yeah your absolutely right....but its not all 680i mobo's...most of them still have problem with the GTL volts but EVGA has released a new revision of the 680i that fixes this problem..Rev A1. Seems that with the new version, the mobo's can clock up till 450fsb. but for the rest of us stuck with the older 680i's...we;re kinda screwed when it comes to OC'ing quaddies...only a physical mod will help.

or should we just hold out for the new intel x38 chipset mobo's...
