While I cannot reveal exactly what the "fix" is, it does indeed work. And early results are very promising.

QX6700 @ 3600Mhz 450x8

I thought I would post this and let everyone know that EVGA has indeed heard the pleas for the FSB issues and there is light at the end of the tunnel :)
EDIT: The fix is a simple board swap for a new revision....read on :)
Very Nice Fsb
benchies ? :)
This is a great leap from the 300Mhz FSb or so that the board has been limited to with quad cores previously. I'm still testing settings and such to find the optimal performance sweet spot, but things are indeed looking up :)
Still testing stability first :). But I will run the usual 3Dmarks and Super PI runs soon :)Quote:

so... what did it, a new bios? new mobo revision?
what changed it
or when will we all be able to make the change
do you think it will work on all the 680i mobos
thanks

GTL mod per chance?
People have been waiting soo long, and that's the answer! Do you need attention? Why bother posting without info.Quote:

(or as some one mention with GTL mod)
umm yeah its as useless as it can be, and ur attention w**re
now people move on let this guy have his glory
I try to do something nice and let people know that the fix is for real and is indeed working and you guys take a piss on me? With people like you I'm beginning to understand why some companies don't even bother to say anything.....Quote:

can you at least tell me when the solution to this problem will be announced? looking foward to this solution, thanks for sharing your information whit usQuote:

cheers
The guy is just saying that the problem is solved and he can’t give more details, just wait and you will get more details later when everything is fixed and tested
Well, I am not under any disclosure agreements. I can tell you that I spoke directly to evga and they said it is a board revision and they will do a swap. It will be a while before they are in the retail channels but they can do a direct swap. They told me to go ahead and buy a board and when the revisions are available I can send it in with an advanced rma.

Herbalaire reviews
Don't know what the harsh treatment is about, this is the news forum... had he posted this elsewhere we could have expected the actuall fix.
But this is the news forum where we talk about the futrue of our wonderful world of computing.
i think its good when ppl post this kind of stuff it is good to know if im going to buy any new hardware, its really :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty of the ppl that are attacking him and says hes only saying this for attention
i think its awesome to know there is a fix for the fsb probs on this board and i think everyone that needs it will get it sooner or later--
thanks for the tip anyways, and u have really nice fsb on the cpuz shots
Shame that so many :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: about this thing... It's good to know that the 680i boards will truly fly.
Should be posted in Intel section or computer open related discussion...
Does this bios fix the problem with raising the FSB, and having the PS2 keyboard/mouse glitch?
I know thats one problem I had with mine, My processor can do 3.5Ghz, but my mouse/keyboard glitch like a mofo!
Doesnt glitch with USB keyboard/mouse tho.

If someone were to post an unsupported inquirer link he would get flamed or belittled. This is even less useful, at least they're as forthcoming as possible.Quote:

As you can clearly see, that is a 450mhz FSB with all 4 cores and the 680i
And a pic of the system if you doubt my validity....

And as far as I'm concerned, people like you can piss off....because I'm tired of getting pissed on for giving you people the first real proof that the issue has indeed been fixed.
It is real guys, please see here for news regarding this:
http://www.evga.com/community/messag...TOPIC_ID=28369
Good, they finally posted it. I can now say it was a simple board swap. Didn't even need to reinstall windows or drivers. Just unplug/unscrew and replace, that's it. I was just asked to not say anything about what the fix was until they made the announcement.Quote:

hmm maybe i will grab on of these now.
jAKuP,
Can one of the boards be ordered directly from Canada? Or do I first have to uy one here and then ship it to you?
Thanks
wow , i love the way EVGA respond to Custumers like this :up:Quote:

Thanks
while we are here, this is off topic so excuse me but I was wondering about the 6pin 12v power on the mobo, do they come with an adapter for them?
It's great that they are doing this but they will have alot of people from other countires complaining that they can't get cross ship or whatnot, when imo the exchange is done as a favor... any other mobo maker out there would just make a new revision and leave the bad apples out there.
Craptacular....ignore the trolls. There are plenty of us that like seeing this kind of thing get posted.

