It "supports" overclocking. Has alot of very nice features.

I received my eVGA 680i SLI board last night. Since today is my sons birthday, I've been busy with Daddy duties and haven't put it together yet. I wonder if all the hype surrounding the Bad Axe justifies the price over this eVGA mobo?

Intel has actually been making useful boards now. But it's hard to turn down SLI!

INTEL has actually always made good boards.....maybe not top overclockers, but extremely stable and feature rich boards.

Yes indeed - Intel has always been THE go-to manufacturer when stability is a prime objective.

Performance aside, I can't stop noticing how pretty it is. I love the blue.

HAHA, not it's not! Seriously though, personally, I just don't get off on the whole dual graphics thing (be it SLI or CrossFire). Too much money and heat for not enough gain under *typical* gaming conditions.

I think I agree with Capper and One4, though I've never owned an intel board, I've never heard anyone complain about theirs. The only downside that I see is that they tend to charge an arm and a leg for their high end boards (like the 975x).

I don't think I have ever bought an Intel board... may have received one with parts but none bought.

I also agree, single video card solutions work fine for me, I am typically a year behind the gaming community anyways

Yeah, unless I win the lottery or something, I'd never go SLI either. Just threw it out there.

And yes, I know Intel makes good, cheap, and reliable boards, but they weren't "the board" for O/C.
