Yeah once my 680i was up and running it was great but when there were problems it was a nightmare. These chipsets are SO quirky and just have really weird issues unlike anything I've ever experienced. I imagine the 790i is similar since it's just a derivative of these early chipsets.

I remember hearing about Foxconn ditching the 790i. Gigabyte pulled their in house designed 680i because of these quirks. Most of the other big motherboard companies made sure NOT to follow Nvidia's reference design. Asus seems to be the only ones who created a successful in house version.

Too bad because with some work they could have been really good, although take SLI out of the equation and Intel based chipsets are clearly better.
