Best board in it's class. [Posted on 2008-03-25]
Great board, good price, easy to overclock; what's more to say.
If your looking for the end all be all, this board is it as far as I'm concerned!
Core 2 Duo E6750 overclocked to 3.6 and will go more, 2 XFX 8600GT XXX in sli. Will play any game, and it's fast! If your serious about gaming this will do it at a good price! Amazon is the best.

I just got this and wow I can't believe the possibilities this mobo has to offer. Gammers and overclockers if you dont want to fork out the dough for a 780i then this is the ticket. You can run three-way SLI, only with the 8800 & 9800 GTX series nvidia graphics cards under Vista @ 16x X 16x X 8x, and an up gradable board for the future. If you have an understanding on overclocking, the BIOS is fairly easy to use lots of options and nice layout for cases with the PSU above the mobo. Plenty of onboard 3-way pin connectors for fans and a nice north bridge cooling sulution with the fan I am very pleased seeing that the 680i chipsets can get pretty hot (note: besure to have good air flow or some type of high performance coolingfor your case). Plan on running RAID? It supports all RAID functions. With the right hardware this could be a nasty gamming system. I have had no Issues with EVGA and this is my 2nd build using the 680i mobo I and the buyers are pleased.
One tight mobo [Posted on 2008-08-04]
I just got this thing in the other day. Installed it in a Cooler Master 690 case. Fastened my Intel Quad Core Q6600 with 4 gig of ram and 8800 GT video card. The Zalman 9700 heatsink fits nicely. What can I say this thing screams.
So far so Good [Posted on 2008-08-22]
Very good mother board but the monitoring software still havent been able to make it work since I always get an error.
Superb board, exactly what I was looking for [Posted on 2008-10-15]
This is a great mother board which should satisify most gamers and overclockers.
It was the basis for a powerful gaming computer, and I am not disappointed in the least. It is exactly what I wanted, and I really think it outperforms the other boards I have seen.
It is stable, and it has been almost two years now since I have been using it.
I am "only" using the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Dual-Core Processor, a 65 nm Conroe, and a single GPU; a GeForce 8800 GTX with 768 Mb of video memory.
The psu is 700 watt. The fans are board adjustable and can be made very quiet.
The setup is totally overclockable for both the CPU and GPU, and a wide range of over and under voltage can be applied, and it all can be upgraded if necessary. This board is able to take new 45 nm CPU quad cores.
Yes, I could go to a quad core and another 8800 GTX in SLI;
*BUT*, it is not necessary to upgrade at all.
I have put the most demanding games on this system and have no lag whatsoever. It always stays above 50 frames per second at maximum GPU settings, usually above 100 frames at 1600 X 1200 resolution. There is no lag, no artifacts, nada.
I did manage to overclock the Core duo 6600 to 3.4 Ghz on air alone, but there is really no need, and I am back at the stock 2400 speed.
I will pass something on which really improved performance; I matched the RAM memory speed to the GPU memory speed, which is 900 mhz. This was a mild overclock from the previous 800 Mhz RAM speed. The memory voltage, 1.85V, remains the same stock voltage. My RAM is 2 matched sticks of 1GB Corsair.
Well, it is near perfect, and I am not going to fix it.
I recommend it highly.
