622035 2007-12-17 20:51:00 EVGA's website is useless, they don't have a CPU support list for their boards

Couldn't agree more, what a useless manufacture, I spent over an hour looking on the site and many other places and the closest I managed to find was in the manual, Page 58
Intel Core 2 Extreme, Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel Core 2 Duo, Pentium EE,and Pentium. It says it supports pentium, which are generally either 533 or 800 FSB.

622036 2007-12-17 20:53:00 RAM support says DDR2-533 to 1200, maybe when they say FSB 1333 they mean as a maximum? would be pretty stupid if it didn't support the CPU Norseguy chose Agent_24 (57)

Agree -:thumbs:

Is it just me or did what Norseguy wrote sound " Not Right" - I think you know what I Mean ?

They also said upon recieving the motherboard I could send it back and recieve a replacment board if I still couldn't get it to work.

Yeah that does seem a bit strange. How do you send a board for replacement that you already sent them?

Maybe they sent it back first..?

622039 2007-12-17 21:40:00 Yes that is correct, I'm supposed to recieve the board back in the next few days. Norseguy (12873)
622040 2007-12-18 00:28:00 Yes that is correct, I'm supposed to recieve the board back in the next few days.

would that be the same one or a new one?

622041 2007-12-18 01:14:00 The EVGA 680i boards are just reference nvidia boards it will support your CPU fine thats not the problem. As WT said early you've likely damaged the motherboard from shorting it with the risers. Pete O'Neil (6584)
622042 2007-12-18 03:12:00 Then why did they say it was fine when he sent it back, if it had been damaged? weird. Agent_24 (57)

It might not be damaged, could potentially be a completely different problem. Was just saying its not a CPU compatibility issue.

622044 2007-12-18 05:06:00 Yeah they're shipping the board back to me on the 19th, and they said in the email "Upon recieving the item and you can not make the item work please contact us via our web page and we will send you a replacement board." Norseguy (12873)
