Albatron 680i SLI Motherboard Review

The Albatron nForce based 680i SLI has ever since it’s release been an amazing mainboard series. It’s simple, if you want to overclock your PC, chances are large that you at the very least are opting for a 680i mainboard with Core 2 Duo processor and some good memory. Here at Guru3D we started using this mainboard series pretty much the minute we received it, which was early November 2006 and ever since it has become the #1 mainboard for testing graphics cards. Intensely stable, hefty tweaking features and massive performance - these are the three things I immediately think about when we talk about the 680i mainboards. Obviously, it’s the sum of all things. You have to have the high-end processor, PSU, graphics card and memory yet with these three ingredients you can achieve rather spectacular miracles.

..The Albatron nForce 680i SLI is one of the best mainboards available to date. But the fact is, whether you buy a BFG, eVGA or whatever brand you choose … it really doesn’t matter as these mainboards are all the same. So, therefore you need to be more price aware, and that’s definitely where Albatron can win. They stripped less likely to use cables from the box, yet obviously left the mainboard itself 100% intact. Again, these 680i mainboards are all the same so you need to focus on bundle and pricing.

The keyword for the 680i platform is "everything". You can do anything and everything you want up-to the limits of the rest of your components.
