Should have been called 690i
nVidia in their current marketing scheme can't name anything correctly, but that's another story. Their really is alot of good with this board, more than bad. NOTE: This is a Foxconn board. It is made for XFX/Evga, and Foxconn is a middle to cheap mobo manufacturer. Not exactly ASUS here, but a good board and not as bad as some other Mfg's or even other Foxconn products.
If you are new to overclocking or never had the proper tools to do so, this board is for you. Simply put, it...

Simply Put, The best board out today
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Working in the computer industry for a company that sells and supports high performance gaming PCs, this is currently our premier board and is used in all of our top PCs.
Using this board personally in my main PC at home, its nothing short of outstanding and worth every penny. Numerous overlocking options, and stable operation, plus 3 PCI-E 2.0 slots. I would recommend this board for any system even if ga...

Awesome board, great documentation
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Posted first try with my Q6600 and 2GB DDR2 (Patriot PDC24G6400ELK, after installing Vista I increased this to 8GB) and using 2x eVGA 8800GT Superclocks in dual SLI mode. Rock solid board, although I can't comment on overclocking yet (will be trying that soon!). The documentation is a giant booklet with pictures that illustrate everything you need. Enthusiast board? Phah&#...

More than just a Chipset update
The 780i has updated support for higher clocked RAM. The 680i supports 800MHz ram but has minimal compatibility with RAM that has a base speed above that. It does not support the newer PC9200 (1150MHz) RAM like the 780i. Although the PCIex 2.0 and the nForce 200 upgrades may seem minimal, the added support of higher speed RAM can be the factor that would sway someone to purchase a 780i as opposed to the 680i. I have included a list of known supported memory for this board below (exluding mem...

Sweet board
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Ease setting it up. Plenty of room to work with. Lots of room for video expansion. Connectors are located in convient locations. board has good support and bios setup went smooth. On-board lights tell you status.
Cons: There is talk of this board becoming obsolete when 790 comes out but a bird in the hand is worth two in the bus...

Great Board, Shame on Newegg
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: The board is absolutly perfect.
Wether you're upgrading to a 45nm Quad or buying a new board and still want to use the DDR2 Standard, this is a great board. I am currently running this board after getting it elsewhere in Tri-SLI Watercooled and I couldnt be happier.
Cons: Newegg, you are my go to company for many products. But you are starting to dissapoint me. First when the 8800G...

780i
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: It's eVga. It is much more than a re-dressed 680i. Thick, sessy, more OCing options, better heatsinks, use of screws for heatsinks...etc. 1600FSB, flawless/stable with little or no voltage adjustment. 1800FSB with minimal tweaking. All with a q6600. There is no support in the computer industry like eVga support. Put's my old Stryker to shame.
Cons: Newegg...I understand cap...

Solid Mobo!
Tech Level: somewhat low
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Out-of-the-box support for the newer 45nm (with no BIOS updates necessary), 6 SATA connections, 6 USB connections, easy to navigate around the basic BIOS/CMOS features (haven't messed with the advanced stuff yet); also was fully compatible with my Noctua heatsink.
Cons: The MCP/SPP fan that comes with t...

Best motherboard for gamers.
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It's from EVGA. Tri-SLI. PCI-e 2.0. Up to 1200MHz memory with EPP enabled. ESA (yes, it's actually really useful if you want to overclock...too bad you have to buy strictly ESA products to use it though). Rock-solid stable. Aesthetically pleasing. I really like the black-and-green color scheme. Comes with tons of cables and has a lot of SATA ports. B...
