This board looks good. I was sooo close to buying the RD600 before opting for the Abit IN9. DFI are usually late to the market with their flavour of the latest chipset. If the past few boards are anything to go by then this board should kick ass

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?

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.

I'm wondering why DFI has yet to integrate solid state capacitors, since they are mainly an enthusiast-oriented manufacturer. Yay, more electrolytic caps!

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

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 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.
