EVGA 680i boards... A1 vs T1 LT

[mukkey]

Need a board for my new SLI build. Based on reviews I want to go with EVGA, but everyone is out of stock on the A1 revision. Newegg has the T1 LT model in stock and the only difference I can see based off of EVGAs site is the LT has 4 USB ports while the others have 6+4. Beyond that am I missing out on anything going with the LT? I'd like to get all my parts ordered by the end of this week.

You want the A1....I think the T1 will not overclock Quads.

The A1 and T1 boards are the same hardware. The difference is the A1 fits cables and such in the package as well as a lifetime warranty. Motherboards with the T1 label are basically OEM with a one or two year warranty.

What does the LT designation mean?

The T1 I looked at in a store had a chart on the back, which indicated that it would NOT overclock a Quad. It's hard to tell looking at EVGA's site.
Plus, there are more than one T1 and A1...there are the "enthusiast" and "performance" versions.

I suppose they are just a bios flash away from being able to o/c a quad, though.

Thanks for the info. I think I have decided to go with the MSI P6N Diamond board. Any feedback on that is appreciated.
