750i or 680i

[skier]

Right now i'm on a 750i temporarily, but i can get my 680i running easily, which is the better chipset?

(EVGA 750i FTW vs ABIT IN9 32X-MAX, both full SLI, and the 680i has an extra physx card slot)

based on my experiance with the exact board your using it is a very nice board. not sure as to how well it can overclock the 45nm's though

on the 750i i have the FSB of my E7200 @ 1400MHz QDR (3.15GHz) with only modifying the FSB, because I have it on auto voltage control, which seems to work ok, that was just a 2 min tweak in the middle of restarting after some installs, i could certainly take more time OCing, as it idles at 40C or so right now, but i don't want to push it too much on the stock cooler

I just bought the evga 750i board last week, and it's pretty nice. It's got pci 2.0 and supports 45nm right out of the box, plus it has a couple new features in BIOS and when dealing with graphics-intense situations. Overall, it's just a really solid quality board, with enough heat dissipation to quench an avid overclocker's thirst.
