Sorry but that spin does not wash anymore, the issues with this board is not lack of user know how, it starts with poor instruction from DFI
Example: GTL But aside from that this 680i offering from DFI offers no better results in the end then any other 680i offering out there, so tweak your brains out all you want.

Make it a point to read the review on Hot Hardware as they could not reach the FSB numbers that DFI claims to have reached, Yes you could just say the Hot Hardware folks did not understand the time and tweaking you need to put into this board to reach Mecca but Hot Hardware enlisted the help of DFI engineers to reach the goal but DFI could not make it happen as well.

I have no doubt that in time with updated bios releases that this 680i could stand out above the rest of the pack but it maybe to little to late and what is wrong with plug and play easy OC anyways Who cares how you get there
