680i TR Opinions??

INTELCRAZY · 02-11-2007, 11:46 PM

What do you guys think of 680i? I like it better than the DS3, it supposedly cools better

joeswm8 · 02-12-2007, 12:04 AM

ok, not the TR! there are no cables, not as many goodies (and there are a lot) as the other one.

dont let the price decive you.

and i would go DS3 unless you want to go SLI and quad core (the new DS3s have quad core so i guess its if you want SLI for 100+ bocks more)

INTELCRAZY · 02-12-2007, 01:12 AM

nahh...what do I need SLI for with a 8800GTS on the way, lol. I just like the 680 for the heatpipe, and way it looks

joeswm8 · 02-12-2007, 01:20 AM

then go 8800gtx with the savings by going for the ds3

This one??? I don't think I need the G965 with the X3000 GMA

There is a P965 version of the DS3 also.

I loved my 680i, it was a great overclocker and had TONS of features, from virtually anything you want to tweak, can be done, and it was also future proof for a while.

I know that, thats what I am buying, I don't need Intel's overated video. when I am installing an 8800GTS

joeswm8 · 02-12-2007, 02:54 AM

no! the P965 chipset doesnt have integrated video. sheesh

but anyway, they are both about equal OCers
