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

I will retest occt.

OCCT is irrelevant ... in my opinion it proves nothing if you're system is OCCT stable. i posted about my experiences with it a page or so ago and i'll never use it again.

tx VR for the link i've used prime95 before but that version you linked is better for quads. i've been running a lot of tests recently and getting much better results. BTW is there any way to have it monitor core temps and cutoff at a certain termp like OCCT does? that's the one feature i miss...

as far as some mythical DFI BIOS goes that has an "easy quad overclock" button i don't think it will ever happen. the bios is the way it is and i don't see any major changes coming. they might tweak a few things here or there but we'll always be stuck balancing VTT's and GTL's... i hope i'm wrong =/

It's not important if irrelevant or relevant, important is, your system runs stable with high temps and I need a solution to get lower temps. OCCT vs Prime95: My opinion is, OCCT is better for short tests and Prime better for long tests.

I don't think it has such a feature... I think Speedfan has an ability to execute commands based on temp. events (but I've never tried it). But by now, you probably know what temp your system is going to hit on PRIME... and know your system can deal with it.

With Supreme Commander, if you lower clocks to stock, will it play endlessly for hours without crashing? That's important so that you can rule out buggy code. If so, then it sounds like a hell of a lot more fun than watching a computer crunch away at FFT's.

Yes. At first i wasnt sure if it was the game or the overclock. Went back to stock to be sure... then had a good 3-4hr session on sup-com with no probs.

BTW - my DFI arrives tomorrow
