hey, i was wondering if my XFX nForce 680iLT motherboard can support an e8400? it sux cause i just purchased this with an e6750 like a month ago. if it can support it, im definitely going to sell my processor and buy the e8400. heres a link to my mother board. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applica [...] P450-9102.

thanks you guys for your feedback.

Looks like a no on 45nm from what I can tell so far... could try contacting XFX directly though.

Well the manufatuers website is bland as crap... no specific CPU support for it. As I heard the 680i series was unable to support the C2Q Yorkfeilds but nothing on the Penryns. Call them and ask thats all you can do.

I was under the impression that for older motherboards there would be updates for the bios to support 45nm, but don't take my word for it.
