[First Look] DFI 680i LT NF-680i LT SLI (56K Warning~~~)

[cursivearmy1]

motherboard of my dreams is finally here

good riddance to this evga 680i POS

Yeah the mobo of my dreams is on it's way (infinity dark)

[ooeric]

holy tard! thats the nicest DFI box ive ever seen.

[Bootup05]

My eyes, is it just them pics, my screen or what, that looks like the brightest, most illuminous board DFI has released so far, i know DFI like bright, but damn i almost burnt my eyes looking at them pci-e sockets!

Oh and no, its not a bad thing, i love that board

[NaeKuh]

I'm thinking the same, because some people are noobs.

well i for one would rather self mount a vital chipset like that then get one that came like this:






Seems like DFI's the first board company to get there NB cooling right. Cant say much for EVGA. Thank god she's under a DD maze4 chipset block.

Actually i should be saying its ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME. And that SB cooler looks like a evercool. AHAHAHAHAHA i guess DFI street spaming that cooler actually made DFI look at it.

The board looks great, and it looks like a great OCer if it has DFI's name to it. But i for one wont support it after what the company did to DFI STREET. I learned my basics in overclocking on that forum, and i really valued angry's advice on tweeking my SLI-DR -> Expert. But when they cut off that forum, they also cut off me as a customer. For now cant say anything matches EVGA's advance Lifetime RMA tho. Whats the warrenty like on that board??

[Bootup05]

That looks a lot like one of my old asus boards!

Not sure what company that board comes from, but i'd sure like to know what kind of things their employing to be able to apply paste THAT bad!

[rbsmontemor]

Resultsssssssss plzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[erwinz]

DFI were right to drop the contract on DFI Street. The Street still exists as much as it ever did under a new name.

You don't go bad mouthing the company you work for, unless you don't care that you could be out of a job.

I don't agree with a lot of things my company do, or the company whos services I represent through the company I'm actually contracted to. Yet they pay the good wages I get and when they say jump, I say how high?

If I do have a problem, I feed it back through the right channels, not go making it public or known to anyone it shouldn't concern.

[Ace-a-Rue]

excuse me, mekrel...what the heck are you talking about?

[Mekrel]

Sorry, forgot the put the quote in - didn't want to press the quote button and get the image in too.

[Rattle]

this is sweet, I hope my tuniq fits on this with that NB cooler... if it does this is my next mobo.

[Mekrel]

Yeah the NB cooler may be a problem for large air sinks, problem is you can't put it any more closer to the PCI-E slots due to the GPU too.

[Ace-a-Rue]

i have my doubts about the Tuniq fitting...if it does, i would bet the HS would touch the tuniq HS.

its the infamous overheating unstable chipset.... until i dropped it under water, which made it rock solid.... EVGA 680i rev. A1

and yeah EVGA board kills RAM .. i dont see a DFI thread with 200+ posts about people who got their RAM fried by 1 DFI mobo

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=124383
any DFI board killed more RAM than this board??

u dont release a mobo and kill people's RAM then replace their board ... that is call beta i believe, and yeah early adopters b4 A1 revision r beta testers who paid EVGA, XFX, BFG to be a beta tester

as far as my concern EVGA's board sux big time ... killed my OCZ RAM

i got a P5W DH died on me , too .. but it didnt take the RAM with it .. which is ok


back to topic:
