Engineered for Enthusiasts
NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI media and communications processors (MCPs) deliver the tools and performance PC enthusiasts demand. When combined with two NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards, you get innovative NVIDIA SLI technology for enhanced system performance. With select SLI-Ready memory with EPP you get automatic access to special memory performance. Be ready for system overclocking and greater data throughput.

Extreme Overclocking
Unleash the underlying hardware. With comprehensive overclocking tools to push the limits on front side bus (FSB) speed and support for higher memory speeds, the NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI MCP is designed for overclocking.

• Extreme FSB speeds
  The front side bus (FSB) in the NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI MCP is specified to run at 1333MHz to support existing and future FSB speeds. Through overclocking, however, the NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI MCP can deliver FSB speeds well beyond specification.¹ Get the headroom today for overclocking and/or future FSB speeds.
  

• Extreme DDR2 speeds
  NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI MCPs support high-speed SLI-Ready memory of DDR2-1200 and beyond to keep pace with overclocked system components.
  

• Comprehensive overclocking tools
  Award-winning NVIDIA overclocking tools provide a complete kit of tools giving everyone from the most veteran enthusiast to the novice overclocker the ability to unleash the hardware in their PC.
  

—NVIDIA nTune™ Utility
Now with access to more settings from this Windows-based utility. Adjust CPU and memory speeds without rebooting. Access to most BIOS settings from inside Windows. Save and automatically load profiles for each application you run.

—NV BIOS
NV BIOS delivers easy-to-use tuning to let you have full control over your hardware including processor voltage tables and memory drive strengths.

• True 2 x16 PCI Express® SLI Support
  Two full-bandwidth, 16-lane PCI Express links ensure maximum graphics performance for next-generation GPUs and games. Offers twice the PCI Express bandwidth of x8 SLI solutions.
  

• NVIDIA SLI-Ready Memory with EPP
  NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI MCP automatically increases bandwidth when select SLI Certified memory modules are detected.
  

• NVIDIA SLI Certified Components
  Look for other components including NVIDIA GeForce GPUs and system memory that have been certified by NVIDIA to deliver unmatched performance with NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI motherboards. For more information on SLI Certified components, visit www.SLIZone.com\nForce.
  

• Multiple Disk Setup
  Through a simple wizard-based interface, you can effortlessly set up your drives for better data protection, faster disk access or maximum storage capacity. MediaShield automatically selects RAID 0, 1, 0+1 or 5 configuration according to your needs. Advanced users can access RAID options directly.
  

• DiskAlert System
  The event of a disk failure, MediaShield users see an image that highlights which disk has failed to make it easier to identify, replace, and recover.
  

• RAID Morphing
  MediaShield allows users to change their current RAID set-up to another configuration in a one-step process called morphing. This eliminates the need to back up data and follow multiple steps in the process.
  

• Bootable Multidisk Array
  MediaShield storage fully supports the use of multi-disk array for loading the operating system at power-up.
  

• Six SATA 3Gb/s Drives
  Combine up to six SATA drives into one volume for bigger, faster RAID. More drives mean more configuration options such as six RAID 0 (striped) drives for maximum throughput, or Dual RAID 5 arrays. Take advantage of the latest SATA 3Gb/s hard disk drives with full support for native and tagged command queuing and hot plug. Native command queuing provides higher disk performance in a multi-threaded environment by performing out-of-order disk accesses.
  

• NVIDIA Native Gigabit Ethernet
  The industry’s fastest Gigabit Ethernet performance eliminates network bottlenecks and improves overall system efficiency and performance.
  

• NVIDIA FirstPacket™ technology
  Be the ‘King of Ping’ with NVIDIA FirstPacket technology. Get the crystal-clear phone conversations and online gaming performance you expect. NVIDIA FirstPacket technology assures your game data, VoIP conversations, and large file transfers are delivered according to preferences set by you in an intuitive wizard.
  

• NVIDIA DualNet® technology
  Get Double-Barrel Gigabit Ethernet with two integrated networking connections on your NVIDIA nForce 680i MCP.
  

—Dual Gigabit Ethernet with Teaming
Teaming allows the two connections to work together to provide up to twice the Ethernet bandwidth for transferring large amounts of data from home file servers to other PCs. It also provides network redundancy through fail-over capability

—TCP/IP Acceleration
Delivers the highest system performance by offloading CPU-intensive packet filtering tasks in hardware, providing users with a PC networking environment that is faster.
