Make sure to say no when it asks if you want to load network access manager.

Ahhh ty!!! I remember being asked if i wanted to install this when i was upgrading the chipset drivers for XP. I replied yes not knowing would cause this issue. As far as Vista goes i cannot remember if i did or not. Will do a complete reformat and try when i get home from work. I am at wits end with this card and want make sure it is not the mb causing the compatibility isse.

After speaking with them agains was asked to make sure there were no icq issues and to disable all icq options in bios not needed. Cannot think of any options in bios i left enabled that i did not need.

Robilar, I found another one for sale and the seller had this with the ad.

For sale because nVidia drivers dont properly support RAID...performance is capped around 120MB/S sustained, so no use to me. (this is a problem applicable to about 90% of 680I boards I have seen results from, irrespective of maker)

Apart from that, works fine. Been used for around 3 days. Comes retail boxed with all accessories

Suitable for G80 SLI!! The board layout is pretty good, but the chipset is pretty toasty (ie..very hot) I will not accept returns if the board fails due to inadequate cooling!

I like your other avatars better!

The board we have is the best 680i board out. The only other option you would have would be to get a 975x chipset board like the asus p5w dh deluxe and run modded drivers but its only 8x8x and the drivers are very out of date and may have issues with 8800's. I haven't seen anyone running a raid on a 650i board. The alternative might be the newer Asus P5N32-E Plus. There really isn't any data as to what it does. The sb is 570i so the board is technically a 650i hybrid but that may not solve your raid issues. Or you could go with a 650i board like the p5n-e but it only has 8x8x support and is not rated for over 800 mhz ram.

I only ran a raid setup briefly on this board with a pair of 74 gb raptors. The performance seemed fine but I did not do as detailed an analysis (nor did I run into the issues you have had).

Is like i said [Robilar] maybe this board is too complicate for some and no for other people.And so far i don't have any of the issues that i see in this whole thread,and fell sry for those members.Maybe they think that the board is faulty and is no good.We try to help the best we can.

I like this board very much and got a good 24/7 gaming clock of 3.48 on air!

I have no complaints apart from these minor ones
-Only 6 sata ports...
-Horizontal sata as opposed to the vertical connections
-Cheap plastic broke easily on the ports
-Raid issues
-Board is VERY hot

Other than that I love it from the bios to the bits

This board is great too, although I had issues with the LDT freq and I get crashes but im gonna update the software to fix the crashes, OCs excellent though!

Those are both using the original nf4 chipset and are neither 650i or 680i chipsets. they also won't overclock over about 350 FSB regardless of chip or stepping.

The only chip that would make those boards worthwhile is one with an unlocked multi. Then you could do for example 10 or 11x an fsb to get a decent overclock. Even then, the boards have very little control over vcore and would prevent much OC.
