EVGA NForce 680i SLI Motherboard

I don't think you can run unlinked with sync mode. Or can you? Once I switch to unlinked mode, the memory ratio setting becomes greyed out.

No but you can run linked with ratio's ie linked but non sync 2:3 will give same result as an unlinked result.

Your statement of

"I just tried 400X9 linked & unlinked with memory at 533.They were virtually even again in 8M."

suggests a linked non sync mode of 2:3 in actuality and not a comparison of true linked sync to unlinked.

Obviously there is more here than meets the eye, which is to be expected with new hardware, and I think your later results are pretty spot on when it comes to Superpi, but that should not be a given across the board, especailly when it comes to 3d benching. Everyone should suck it and see.

So I can put the SLi Bridge in the first slots or the second slots ? but sometimes the better solution to find stability and performance is to try the both, no ?


I have a Seasonic M12 700W, can it power my too babies 8800GTX ?


I'll have a KF soon, is there issues beetween this CPU and the eVGa 680i SLi ?

Is the performance gap beetween KF@333x13 and KF@266x16 ?

My main word is : STABILTY

What is the procedure to get new eVGA bios release and flash it ?

Dont tel me eVGA website because there non section for nForce680i SLi for Bioses...

eVga is where you will find it, right where you looked...when it is released...

Okay, I see your point. But again, there is virtually no difference in Pi between linked and unlinked, even when linked is running in sync mode. I will do more tests. But people who say unlinked mode is slower (at least in Pi) are wrong.

Is anyone else encountering a hard (synced) fsb wall at 449 on this board? I am using Corsair 6400C4s.

I wrote this on "680i overclocking" topic.

EVGA 680i with bios P19.

nTune (manually adj. for the mobo dont work)...the rest of nTune is OK.

8x multi up to 444.5 FSB is OK.

445 up to 465 No boot.

466.6 FSB everything OK.
I will try for more if my cpu can handle it.

@Phil
MEM @800 (UNLINKED) works fine 4-3-2-4 1T.

P.S.
Further testing using 7x multi...the board booted @480 Mhz FSB.
