| Editor/Reviewer/LED Guru  |  Re: 680i doesnt work with 45nm processors??
All I can say is ASUS is about to have one pissed off redneck on their hands.. I will eventually want to upgrade to a 45nm quad core and it says right on their site that it supports 45nm.... If I get one and it does not support it I will be contacting them about it... Its BS that they list them as being compatible with the future 45nm procs and now they are saying opps sorry.. can someone say False Advertising? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Vic Rattlehead's Hoe  | Re: 680i doesnt work with 45nm processors?? It will most likely work with a BIOS update. There is nothing new in the 45nm chips that would require a new chipset with the possible exception of FSB speeds, and I doubt that 1600 will be too much for it to handle. | |

Thats the one I'm after. I'm sure most people would rather keep there current boards though. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Sempr0n? | Re: 680i doesnt work with 45nm processors?? Confirmed, it isn't a BIOS problem. The motherboards lack specific circuitry. bit-tech.net | Nvidia 680i boards don't support Penryn? | |

| Aqua Pimp  | Re: 680i doesnt work with 45nm processors?? Let the conspiracy theories fly! Is this payback for Nvidia's unconscionable greed when it came to licensing SLI? If X38-48 can't run Penryn and SLI, nobody will? Has Nvidia lost the chipset race and decided the only way to sell SLI boards is with a carefully orchestrated "planned obsolescence" strategy? Is AMD/ATI laughing their nutsack off? Will Molly marry Pete even though she's carrying Dr. Johnson's baby? Is Peter Patrelli going to go back in time and become his own father? | |

| Vic Rattlehead's Hoe | Re: 680i doesnt work with 45nm processors??
No, probably more like the 680i chipset being over a year old, but it wouldn't surprise me. But the X38 *can* run SLI, if the motherboard maker adds the nVidia MCP chip. It has been done. I doubt it. Probably. Molly is going to dump both Pete and Dr Johnson and run away to a lesbian commune with Dr Johnson's wife. You heard it here first! That would mean having sex with his mother, before she was his mother. Freud would have a field day with him.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Editor/Reviewer/LED Guru | Re: 680i doesnt work with 45nm processors?? SO.... this means that ASUS should be hooking me up with a new mobo that will support 45nm Procs eh? lol.. I mean, after all, their webpage says it will support them.. the newegg page said it would... the box says it would the manual says it would.. that would be I believe false advertising...  | |

| Vic Rattlehead's Hoe | Re: 680i doesnt work with 45nm processors??
It is a motherboard level issue, so the question is this: Did Asus know about whatever change was going to be required and include it in their 680i boards? Asus is *the* top tier manufacturer for all boards and if anyone outside of Intel would have known about this requirement it would have been them. They could have very easily included the change in their boards. I would call Asus and see what they have to say. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

While that sux, it does mean that their advertising is accurate since it just says "45nm Processors" and does not specify dual vs quad. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Sempr0n? | Re: 680i doesnt work with 45nm processors??
Yup, straight from the horse's mouth. If you've got an Nforce board you can't run 45nm quad core. Nice. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
