It's time to FORGET working a Yorkfield on a i680/i780 chipset...

[p8ntslinger676]

*sigh* this sucks.

[asp6000]

I've been using various nvidia chipset boards for 2 years straight now...

Now have DFI X38 on order and not looking back... to faulty sli drivers or the crapola nvidia chipsets

Remember the 680i 300fsb max for quad-cores last year? They were gimped from day one, then approx. five months later evga released the A1 revision....

Yeah bro I remember that very well. I still have the EVGA 680i SLi back at home so knowing no Penryn quad support is pretty bad. EOL for it I guess.

Any one know the exact release date of 780i ?

And will it supoort Yorkfield?!

[The_Beast]

that suck

[GAR]

780i will be released in mid december, and fully supports yorkfield cpu's and all 45nm cpu's...................but 680i only will support 45nm dual core cpu's

[Ridstar]

according to this http://event.asus.com/mb/45nm/ the nforce 780i wont support the new 45nm quads... but duo's are capable....

[WRC]

according to evga the 780i fully supports quad core yorkfield. I'm hoping the dual cores can clock a lot higher to make up for only using two cores

[NH|Delph1]

Motherboards using the "780i" chipset will have Yorkfield support. Mid-December is still the set launch date as far as I know.

Motherboards using the 680i chipset and the NVIDIA standard layout will not support Yorkfield. It's a layout problem, not a chipset problem.

supports , Dont supports , supports Baaahhhh
I'm confused
Can i get an offical link that say's it gona Support or its not please

i think initially 780i didn't support yorkies but since 780i hasn't been released, they can respin the chipset to support yorkies by delaying the 780i launch a tad... too late to respin 680i hence no support

[bingo13]

The 780i boards were delayed (week of 12/17) to rework the boards to work with Yorkfield correctly. Since they had a delay, they tweaked the 680i chipset one last time (780i is nothing more than 680i+PCIe 2.0 Bridge Chip). The first 780i boards did not work with the C0 Yorkies, they did work just fine with the A1 Yorkies, so there is more to the that story.

Not a chipset issue

I think ppl are panicking over nothing

I am pretty sure support will be added in furture bios updates for 680i

[twin_savage]

that'd be nice

It's too bad nVidia doesn't share those same thoughts. Maybe instead of writing "am pretty sure" you should have wrote "hope".

old thread i know

but one of my i4memory team mates is using his new RETAIL yorkfield with DFI 680i and latest beta bios

YES 680i + RETAIL QX9650 = working beautifully heheheh

he posted a whole bunch of results on HWBOT

That doesn't surprise me. If it can be done leave it to DFI to figure it out.

Pffff....... and people thought DFI sucked for intel.

[Cold Fussion]

Don't suppose theres any chance of the new yorkfields working on a p5n32-e sli?

So is that the only 680i board that will?

I must be blind... (can't find it)... can you post a link?

Sure enough. Verification links and everything.

No.
ASUS Striker Extreme also works like a charm with Yorkfields, with latest alpha BIOSs, they will be released soon for public use.
