X-bit labs - Nvidia nForce 680i SLI Chipset Review (page 10)

All well and good but this review was done using a reference board, and is from November 2006, many new fixes in BIOS, 680i runs like a champ

updated from 680i SLI(support up to 1200 mhz ram) to 680i LT SLI (support up to 800MHZ ram)
but 70$ diffrence

Get your self E4300 + XFX 650i Sli + 8800 GTS [which ever suits ur budget] + 2 GB Kingston Ram[good Oc'er] + Hdd [acc to ur needs. I suggest 320 GB]+ These things should be taken eye closed get it and OC to take the most of it

To give you an idea about how good overclocking is on the evga 680i. Here are my system specs, and overclock results.

Evga 680i SLI
e4300 1.8 mhz
Antec 900 case
Zalman 9500 cooler
2gb OCZ 6400 800mhz CoolerMaster 850 w
Single evga 8800gts 320mb

My overclocks with 680i

E4300 @ 3.05 ghz
My temps are 39c idle to 58c on load.
My memory is clocked to 890Mhz timings @ 4,4,4,15,1T
Evga 8800 gts 320mb - clocked @ Core Clock =691mhz - Memory Clock = 980mhz

I believe these overclocks are mainly due to the abilities of the 680i. And yes I do have good supporting hardware, but this would not be possible without the 680i mb.

My 3DMark 06 score has now reached 11135 and beats quite a few 6600's with similar configs

thnx for replying guys
ERrrrrrrrrrrrr! XFX 650i cost here 213$ 2years waranty betwee the EVGA 680i LT SLI by internet cost 230$ 1 year waranty on the net,
1GB ram will be enough for now have a limited budget.
i just die for the 8800 GTX, but already found one with 350$, where average is 570$ on the net, here it cost 764$, for the C2D prossesore wht can i get with 230$? the best one i can get?
for HD seagate barracuda 160GB 7200RMP is good,i can buy an other one when i'll get more money.
i had never bought from the internet and have no idea about it and i think tht eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
Buy.com - Anything. Anytime. Anywhere. - Computers, Digital Cameras, Books, DVDs, & much more
Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more
have the buyer proection service, and u guys wht u think?!
reply needed
@pixelpainter:i'll need some help to overclock it after than so i'll need ur help

E4300....sorry guys when i saw 1.8 GHz.........god!!!.......it harder than me guys i'll get the E6600 or 6420 but i dnt know so much about OC,
@DS:
welll i'll buy for the net a 2GB of GSKill but the cas latency wich is better CL-4 or CL-5

pixelpainter · 12-06-2007, 09:20 PM

One of the good things about getting a good overclocking board, is that you can get really good bang for your buck with other hardware. Check out the link to the 3DMark6 I put up , and you will see that I beat our most e6600. The main reason I put more money into the board, is that I will be able to upgrade for a while. Things that are consistent at the moment is that CPU prices are going to continue to drop for a while yet. Hell... you can buy a quad later when you have a little more money, meanwhile a good board should clock a cheaper processor like an e4300 very well, and you can then spend your money on other items that are less likely to drop in price.

With a good board, you can easily clock the e4300 to 2.7 or higher with stock cooler

Wanted to let you guys know... there was a typo in overclock of card, Core clock speed of card was 691 not 895, wow that would have been truly amazing

I would make sure that you buy it from a reputable place, saving a few bucks from an unknown source can be risky. If you are ordering from the US, Newegg is usually pretty good, and they often have special deals going on with ram and other items.

@ Newegg (They offer extended warranty plans for purchase on all of their products.)

EVGA 122-CK-NF67-T1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i LT SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail - $189.00

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6400 - Retail $187.00

Patriot 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual - Retail DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Timing 4-4-4-12 - $89.99 after $50.00 mail in rebate(Wow this is good)

The lower the latency the better the ram

get Cl4 1. based on Elipida on Micron D9

and do not see core clock upcoming k10 will be lowe clockediit doesn't mean its bad

E4300 is one f the best C2D get it and with a heatsink u can hit 3.2
