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

[GAR]

Asus has been good to me as of late.

[Ace-a-Rue]

I reached 533 last night.

with what core?

do you like or indifferent to the board? (setting you up question)

[Ace-a-Rue]

Dude, you need to switch to water!

it'll be my luck that i spring a leak!

E6300 and E6600, the best numbers so far have come from the E6420, but will save those for the release date.

I really like the board, actually a lot better than my P965 Infinity experiences to date (wish some of the early "pushers" around here would try to post overclocked CrossFire results or let's see those Quad numbers, hint hint if you're looking for issues besides death by flex).

I think DFI has done a very good job with the 680i LT board. It still needs some BIOS tuning but what DFI board does not at release. I think DFI was right to use the LT chipset, for a variety of reasons, most of which cannot be discussed (setting you up to wonder statement). Back to AM2 6000+ at 3.5GHz testing on an upcoming HTT loving chipset.

i'll sit back for now and see how the first wave of boards do with users like myself!

Bingo, have you had a chance to try a quad-core on the DFI 680i?

[Ace-a-Rue]

he will probably try a quad core at a later time after he does the initial posting of the article with those above processors.

Yes, stuck under 400 right now. Oskar is working overtime to get it fixed next week. I am going to wait on the next beta release before publishing my review. Overall, very good 680 based board. It just needs some BIOS tuning.

[Ace-a-Rue]

COOL!..this might be my future board if oskar can tweak the quad output...if you are stuck under 400, i would be woefully stuck around 330 fsb.

Bingo, can you tell us what batch code your E6420 is?

Thanx

I have quad-core DFI 680i LT new bios. If you need, pm me.

[L1NK]

Can you now test the max. FSB with an QC at a 9x-Multi?

[Solarfall]

does this board has that annoying whining noise, you know the one what the other nf680i boards have.???

[ownage]

does this board has that annoying whining noise, you know the one what the other nf680i boards have.???

You mean just like most of the nVidia Geforce cards have??
DO nVidia based boards also have the annoying whining noise, LOL,

[OldGuy]

does this board has that annoying whining noise, you know the one what the other nf680i boards have.???

I think you would have "heard" about it by now The fact that it's kinda random on existing Evga boards I don't think you will see any complaints, if any, until this puppy gets out and about to more users...

As far as I know my evga doesn't do it or it is muffled by all the 120mm fans screamin at 110 cfm...

[Solarfall]

you know the nf680i sli boards make that high pitched whining nose when you stress the system or move the mouse.

[virtualrain]

Yes, please provide some tests at 9x on a quad!

[safan80]

I have quad-core DFI 680i LT new bios.

Can't wait for your results!

[Origin_Unknown]

very interesting... was thinking about changing boards earlier

[shimmishim]

does this board has that annoying whining noise, you know the one what the other nf680i boards have.???

lol. it must be the evga board. i have an asus board and it makes no such whining or high pitch noise under stress or when moving the mouse.

but one of my evga videocards does make a high pitch noise while under stress. maybe it's an evga thing

[Roger_D25]

you know the nf680i sli boards make that high pitched whining nose when you stress the system or move the mouse.

Just wanted to let you know that I got a crosshipped RMA because of this horrible electronic buzzing/whinning noise and my replacement has 0 electronic noise and is the best 680i I've used yet! I would RMA ASAP! Plus like the new DFI my eVGA 680i A1 revision came with a 570MCP (as I've posted in other threads, mabye that is why I'm able to run stable at 500Mhz+ on FSB), lol!

not just EVGA...the asus commando board had the same problem...some had the noisy coils and some did not...same with EVGA.

[adamsleath]

cool .. cant wait

wow 500fsb .. that beats most of the 680i board ... ill prolly get it when i pick up Q6600 in Q3 when it drops to $266

...it crossed my mind.

nb hooks yay
that e6850 chip tested a few pages back looks impressive oc wise.

i have high pitched faint buzz with my mobo/pci sound card. - very annoying; thinking of changing to this board just to get rid of the noise :?

KF chips just too hot imo (120W)

[adamsleath]

YES, commando, striker, their entire 975x series. Theres PLENTY of threads here, in this section alone, to prove this. Asus may be the first to market, thats fine. However, they drop support for boards that are screwed from the get go ( P5W-DH anyone? ). You will spend months just to resolve issues that should of been caught in QC testing. Asus has taken over where MSI left off in the AMD days... First to market, last to get it working right. Than the price gouging on top of that.

yup.
