I agree,,,,

from what ive been reading about them.

Apparently in the 'official' evga overclocking guide, they warn not to volt over 3.3. What did the epp detection set them at automatically? Did epp work well for you? Sorry for all the questions-- just that I've been considering the next upgrade.

Edit: OOps! I meant to say 2.3, not 3.3

I had my memory at 2.4V and now it won't run stock speeds even if I run at stock voltage (2.1V) despite the fact that the DIMMs are rated up to 2.35V.... I haven't tested in another board yet to be sure it's the memory though. To me it almost seems like the northbridge has a very short lifespan.

By ROCKS I meant, of course, that it works as advertised in slightly more than 50% of instances

Well I RMAed my 680i while I was at work today, and my replacement was DOA... Then I grabbed another one and it seems to be working fine. One of my sticks of D9s is definitely dead though. :(
