I saw the 780i chipset today while window shopping, and from what I've gathered, it's really no different than the 680i SLI chipset, spare Tri SLI, and a N/B (MCP) cooler you could likely grill your dinner with.

I'm still buying a Maximus Formula, despite the potential $90 upgrade option thru EVGA.
