EVGA 680i & FSB issued have been fixed

[CraptacularOne]

While I cannot reveal exactly what the "fix" is, it does indeed work. And early results are very promising.

QX6700 @ 3600Mhz 400x9

QX6700 @ 3600Mhz 450x8

I thought I would post this and let everyone know that EVGA has indeed heard the pleas for the FSB issues and there is light at the end of the tunnel

EDIT: The fix is a simple board swap for a new revision....read on

Very Nice Fsb

benchies ?

[CraptacularOne]

This is a great leap from the 300Mhz FSb or so that the board has been limited to with quad cores previously. I'm still testing settings and such to find the optimal performance sweet spot, but things are indeed looking up

Still testing stability first . But I will run the usual 3Dmarks and Super PI runs soon

Even if suicide shots that still very promising

just say soft or hard

[Coroner Kyle]

Just curious does this effect the clocking abilities of conroes, allendales, etc in a positive/negative/no change way?

[Johnny Bravo]

GTL mod per chance?

People have been waiting soo long, and that's the answer! Do you need attention? Why bother posting without info.

[mr_knowitall15]

Bout time! I hope its as simple as a BIOS update or something. Ill be pissed is a hardware change is nessecary.

[EnJoY]

GTL mod per chance?

*cough*

[CraptacularOne]

People have been waiting soo long, and that's the bull answer! Do you need attension? Why bother posting an unsubstantiated rumor.

Far from a rumor that I'm posting, as you can clearly see my FSB speeds with a QX6700. And as for "needing attention"? No. I was only letting people know that it has been fixed and will be made available to everyone soon.

PS: Learn to spell before you post an insult. I typed "attention" for you in bold print so at least you can learn something today.

[CraptacularOne]

he he

LMAO....at least "lean" is spelled correctly

[theteamaqua]

oh so u got the fix and no one can big deal, and as for needing attention and all that stuff, u posted 7 times in this thread without giving any usefull information other than the 2 CPU-Z validation and no one know whether this crap guy got a bios update or a new rev motherboard ... (or as some one mention with GTL mod)

umm yeah its as useless as it can be, and ur attention w**re

now people move on let this guy have his glory

I try to do something nice and let people know that the fix is for real and is indeed working and you guys take a piss on me? With people like you I'm beginning to understand why some companies don't even bother to say anything.....

I'll not be bothered with this anymore.

Mods, please close this thread.

[billdavis]

can you at least tell me when the solution to this problem will be announced? looking foward to this solution, thanks for sharing your information whit us

very appreciated

don`t mind the ungratfull users

cheers

[kemo]

The guy is just saying that the problem is solved and he can’t give more details, just wait and you will get more details later when everything is fixed and tested

[tomb18]

Well, I am not under any disclosure agreements. I can tell you that I spoke directly to evga and they said it is a board revision and they will do a swap. It will be a while before they are in the retail channels but they can do a direct swap. They told me to go ahead and buy a board and when the revisions are available I can send it in with an advanced rma.
