EVGA 680i

andyl33t · 11-09-06, 05:08 PM

Hi, I was wondering if the EVGA 680i is really worth it? Im looking to get a new mobo, cpu and RAM. Im going to get the E6600 and i havnt decided on the RAM. Im gnna overclock the PC with watercooling, I was wondering if i should get the Abit AW9D Intel 975X or the EVGA 680i?

Thanks

If you plan on using the SLI in your rig, you will have to go with the 680. Either way, the 680i is the new hot item and definitely choose it over the Abit. It will give enough FSB for a nice watercool loop and can handle multi GPU. 680i FTW

I personaly think its too early to tell.
The FSB and the Ram are clocked seperatly and I havn't seen any news of these high FSB clocks ram speed.

I have seen some 500+ fsb, dunno the link

.
I do agree that it is early to tell and it seems only the big 3D benchers have jumped on the wagon yet.

Ram speed included?

Ok, of course not

this board is nice, ram speed is fine, worse I have heard about it is 2t after 400 and people are calling BS on that... if you NEED mobo with SLI that clocks near as well or better than intels this is it. If I needed a board right now I dunno which one I would get, I would probably get this one.

Theres a few reviews that says it really good. But what makes the mobo better from others overclocking wise? I dont really understand that bit.
