI 680".
first tab, refresh every so often. heh heh product lust! Gotta get to building, this is effecting my schedule.
I really dont know why i'm so worried about it. Me EVGA is perfect.. No issues. Yet i bought Eyeborgs DFI and i'm still monitoring the egg every 5 minutes. I also have a pre-order in at excaliber. I think i'll cancel that one though.
Since some are guessing sell out time, lets do price as well. I say $359..
$269.00...Quote:

I remember somebody mentioning earlier in this thread that cost on this 680i board was 260. If that was correct, they probably wont sell it for under 300.Quote:

Is there a list price for it anywhere?
Huh? :confused: Youre thinking is way off for one. DFI needs to compete with no-one, esp EVGA.Quote:

Had anyone confirmed Newegg actually has received a shipment of 680i LT's?
I didn't ask them about Newegg, but maybe. I just figured what the hell...so I emailed DFI and they responded with "Supposed to be this Friday, 5/4." Not very personal :)Quote:

Newegg will never give information on new products pending and they are firm on this. :fact:
Kinda like saying people on Bush's staff would never leak information to the press :DQuote:

If the availability of this board is similar to the 965-S, I'm going to stay away from DFI complete. I hate this game. Only 45 boards to newegg? What a joke.
-Collin-
More for us!Quote:

Sooo......I found a place where you can order it, and it ain't the 'Egg. Though it doesn't say if it is in stock. They have a DFI Infinity P965S motherboard coming in the "2nd week of May" so thats probably when the DFI 680i LT will come too.
The website lists it at $289.99
So ~$289.99 for the board. This is from www.atacom.com.
look at reseller ratings, atacom is know for saying they have products in stock when in fact they do not and saying it will arrive on X date and then keep pushing the date forward
just for your info
Agreed. I have 1st hand experience with this. You have been warned!Quote:

I did place a pre-order with them as I do not have time to watch newegg all week, studying for finals week. So for anyone that can't get one from the newegg batch, motherboardpro.com will them them also.
Sorry, I'm not an employee. Anyways, I was just informing you guys.
1st post...That sounds like a Motherboardprodotcom employee..lolQuote:

hopefully there's only a couple of us who really want it on here right ?? =/
Yeah just me & you:DQuote:

count me in also> Been waiting! Someone buy 2 boards and keep one for me!
I'm gonna pass on this shipment and wait for the one in 2 weeks. Frank Wong has guaranteed me a board in that one. So I ordered the e6600 this week from the Egg (arriving today) and will try to figure out which video card to get next week. I really look forward to the feedback on this board. Plus I'm way too much of a noob to tackle this one without you to guide me through it;)Quote:

I was targetting this board but with the arrival of P35 chipset I will aim for Asus P5K. Newer chipset is pretty much faster and will ship tomorrow. I will not wait for an out of date chipset, even if brough by DFI.
DFI is loosing the run on the boards market (which I am very sad with).
If only i wasn't running SLI.... It sucks being forced to use the nforce chipset! I have no choice :(Quote:

morning everyone. Count me in as another who wants the DFI 680i LT.
I'm actually getting my evga 680i board today. woohoo. But I won't be testing it until tonight.
dfi 680i....the board i wanted 4 months ago :brick: :bsod: :rolleyes:
I agree for many.. But for me, my 3rd PCI-E video card is blockin the air intake on my upper 8800GTX and it now runs 12-15c hotter than the lower 8800. The DFI has a little different PCI/PCI-E configuration which would put the 3rd video card at the very bottom leaving plenty of breathing room for the 88's. also the 2 extra SATA ports are BIG for me. I really do not expect the DFI to perform "better" than the EVGA, I just hope its as good. In my opinion, the EVGA pwns every other 680i out right now. I haven't owned all the other 680i's while they had their most mature bios, but i have owned them all. I went back to the EVGA every time. SOoo, If you do not need the extra 2 SATA ports, and the PCI/PCI-E layout is ok for you, then i would also recommend the EVGA. A1 or T1 of course.Quote:

Thanks nugzo.
This really is a tough decision on the DFI board with P35 being so close. I really don't know much about that new chipset, but I know enough to wonder if a 680i LT chipset board is worth $320. :confused:
-Collin-
None of the $300+ boards have been worth the 300+...Quote:

Roger That. Me too
I'm in this for the move to SLI so P35 is of no interest. I just hope the DFI engineers have learned form the competitors mistakes and that it's a solid bios from the get go.
I'm out, Hardware is gone and Laptop is one click away. I feel dirty...

Dude, best of luck.
For what it's worth, I have an Asus gaming laptop with a 17 monitor and I gotta say I love it. I replaced the stock 1gb with 2gb Gskill 667 and flashed to a better bios. The video card's a mobile ATI 1600 tweaked just a bit with ATI tool. I can play Oblivion, Quake 4 etc. no problem with pretty good rates. It's fun to just set up anywhere. That being said, the machine your looking at should be a beast!
As far as the DFI 680 - hurry up with this thing!
I received my EVGA 680i A1 board today. Stupid Thermalright didn't package any stupid mounting hardware for the HR-05-SLI so I'll have to deal with the stock cooling for now.
Anyways, I'll check back to this thread in a bit. Right now, I'm going to have some 680i overclocking FUN.
Hopefully the DFI 680i will come out soon.
:cool:
guys i think what we need to do is come up with a prority list for who gets this MB. those who have been waiting the longest get to order from the first batch, those who recently came on board for the 680i get bumped way way down on the list.
who's with me.
Barring any outright hardware issues I think you'll like your Evga just fine...at the very least pull the stock cooling and replace thermal grease and install the fan to NB...it gets wicked hot when pushed...Quote:

Right now I'm waiting for my hard drive to format to 300GB. I'm actually installing windows Vista 32bit, since I can't find my Windows XP Pro disc right now. :confused:
I'm going to play some god of war 2.
On a darker note, my 37" Sharp TV has no "replacement parts at this time". $@(&*$#@ $#@*&*!@ SHARP!!! Arg...you spend $1000 on a TV and it arrives DOA, and then the parts at NOT in stock at Sharp to fix it. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Well, I got tired of waiting for Newegg and so I ordered via motherboardpro.com. They are getting some in tomorrow or Friday (overnight shipping is costing me $25). If I understand it correctly, their shipment is coming directly from DFI''s NA HQ in CA. They are having mine drop-shipped to my US address directly from DFI for pickup on Friday. They have about 10 more left in their allocation right now. They are newcomers to the business but keen to make a good impression so it seems like the risk is probably low with respect to having a bad experience. However, their actions will speak for themselves. Don't take this as an endorsement yet... until I've got a working board in hand.
Good luck bud...hope the board is worth the premium you're dishing out just to have it in hand. I'm just a spectator for the moment (my Evga works just fine) watching to see how things shape up. If I see folks getting good results with high memory clocks I may try one out in a month or so.Quote:

also; it clocks quads well.
