now hav 2 made decision between this & infinity p965s

Let's put it this way, if you can afford the entry price, go for it. Otherwise for budget OC'ing, stick to the 965-S I guess

680i LT d is budject board from original 680i

Great. Btw, this board is using 680i LT instead. Not the higher end 680i chipset. I remember back then in late 2006 they show the 680i engineering sample of 680i first. It happens that we going to see 680i LT out in the market right before 680i.

the north bridge and southbridge heatsink and fan doesnt look very integrated...looks like something they had spare lying around...

Don't buy this, it's too expensive.

Buy infinity 965-S

**Joking ahh, jangan marah.

I'm yet to see the overclocking result. Guru3D reviewed Evga's some time ago, let see if DFI can make a difference or not.

in xtremesystem forum, some of them said this oc better than the 680i.

i will read more review b4 making decision

nice NB heatsink
no need to get the Jingting forcetaker

Great DFI LP board there
Hmn...it's time to get myself a DFI board to play with later!

???? 680i LT SLI, did the LT SLI chipset jusy come with 2 pci-ex? why dfi use this chipset, maybe they wanna cut the price... hehehe

nice board. if got money can consider. how much is't? might upgrade to blue side around july tat time DX10 games might be out.

retail evga 680i LT SLI mobo ~USD199 bout RM700++, but how much for this baby, lanparty series somemore...

this mobo going to cost around 230-250 USD.

One thing that you guys must take in consideration is though the northbrigde is nice but due to its size, alot of big air cooling heatsink cant fit unless you place your heatsink facing upward / toward the PSU.

Like dat no choise hav 2 go 4 water cooling loh...

250USD price tag is closer to most boards that manufactured using the reference design of nvidia nf680i. The only reason to get DFI's 680i LT is when the performance and overclocking ability is really that good. Otherwise, Infinity 965-S is the option.

Actually dis board can consider reference 680i SLI board d coz its cum wif 3 PCI-E slots! Reference 680i LT is only wif 2 PCI-E slots dude.

That still wouldn't made this 680i LT board more attractive than most board using 680i, unless it's really good and you like it bling blang.

I don't think this is a 680LT board at all since it's either 680i or 680LT mobo. This is because unless DFi had managed how to figure out on unlocking that extra one lane at x8 bandwidth thru the southbridge, I'd doubt it's based on the 680LT chipset. Just to confirm, you'd need to check the BIOs as to whether it has EPP option available or not
