New EVGA 680i Bios

[chr6]

Just a heads up.

for those who are looking to oc their quad core cpus, however, i have read that this latest bios release does NOT fix the issue of being able to run over 300mhz+

There is a link to it on the EVGA forums. There is no change log yet.

Does it fix SLI?

Avoid this sh!t like the plauge. I now have a dead machine. See all over this thread:

I loaded this version of bios fine through the update manager. Although I am seeing the slight increase in cpu tepms like others have.

What SLI issues did this board have in the first place??

 

[lupi]

I'd tell you if I knew, but myself and some others have a hell of a time getting 79## series cards to work in SLI.

I've got a pair of 7900 gs and suffer the random rebbots/lockups when engaging SLI and trying to game.

Ran fine on my machine. Used a floppy to upgrade just as evga said to. Cleared the CMOS jumper after and all is well.

They put that notice up after people starting reporting issues. That and even now, on the download page, that notice is at the VERY bottom in small type.

At least they're replacing it, should be here Tuesday >.>

I was really hoping to hear the 680i kinks would start to dissappear. I was considering this board but happy that I went the BX2 route instead. I really hope they get these issues worked out for you guys. I would like to consider it in the future too....
