So what's nVidia gonna do? Sue themselves? They made the chipset. And if you read what HP stated there are certain configurations where the combination appears to be stable.
I bet you the FSB will raise just as well. At any rate, when the G0 stepping Core2Duos released, they were not highly overclockable on the 680i's, a P31 BIOS update solved this problem. The processor released TWO days ago, it's POSTING, EVGA is even released beta BIOSs FOR it via e-mail, should you request it. They will release an update, it will increase its overclockability, everything in computing has problems when it launches, it's not PERFECT. MMORPGs, Chipsets, GPUs, everything. The processor uses the SAME architecture at a smaller-than-before 45nm. What would make it SO hard to operate? You guys make it like we're trying to force a socket 771 processor to post. Nice try, this is the SAME thing that happens when ANY new processor comes out. Just like when Core2Duo first released, just like when the Quads FIRST debuted, there is no conspiracy, its going to work flawlessly, just like every other 775 chip with some "conspiracy". Also, if you guys would stop reading reviews of crap on the "inquirer", you'd know a thing about what is going on. Firstly, an NVIDIA rep confirmed that "tri-SLi" is not even in the works and was considered a fake. The pictures of it, there being few, were doctored. The point of the additional PCI-E 16x slot is to utilize newer sound cards, newer physx cards, etc. Nvidia confirmed if they EVER use more than two cards, it'll be in the form of a GX2 model, like the 7950GX2, which would only use two PCI-e slots. Lastly, the damn processor just came out, why do I want to SUPER_GOD_OVERCLOCK it? I want to burn it in, let it break-in, then, by the time I do any serious overclocking, there will be a further BIOS update. CONSPIRACY OOOOO. Conspiracys DO NOT supercede Federal Law.
