Any one got the MSI P6N nForce 680 ?

And is it any gd

All the 680i boards are the exact same. So that would be a yes.

Hi there

The MSI, BFG and EVGA boards we sell are all the same, except for the box and different warranties.

They are all good mainboards and we have them all in stock!

Gibbo,

Gigabyte do a 680 board and another retailer has it ETA in January.

I know it's probably the same reference board from nVidia, however they have the specification down as having 8Chn audio - where as other 680i boards have 7chan (according to the same site).

Will you be getting these in, or do you feel you have a comprehensive range of 680i boards already?

Also, I know its a question which is probably being asked too early, but any idea if DFI will give you a rought estimate as to when we can expect their 680i lanparty board in the UK? With getting the RD600 board sometime in the next week, and with the good pricing you have on the Socket 939 crossfire boards - you seem to have a good relationship with DFI europe, so thats why I'm asking if you could find out.

Cheers.

Hi there

Its the same but has the worse warranty of them all and is no cheaper. Plus other ECS boards are cheap and nothing special.

The ECS rep said their warranty is three years, maybe he's mistaken. But it's 2yrs on the MSI?

Personally I'd get the EVGA for the support.

It's not... take a peek

Gibbo, since you have the MSI P6N base model, can we expect OcUK to stock the P6N Diamond? That's the big momma I'm interested in :cool:

Cheers,

Grrr so many choices lol.

Sumanji · 8 Jan 2007 at 01:13

lol same here

We have pretty similar rigs, and I don't know about you but mine still feels pretty damn fast. I know Conroe will obliterate my current core bits, but I want to make sure I get the perfect motherboard... I've picked the wrong one too many times and it always comes back to bite you (either monetarily or with troubles!). Gonna wait till after my finals in March to get the perfect "Ultra-D" board for Conroe/Kentsfield...

Hopefully there's actually gonna be one

(come on Oskar sort it out!!).

Azza · 8 Jan 2007 at 01:22

Im planning on getting one of these as soon as funds allow.

Is it me or does every single board having something putting you off?

RD600 - Northbridge mounts
680i - Poor raid performance I've read about and Raid problems.
965 - NBCC and boostrap limits

Aghhhh, well I can't buy now anyways, as I'm saving up for holiday to holland

It's a reference board, if you like the price then the board is the same as all the others. The BFG looks very nice at the 'This Week Only' price as well though.
