EVGA 680i SLI 775 A1 Motherboard Review

October 12th 2007 | nForce 600

I reviewed a different version of this board a few months back and it got an Editors Choice Award, this board is actually a better skew number being the A1 version, it’s just getting a little dated. This chipset does support the latest 45nm CPU line being released by Intel later next month with a BIOS flash. Beyond that these boards are solid; NVIDIA has very good support as does EVGA and they have the best warranty in the business for their A1 series motherboards.

The only drawback that may be a problem for some users is the boards 800MHz limit when running non SLI memory. The new P35 chipsets support 1066MHz memory, but no SLI support. In SLI Mode the memory runs at 1200MHz, but you need to have an SLI VGA configuration to take full advantage of this feature as well as SLI certified memory. With price stabilization and high availability I give this motherboard our Hot-Product award.