Suppose I'll add this too, regarding the PCB revision to look for.
The new one is..
PCB 180-7R093-0000-D00
The old one was..
PCB 180-7R093-0000-C00
So I would assume that the "D" at the end is what to look for on the PCB revision.
EDIT: @ screwtech02, temps are actually pretty decent. I run my CPU at 3.2ghz 24/7 and idle/load temps are 45/55 give or take a few degrees between the cores. I can take it all the way up to 3.9Ghz with it, but temps begin to get scary at 62/74.....:(
alright this seem real well time for me to shop for Q6600
is against forum rules to flame another members SO STOP BEFORE SOME ONE BANS YOU.... is annoying this thread is to show evga is replacing the mobos for new ones fixed so stop the crap
crap you are awsome
picts of the mobo ehh
hmmm i still have a evga 680i, gosh id feel so raped to switch it again for my abit

Iolite vaporizer review
I'll get some pictures up tomorrow, my battery in my camera is dead atm. But it looks identical to the original board, save for a few resistors on the back side of the board is about the only thing I spotted. But I didn't do a meticulous inspection to see, they just looked identical, so what they changed was very minimal.Quote:

Gentlemen:
Please take a deep breath here and let this all calm down.
Regardless of motives, someone has come to offer some NEWS to all and for that we should say thank you. He may not be allowed to say anything else but was permitted to let "slip" that a fix is coming.
Take it for what it is and Please stop the name calling.
Thank you!
So, WTF did they actually fix?!
I agree that this is fairly useless as there is no clue as to what the fix IS, but the harsh treatment is also unnessecary, on both sides. This thread should just be closed and move on, until the actual fix is known, and is due to be released or something.
The fix is known, eVGA will swap your board with a newer revision. Read here, jAkUp already posted the link on the previous page.
woohoo the quad fsh issue is solved
thanks CraptacularOne
Dave its payday in 4 days evga and quad on phase maybe

The remedy is known... we still don't know what the problem was or what they changed.Quote:

Someone please post a high res pic of the GTL resistors so we can compare and we will know for sure.
Kudos to eVGA for being willing to swap boards that are technically not broken in any way! Could have just released the board revision as 1333 compatable.
Cant hlp this next bit...to the trolls.... dont congratulate anyone who gets a good result with ES hardware from now on, dont encourage anyone to post details of anything they`re working on unless its finished and open for discussion, dont encourage anyone who has access to cherry-picked hardware. Is it envy or jealousy?
I wont respond to any flames, so dont wate your time, just think about it.
Not broken... I think not being able to use a PS/2 Keyboard/mouse is not working like it should.. I hope this new revision fixes this problem, because it sucks not being able to run your computer at 100% load.Quote:

Not the new revision. Under load the PS/2 ports are working fine for me.Quote:

Has anyone reported results for dual core setups, or is this a quad core issue fix only?
I have tried my E6400 in the board already and it runs exactly the same FSB with no problem 450x8 3600Mhz. The new board only improves quad core FSB speeds.Quote:

but why not just get a different board lol you will still smash the AMDs in performance no worries at all...even at lower clocksQuote:

3.5GHz is easyQuote:

Well my current E6300 does 3.5, but on this mainboard it only does 1.86
~Mike
so you cannot overclock?Quote:

i can do the same OCs on the 680i up to about 450 bootable FSB.........i've actually got a wall with all CPUs at 449MHz...............still no word on that form my contact :(
yeah clocking the FSB is easy, but... Cant do anything without USB mouse/keyboard...
~Mike
yeah so just change mobos as i said before if you aren't happyQuote:

Hey Cowie, long time no see :) Hows everything been dude? I seen your scores with the SLI 8800GTS's, not bad buddy :)Quote:

Here are some pics of the new revision of the board....
These were originally posted by glenn37216 over at the EVGA forums, he is also one of the people who have the new revision board.
As you can see there is really no obvious difference in the boards.

http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2466/stuff121el0.jpg
If it's what I think it is then no there will be no visual difference, just a change in resistor values near the socket.
what are you kidding? they suck score wise but its a gameing terror lol.Quote:

take it easy i will see you around bro.please keep any info on such stuffs coming if possable
I got an email about this board today. Submitted an RMA. Hopefully this will fix all my problems.
