Outstanding Motherboard

Strengths: Great packaging, Complete, easy instructions. Well layed out board, fit 2 Dual 7800 Ultra cards with no issues. Fired up without hassle.

Weakness: Cost, but that's coming down to within reason.

This motherboard currently has it all over the other 680is. In the long run, the extra $$ spent now will pay off, as the features on the beast are very robust. Two full-up 16x PCI-E is a great thing. My current SLI setup won't allow the third card due to space, but I can deal with Quad GPU's for the time being. The fact that this motherboard will support Quad Core CPU's is another bennie. I'm...

680 is a great board

Strengths: Gigabyte I have been using Gigabyte for two years and Gigabyte stands alone. This 680 is right up there with the best of the best.

Weakness: I have yet to find one.

Some people do not like the heat pipe and the big plate on the bottom but it sure keeps my quad cool. All I did was go to the hardware store and get some nylon spacers. I cut them to fit and put the cooling tower plate right at the level of the cooling plate. I them put a 120 fan blowing right on the back of the mother board. I can over clock and everything stays in the 90's. I am running a 1000...

Powerhouse Motherboard

Strengths: 10x SATA connectors, 3x PCI-E 16x, 3x PCI, quad gigabit ethernet, IEEE 1394A w/front panel headers.

Weakness: Immature BIOS (primarily overclocking issues), heatpipe backplate makes aftermarket cooling difficult, single IDE channel.

If ever there was a motherboard equivalent of loaded mash potatoes, this one is it! You do pay for it however. The heatpipe north (and south!) bridge coolers do their job extremely well, although I feel that Gigabyte went overkill by heatpiping the CPU backplate, which you have to remove to install aftermarket coolers like the Tuniq 120 or Zalman 9700. Onboard IEEE-1394A is very nice, although at...

Quality board

Strengths: Booted perfectly, no problems yet and its the first system ive ever put together.

Weakness: Crazy cool 2 was taken off to install a better heatsink.

Well i bought it the day it came out, installed it into the first custom system ive ever built with my own hands, and with that limited amount of tech experience i havent had a single problem yet. Using this mobo, e6600, bfg8800gts, pcp&c s750quad, ocz plat rev 2, in a tt armor. Gigabyte builds good boards.
