i recently installed the evga 780i SLI mobo into my dell xps 630i and i have the Q9300 which has a cpu multiplier of 7.5 but when i go into the bios and go to clock settings it show a 7x multiplier. and if i press enter to change it it will only let me choose 6 or 7. why doesnt this mobo recognize the 7.5x multiplier? it will if i press F7 to default everything, then i press F10 to save the settings and it reboots and on the post screen it shows the 7.5x multiplier but if i shut down the pc the next time i turn it on it goes back to 7x. so if any one knows why it keeps going to 7x instead of 7.5x and how to fix it please let me know and thanks much

Hello, I also have a XPS 60i with the *~#%&nforce650 sli cut down to 4lanes on the PCI express. I have a GTX280 oc/2 which runs at half the performance it should because of this.Therefore I am considering the 680i by Nforce which has full 16 lanes and full EESA support.
Question; Will this board fit and work on my Dell 630i?
How about my existing components, can they be tranferred over? memory:4 gig DDR 2 (1gigx4) Hard drive NFTS Western Digital 300gigs, Processor: Intel Duo E8500 @3.16MHZ GPU BFG Geforce GTX 280 OC2 1gig mem the standard optical drives (2) r/w ect. 750watt PSU
Creative X-fi extreme gamer 5.1 sound card.

Please reply I am really not sure about this. Hope it can fit, and work in this case, (ATX)
If it can be done, app how much would it cost to have the board replaced and fitted?
Thanks Much
