680I SLI Quad Core Question
hey all, right i got back from america 3 weeks ago and since then i havnt even tried overclocking due to needing a better cooler (hitting 63 load). ive got the SE version of the board and am i right in saying it doesnt overclock quad core processors well?? and is there an update/fixed bios etc.. to enable the use of quad core overclocking??
cheers Ross_uk

No there is no BIOS that will help ypu overclock on a "SE" board. The SE boards are NF63-TR. And NF63-TR is NF68-TR/AR boards re-packaged.
__________________The "SE" AKA NF63-TR AKA NF68-TR/AR boards problem to overclock quad cores is not a BIOS problem but is a hardware limitation due to improper electrical current regulation. EVGA will not exchange the board for a quad overclocker friendly revision if you purchased the "SE" version. You screwed yourself by wanting to save a few $. Buy a new board if you want to overclock and make sure you tell EVGA how you feel about it. (You can overclock a quad slightly with the "SE" boards but the limit in most case is around 1200-1300FSB which is very gimped. And Quad with a stock 1333FSB like the QX6850 simply won't work at all.)
