Problem with 680i and Q6600

[PCTC2]

Yes. I still have the AR revision of the eVGA 680i. I just don't have the time to replace it so I'm making do with it and it's huge v-droop. However, I am having problems with my Q6600 booting.

It posts fine, however now it recognizes the Q6600 either having a 15x or 26x multiplier. That is a huge problem, because the BIOS is reading that as 10.4GHz when overclocked to a set 8*400 (3.2GHz). Any suggestions? I updated the BIOS to P30 (the newest).

Should I just MAKE time now and RMA it?

have you tried to flash it to the newest bios?

It sounds to me like you don't have much choice. Of course, you could always decide to replace it with a much better board, then sell the RMA'd 680i when it comes back.

eh. I have to keep my 680i. I run SLI for graphics and I don't feel like upgrading to a better vid card with the G92's so close. Looks like an RMA is in place. But posting at a "10.4GHz" is quite a WR, eh?
