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

LOL... yeah, its a pain that Intel cant make their IHS's anywhere near flat! LOL!

As for voltage stability - ive used the galaxy on a fair few setups over the last few months - mostly SLI 8800 setups, and its been rock solid. However, I have noticed the DFI is reading the 12v rail as 11.71v at stock idle, which is a bit odd, because on all other setups its been around 12.20v and not dropped a touch when you add load. I'll reserve judgement until I do a bit more testing.

Do you think the galaxy actually prevented you i getting an overclock?

The DFI is misreporting all PS voltages low.

Pretty much all the PS voltages are reading .3v low, Ive verified this with a DMM.


I finally found a work around for my throttling issue, and its not just related to Quads. My E6600 at 3.7 1.5975v bios would start to throttle after a few minutes of Small FFT even though core temp was 51c.

RM clock autoloading with TM1 and 2 disabled has solved my problem. Not the soulution I want, but it will work.

@MikeMK, you might want to reconsider your WB for a Q6600, the Storm doesn't work all that well with Quads, since the coolest part of the block is inbetween the 2 dies.
