    Where Are The Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6 Motherboards?

    I am done with Gigabyte, they are totally useless. They have denied my RMA, stating that it is not repairable, voided my warranty, and stating that I have damaged my motherboard. What a crock, quality my ass, their f***ing chip dislodges from the board and they think I did it. So, they are...

    I had this problem, even when you turn on and off the computer it still doesn't help. The only thing that worked was I re-flashed my BIOS and they showed up again. I'll bet if you look at the nVIDIA ports right now on the back you'll notice the orange lights are permanently lit (even though...

    I've played GRAW, the Lost Planet DX10 Demo, and just finished Splinter Cell-Double Agent in Vista x64 Ultimate without any problems, loved the graphics my 8800GTX can pump out. I've used both Vista Ultimate 32bit & 64bit versions, and I haven't gone back to 32bit since I loaded the 64bit...

    Well I had reverted back to F4e and still noticed that Vista would not shutdown all the way. I figured maybe something in the BIOS wasn't right. So, I went into the BIOS reloaded the Optimized Defaults, then went and changed only the BIOS settings to what I had before, and now it shuts down...

    If you've flashed a BIOS to say F4f and then when you reboot did you get any error beeps before it booted back up. Usually if it fails to post or encounters an error with the BIOS then the Backup BIOS will load whatever version you had in there and overwrite the Main BIOS. Hence F2 is what is...

    Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I just got my N680SLi-DQ6 up and running now for about a week, and loving it. Found this forum/post and have been playing catchup with the last 30 pages. Which has been very informative. Was able to get my Crucial Ballistix memory up to 2.2V by adding...
