System posts. Chip IDs in BIOS fine. FSB and Multiplier report wrong.
System immediately BSODs loading windows at BIOS defaults.
Manually adjust EIST and voltages do not help.
Disabling core 3 & 4 allows Windows XP to load. That's how I'm posting now.
Still trying more options....
hmmm. not what I wanted to hear. did you try to disable EIST?Quote:

I'll expect this topic to continue to cause problems until the issue is resolved all together.
The negative responses is towards nvidia and their boards partners, who still claim up coming bios support for multicore 45nm processors on their i680/i650 boards and have done for many months now.
If they can't get a yorkfield to run on these boards (when clearly they had months to carefully experiment with this) then this would certainly be my last nvidia based motherboard!
Ahhhhh...that's better!
But it's not what you think ;)
My QX6850 is again nestled under my block and I'm ready to continue on playing Crysis and COD4 :)
Nvidia has some SERIOUS work to do. Its far more than getting the multipliers working. 4 cores never made it into Windows. 3 cores could get there, but crash soon after. 2 cores was stable under load...as was 1 core.
Below is the best I can do....just 2 cores:
EIST enabled or not didn't help.....just as ineffective as the other CPU related BIOS settings. I tried em all.
I know I'll get flamed for this, but I'll dump this QX9650 before I dump my 2 gfx cards and a mobo. I hope Nvidia works this out...but I'm guessing the best they will come up with is some margin of improved stability. I'm thinking they'll never really get it humming for nice overclocks. Maybe I'm wrong though...I hope.
Anywho...keep an eye on the For Sale section if Nvidia can't come up with a good fix;)
W/ Crysis out and lots of us jonesin' for Very High RIGHT NOW...SLI's the only place to be. :(
Dino, while im keen to see your results, i dont think it'll serve this threads purpose because your current chip is an ESQuote:

Sorry about your troubles. :(Quote:

What board revision you got? C00 or D00?Quote:

Now nividea can be holding the bios back since they want to sell new chipsets or they are just horrible unstable with the current chipset.
I think it will come down to the mother board maker to put out a bios that actually works.
Intel would shoot themselves if they said these will run on the 680 because all makers would build pcs with them.From what I have seen they aint stable.
How bad would intel look if the masses bought 4gig quad core 680 rigs and none of them were stable.INtel never stated that 680 is supported,we are just lucky it boots up.
Will these run in a Asus P5K Premium?
Without having actually tested it, i would say yes - but ensure you've the latest BIOS
how do you know thisQuote:

Is it an ES or retail?Quote:

Thank you for contacting the EVGA Customer Service Team.
My name is Christian Burns and I will be answering your question today. Please do not reply to this email, submit any follow up questions here
Question (11/14/2007 12:54:23 PM): I have a retail QX9650, if you have a beta bios to run this CPU, I would be willing to try it, and provide feedback. I am currently running P31, and it will not post with this CPU, I get "--" on the LED panel.
Answered By Christian B (11/15/2007 3:21:19 PM): Mike, For the moment, any 45nm CPU's are not compatible with the 680i SLI motherboard. Once we find if this is a simple BIOS update then we will post it on our forums and download drivers page. EVGA Tech Support
Ha. In other words, "F-U. We know it doesn't work and I'm sure you'll find out if we fix it. You're on your own, sucka'."Quote:

A lot of people writes that this is intels way of responding to nvidia for not letting intel getting the sli license on intel chipset. And a lot of them are saying that this right thing for intel to do, what? Sli is nvidias thing,gimick or what ever. If they license it to intel what will they have left then? I really hope that this is just an error of some kind, that intel/nvidia has not forsawn(sp) and that they are working on a resolution. Cus if intel plays crooks again like in the past then they are just a piece of trash-company. (I say, if) if intel wants sli then i guess that intel has to produce cpus with a nvida logo so that it will be all and well... hehe
I dunno what voodoo you guys are working to get these things posting. I sure as hell can't get it (qx9650) to post on my dfi 680i LT.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out now that there is manufacturer confirmation that the issue exists. And with that confirmation it's time that a couple of people give Hipro the respect he deserves and apologize.
