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

Ya the PWM heatsink is just a really crappy painted aluminum heatsink, its a shame DFI went really cheap quality on it. Mine are starting to make a hissing sound during quadprime 95 and shutting off.. I've got 2 fans trying to blow over them

On the cpu throttling download rightmark cpu clock utility and you can disable the throttling there.

i have a theory... remember how the PWM temp was mis-labeled in all the BIOS's except the most recent? i think when they were designing the board they were relying on those reported temps and thinking the PWM was fine...

otherwise i don't see how they would have released the board with such a bad solution. the HS does look quite cheap and they've sandwiched it in-between a bunch of components... there's no way it could be getting decent airflow the way its designed which is why people have to rig fans on it...
