ECS PN2 SLI2+ (NV 680i)

Zitat

ECS is definitely making in roads to the high end mainboard business. It is a good attempt to shake off the image that ECS is only for stable entry level boards. The ECS PN2 SLI2+ is just something that will start to change that. Based on the the NVIDIA nFORCE 680iSLI C55XE/MCP55PXE chipsets which consists of the North bridge C55XE and south bridge MCP55PXE. This board supports the LGA775 socket for Intel® Core 2 Quadro/Core™2 Extreme / Core™2 Duo /Pentium D / Pentium 4 /Celeron D Processors wiht FSB 1333(Core 2 Duo 1333)/1066/800/533 MHz. That is actually quite future proof as we would be expecting CPUs that clks at 333MHz in the near future.

[...]The board has lots of overclocking features with adjustments of CPU, DIMM, Chipset voltages, ASync settings, ram timing adjustments. You can check the gallery for more details. In our test, the max we can reach is 470MHz x 6 or 3.7GHz (370x10) on the X6800 processor. The CPU Vcore is already set at 1.5v, vdimm at 2.1v. This seems to be limitation of the CPU we have. We tested the QX6700 (2.66GHz) and it just couldn't get stable at 3.7GHz on air cool at 1.5v (CPU). That is even with only one core running (the BIOS allows you to turn off the 2nd,3rd and 4th core).
