    I just may have to try it and see what I think. The Silverstone in prety loud, mainly because I keep the sides off most of the time tinkering with the ever so troublesome 680i. But Damn nice looking case when sides are on. Besides I need to pull it all out anyway to re-route the rats nest of...

    4 X 1 GIG DDR2 in eVGA 680i? Works?

    Windows will only see a portion of that 4 gigs. I think it's like 2.7 gigs. So I wouldn't waiste your money on on it unless you are going to use VISTA. I think VISTA will see your 4 gigs.

    eVGA 8800GTX/GTS New BIOS

    Yes I reflashed again and then I downloaded it it to another computer and created another floppy on it. Still no good after flash. I am now thinking that it may just be a coinsidence that it happened at the moment I flashed the card and that maybe the problem lies with the EVGA 680i. The whole...

    eVGA 8800GTX/GTS New BIOS

    No I have the other 8800 in one of my other rigs. I only flashed one card. and only had one card in the machine. I'm not saying the BIOS is no good. I am just warning those who do not need it should not use it as there is the chance for something to go wrong. Like it did with mine for whatever...

    eVGA 8800GTX/GTS New BIOS

    Yes I know how but DON'T DO IT!!! Unless you need to run a Apple 23" display, you don't need this BIOS. I flashed my EVGA 8800 GTX yesterday. The flash is simple...........run the EXE and it makes a bootable file on your floppy...........you select to boot from the floppy drive and the BIOS...

    *** Official eVGA 680i Thread ***

    Correction on the Zalman 9700. I had to mod it slightly to get it to fit. I had to spread the fins apart to gain another 3/8" . In my particular case the mother board rides almost flush with the case and the 9700 extends about 3/8" to 1/2" past the edge of the mother board.
