    A bit frustrating considering this is a very high-end nForce 680i motherboard. Recently we tested the Penryn Yorkfield Intel Quad Core QX9650 processor on an nForce 680i SLI mainboard mainboard and...

    nvidia should just give SLI stuff to Intel and stick with Video Cards.. their mobo's are not so hot lately

    Yeah i have to agree, I find this very annoying.

    Oh well, as to be expected with top end hardware nowadays. I cannot afford a quad core anyways. :)

    You probably won't need a quad core for a while anyway with a Core 2 Duo clocked at 3.7Ghz...just hang in there untill maybe February or March I rekon..

    Good thing my upgrade cycle is 2 years.

    Ill buy the next gen mobo's in a years time and it will be Intel that time not Nvidias.

    Yes, this is a pain... i was considering yorkfield judging by how well they seem to be clocking. The amount of 680i's ive been through in the last year is ridiculous. I really wish Nv would just license SLI to intel, so that those of us who want 2 run dual card setups can atleast make a fair decision over which board we want.

    Can always get a quad phenom and 7-series chipset with quad crossfire....for much cheaper.....and it will probably work.

    Not to say it's better, just...throwing that out there :)

    Supposedly the ES works okay. Intel apparently changed something in the retail version of the chips. Perhaps a counter-action against nVIdia since they're denying them SLI? Oooh, conspiracies! :p

    Well then I need to find a way to get my hands on an ES since there is no way I'm going to change a motherboard AND processor in 6 months.

    According Asus the new Nforce 780i and 750i (See respectively the Asus P5NT Deluxe and P5N-D) will not work with the 45 nm quad core Penryn, although the 45 nm dual core versions (E8000 series) will still work on these new Nforce 780/750i and ofcourse the Nforce 680i will also work with the dual cores E8000 series:

    Meh, whats the point for 780i then?

    Intel really screwed Nvidia on this one... along with all of their users.

    Apparently only the dual core processors. This sucks, I just bought this board based on the fact it would support the upcoming 45nm parts but looks like quad is out of the question :(
