EVGA 680i A1 will not post

[Think]

Go figure, after installing this board on the CHANCE that it would be a credible unit in comparison to there previous model, the A1 version with the latest bios would not show proper default multipliers for my Q6600 and for a short period of time, one of the onboard fan controllers would not work. Took a nap and did it again but this time it will not post - no beep - no error indication other than two -- on the boards digital read out. What a POS ...took the battery out, reset a few times and still no luck. At least the fan controller starting working again.

I would like to dedicate this thread to anyone who has issues with this board - only the problems please.

BTW, the vdroop is horendous!!!

damn strange problem.. hmmm what about have you tried booting with only 1 stick of ram ?? that sometimes works.

[Think]

Yes, I've tried that as well - i'm in the process of RMAing the board.

I took out my Intel Q6600GO and installed it in another board and it works perfectley.
I installed a Celeron D 320 3.06ghz processor and it posts perfectly.

RMA outta here!!!.

I'll call EVGA and try to get to the bottom of this.
