![]() ![]() Both the SPP and MCP are actively cooled with fans that tended to have a noticeable whine on power-up and remained at 100% speed throughout testing as fan speed cannot be controlled.Ĭonsidering other boards in the price range have passive cooling solutions we have to question NVIDIA's decision on using an active cooling solution. There are four fan headers (one 4-pin, three 3-pin) located in easy to reach positions on the board but only the CPU fan offers automatic fan control capabilities within the BIOS. The board features an excellent six-phase power design and a mixture of conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors and high-quality aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The board easily installed into our Cooler Master CM Stacker 830 case while cable management was good for the optical and hard drives. The board layout that NVIDIA devised for the 680i LT chipset is quite good but we would have preferred a black PCB design instead of the pedestrian green. ![]()
