nForce 790i SLI/Ultra chipset mobos - Reviews/OC/Guides

And for all prior NV chipsets we had a subset of XS that was all gung ho until they used them for a while then most switched over to Intel...

Like humeboy said, it's a totally new chipset.

there are a lot of similarities to old but it is a new chipset
i am happy with it but hey you know how it is
some ppl will be unhappy that are a little harder to please and some ppl won't

i also liked 680i though for the most part.........they were a bit of a pain in the arse to tweak once you sort of start reaching the limits of your OCs and felt spotty at times.........new board feels far better for me at least

they will need to stand the test of time
won't be long before you guys get to buy them and see for yourself heh

what you see with my OCs is not just "select the OC button" and all is great....it does take a bit of practice to get to benchmark any board at 600+ FSB at 5.7GHz on LN2 i tell ya that much heh

the way i see it is nvidia had to make a jump from amazing AMD chipsets and boards onto intel because of Conroe and with every chipset revision they are improving a lot. They are listening to enthusiasts through feedback some of us give them direct in terms of what can be done better on the boards plus their interaction with end users as well. i've met a lot of nvidia execs and i have to tell you these guys are extremely laid back and are actually really interested in this stuff. I am not kidding . It's great to see them excited about all this stuff. It's really cool to see some of them even look into getting phase change for they home machines . i mean common now how many penguin suit guys do you know that are like that.......Geeks rule!!!
