Gigabyte United jumps on the nForce 680i SLI bandwagon with the GA-N680SLI-DQ6
Gigabyte United has announced its latest Core 2 compatible offering—the GA-N680SLI-DQ6. The latest offering from Gigabyte United takes advantage of NVIDIA’s recently released nForce 680i SLI chipset. It offers compatibility with Intel Core 2 dual and quad-core processors up to a 1333 MHz front-side bus.
Gigabyte United has opted not to rebadged NVIDIAs reference board unlike other manufacturers such as BFG, ECS and EVGA. Nevertheless, Gigabyte United has equipped the GA-N680SLI-DQ6 with three PCI Express x16 slots for NVIDIA’s upcoming SLI physics processing. Quad SLI is also supported with the GA-N680SLI-DQ6.
In addition to quad SLI readiness the GA-N680SLI-DQ6 features quad Gigabit LAN, that’s four Gigabit Ethernet ports for those who need it. While quad Gigabit Ethernet ports may sound like overkill, Gigabyte United is able to take advantage of NVIDIA’s Dual-Net teaming technology to combine all four Ethernet connections into a single 4Gbit connection. Lastly in terms of overkill the Gigabyte United GA-N680SLI-DQ6 features a total of ten SATA 3.0Gbps ports—four of which Gigabyte United provides e.SATA brackets for.
Other notable features of the Gigabyte United GA-N680SLI-DQ6 include 1394a, high definition audio, dual BIOS and a passive heat pipe chipset cooling solution.
