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

[AndreYang]

Did you happen to run a single instance of 1Mb Pi or 32 Mb Pi with the E6600 @ 400FSB? If so were times comparable to other 680i's or better as in near 975x chipsets. I know most 680i boards can get close to 975x board's Pi performance when you run 1T. I'm wondering if this board gets close @ 2T or even beats it.

965 975 is faster than 680i for sure, especially Super PI.

Andre,

How loud is the SB fan? What RPM does it usually run at? 3000rpm? 2000rpm?

I think with my VGA Copper fan, it runs at 2000RPM, and its very quiet. Anything beyond 3000RPM thought and it gets loud.

It's quiet, but I don't know how many rpm.

Hmm, only 360 FSB with quad CPU, its really low Hope it can be tweaked and improved with newer BIOS version. Old revision C00 eVGA 680i boards had problems with quad overclocking, but new one rev. D00 is improved and can get it much more higher over 400 FSB, some can get even 450 FSB, so I dont think its the own chipset problem and limit. But who knows, DFI have 680i LT chip, but offers all things that gives 680i non-LT

I have received new EVGA 680i from Nvidia, but it still don't run high fsb for quad-cpu on air cooling. Are you sure new 680i doing that?

Sure?

Andre, have you played with the GTL REF Voltage settings?
And what is the highest 1:1 1T clock?

More GTL REF doesn't help more fsb or memory.


Here is DDR2 950 1T 32M.
