Is it stable? I read a few posts of those who didn't have much success with stable 680i and 780i motherboards

My AR version of the 680i went south..:shadedshu...But thanks to the EVGA rma, my 680i A1 version has been going strong with no problems at all ever since (almost a year now)...

...the first boards were obviously plagued with issues, :wtf:

everybody seems to be rushing these products out of the door without THOROUGH testing.. :confused:

..the revisions seem to hold their mud ok...

has nvidia heard of using SMD solid caps on these boards? I mean they ARE top end boards anyway.

candle_86 · Mar 20, 2008

thats up to the manufacture not Nvidia they just sell the chips

I still have my TR 680i board. I didn't get it at launch, and i plan to get a 780i sometime later on. But my 680i is working just fine.
