That means very little ATM until we see a bios that is verified fully working with retails Yorkfield chips, even my Asus P5N-E SLI board supports 'IntelŪ next generation 45nm Multi-core CPU'
Not a single P5N***** i680/i650 board on the list yet:

if my nF680 will not support Yorkfields i will send it back to Asus with BIG BANG!
I doubt 680i will support Yorkfield at this pointOriginally Posted by OBR

My last nVidia board. Intel/AMD boards or nothing from now on...
I'm on 650i and it would better support Yorkfield if not good bye Nvidia,I will never buy nvidia chipset again they are too hot anyway.
Considering the nForce 680i was released in Novemeber of 06 and it supports at least 45nm dual cores (Wolfsdale) is pretty good I think. The first Intel platform to officially support any 45nm CPU's is P35 which was released in June 07, 6 months after the 680i.

It's far from good enough, the Intel chipsets are always superior in performance and more stable than the nVidia versions.
Intel chipset revisions sometimes yield significant performance gains, sometimes not but the nVidia boards are merely just rehashes of their old nforce5 chipset.
The only good chipset nVidia has released (relative to the competition) is the nforce 2 board, the rest have been pretty dire, only cheaper prices and lack of decent AMD boards has kept them going...
Intel chipsets usually scale higher on FSB and run cooler, no denying that. But they have a clear advantage as they also design the CPU. The NVIDIA SB on recent 680i is from nForce 5 series but the NB was redesigned. On the nForce 2 note, ahhhh, I miss my NF7-S 2.0 with my Barton mobile!!!! Bring back soundstorm!

I am unfortunate to say that hipro5 is right. I have a QX9650 ES L734A in a eVGA 680i SLI board, the damn thing boots at 87x9 ~ 0.5GHz, freezes right after setting any FSB, two of the cores arent even booting up. Will try the P31 BIOS. If anyone has some beta BIOS that is compatible for York please PM me or post it here.
Damn nVidia

lol would you feelty if your P35 board couldn't boot with it
cause there are some that still don't due to lack of bios support
try DFI P35 for example
it will just take time
what's the big deal
Lame
P.S.: Same result with P31 BIOS. Err, not really, now it boots at 93x6MHz!

tiborrr, what do you mean by Hipro was right?
Hipro said retail, not ES
Basically a done deal since EVGA has publicly stated there would be no support for Yorkfields on the 680i platform.

First post. Most after that are people wanting new boards.
oh well at least 780i will work with it
funny that dual cores will be supported
It does seem odd. The following are more posts from EVGA in that thread. About the only thing hardware related that's left is the power plane. Kinda unclear now if Intel is screwing with nVidia, nVidia just plain messed up or nVidia is screwing with their customers.oh well at least 780i will work with it

Unfortunately, this is the official word. There will not be official support for the QX9650 CPU on the 680i platform, anything you heard prior to this announcement is not correct. There will still be an update in December for Wolfdale CPU's however.We can tell you it is a hardware limitation on the 680i board. With the release of a new CPU sometimes it is not just a simple die shrink, even if the CPU draws less power there could be other specs and requirements.I can tell you it is not a chipset, socket, or FSB issue.
It's just LAME)...
INTEL PWA FOR EVER

We will teach you the American Slang!It's just LAME
Hmmm.....What is "Slang"....like language or so?....

lol. Your English is just fine. That pretty much describes the situation.It's just LAME
lame is the correct word.
Slang is like casual unofficial language, usually a made up word for something that slowly grows into common use.
