yeah good point since that's the chip most of us have.the quad is not impressive tho

overheating make it slow down?i am not sure?

**scoobysix** · 11-11-2006, 04:45 PM

Does anyone know if the nTune utility works with the Asus 680i boards as well? Or do they just work with the reference designs like EVGA and BFG?

**DeToNaToR.cl** · 11-11-2006, 04:46 PM

did you set affinity for each super pi?

**coolaler** · 11-11-2006, 06:22 PM

Very nice board, very very nice, lots of features.
Glad to see ASUS setting the new standard, they kinda wanted to beat DFI and they managed to do that with style.

Nice features I agree, however i wouldnt say beaten yet at this point, the board doesnt seem to overclock worth a damn right now, which leaves me to beleave why its taking DFI so long on their board, if you think about it, DFI should have had the first board out since they scrapped the 590 chipset and began working on the 680i quite a while ago.

Even the EVGA retail boards dont seem to overclock all that well, most being stuck at 450 which isnt to to bad, but 333 for a $400.00 board is sad, mine as well buy the 590 chipset and save a couple hundred bucks at that point. I hope that things will change with some new more mature bios.

**Trice** · 11-11-2006, 08:43 PM

Have BIOS ever done THAT much though? I mean its not like its going to go oh hey 50MHz more on overclock!

**situman** · 11-11-2006, 09:21 PM

I haven't seen coolaler gone higher than 333fsb on any of his runs. Usually we would see max fsb as one of the tests.

Too True, ASUS boards are some of the best overclockers around, not to mention they also look good

**Alexandrus** · 11-11-2006, 11:03 PM

No 680i boards overclock well with Conroe or Kentsfield, so it's not just ASUS. We'll see when they're launched, I mean the ASUS and the others, maybeby then they'll make some BIOS tweaks or something.

**SimbaLion** · 11-11-2006, 11:05 PM

coolaler,

i may have missed it but what exactly does the lighting in the back look like? is it just that lightbulb thing? it's supposed to make plugging in things easier in the back...

He doesnt have the faceplate on, either the faceplate lights up or its led's backlighting the faceplate (prolly more likly) Not much point in messing with a faceplate though if you have it on a bench like he does.

Heres a Link that some pics of it lighted if that helps.

**Ibinco** · 11-12-2006, 12:46 AM

As for now all Kentfields tested on all 680i boards dont clock well. However im still yet to see how the striker does on the E6600 for example...i would love to see max FSB. Coolaler m8, go for it!!! Pleeeeeeaseeeeeeeee

**Alexandrus** · 11-12-2006, 05:34 AM

Apparently, all reports indicate that Allendale does over 500MHz FSB, but Conroe and Kentsfield do around 400MHz FSB. Not a great result, but...hopefully will improve in time.

**vanovich** · 11-12-2006, 06:22 AM

nice biose options . coolaler , doese this board have the wierd reboot when high fsb? like all other asus boards?

**erwinz** · 11-12-2006, 07:18 AM

yup coolaler.. please use your LxxxBxxxx E6600..

and lets see some high fsb..

**revenant** · 11-13-2006, 03:37 PM

that board looks slick.. when is it officially out? I see a lot of pre-order info on it but no expected in stock dates... this is the one I will make the switch for.. good bye i975x *sniffle* heh

**Rmrdr13** · 11-13-2006, 03:50 PM

I'm impatiently waiting as well. Looking on some sites it may be tommorow or the 15th.

**Revv23** · 11-13-2006, 04:03 PM

Really sexy board, too bad ASUS didnt do this with the 965 or 975.

the 680i just doesnt do it for me.

**coolaler** · 11-14-2006, 12:25 AM

The complement are some take off picture of Striker Extreme.

**LittleDevil** · 11-14-2006, 12:38 AM

@coolaler: did you try any other CPU, can you reach 450 - 500FSB?

regards

**erwinz** · 11-14-2006, 02:59 AM

hope you have the E4300 ES..

to test..
