Any known issues with EVGA 122-CK-NF63-TR?

[adsmith82]

Is there any reason to purchase a 650i SLI board over the EVGA 122-CK-NF63-TR 680i SLI? I can get one at Zip Zoom Fly for $140 shipped after rebate. This seems like a good deal for a 680i SLI board. Is there something wrong with it?

The new SE TR 680i board has nothing wrong with it besides the fact it isn't tweaked or modded for quadcore overclocking.

i'd say go for it unless you plan on getting quadcore soon then i'd say go with the regular 680i non-SE A1 or T1 version board

I'd agree here with 100% in regards if you want to get a Quad Core, it appears only the DFI 680 Mobo is the only one allowing you to get past the 320-325fsb limit on Quad Core Cpu's with 680 based mobos.

I tend to avoid mail in rebates, but if you've had good experience with them...

If you can, wait for those Quad-core price drops coming after July 22nd. $266 for a Q6600...

I'm also looking at the NF63-TR - I want to go SLI & eventually quad-core, but I never ever plan to overclock, and I'd love to save the $60 over the NF68-A1. So were there documented issues with the NF63-TR and quad-core processors (not overclocking, but issues just running them at stock speeds), that EVGA had to "fix" with the T1s and A1s? Or were the T1s and A1s just released to provide better support for overclocking the quad-cores?

I have no problem booting up to 450FSB with Q6600 on EVGA 680i A1. Stable up to somewhere around 420~430FSB but I am content with 400FSB which is the best configuration for my setup.
