Do you mean the southbridge, down between the PCIe x16 slots?

That is actually the northbridge.😕
One of the most amazing motherboards overclockers have seen to date and they put the sb & nb chipsets bass ackwards.

You know what I feel like an idiot. I have no idea where I received that information but it was wrong.😕

Ok, I was literally e-mailing eVga about this. From an Electrical Engineering standpoint it would have been nearly miraculous to do that flip.

Back to the original question, I know the 680i uses some odd hole placments but, Any good chipset block like the swiftech MCW60 could be make to work with a custom mount, if one isn't available.

Alright now something screwy is going on here. When I researched it last night I found some threads like this one where they refer to the one under the pciex16 slot as the spp/southbridge yet in the manual they say it's the mcp/northbridge. No freaking wonder I was confused!

you mistakenly thought SPP means Southbridge, which it doesn't

So spp is northbridge and mcp is southbridge?

Yes. I got that confused too and almost killed my motherboard. It's easy to mistake since for Intel chipsets MCH = Northbridge, bur for nVIDIA, SPP=Northbridge.

Can someone explain this to me since it was my understanding that MCH was memory controler hub and the northbridge on both chipsets is in fact the memory controller hub.
