The following is customer feedback from newegg.
"Intel made last second changes in this chip, and as a result, motherboards which worked effectively with engineering samples can now no longer support it. Oddly, this eliminated basically all 680i motherboards.. this isn't an issue of a BIOS fix, eVGA, BFG, and others have already announced they will not support this chip on their 680i motherboards.. So, if you have a 680i motherboard, you need to pass. Only 7xx series motherboards need apply."
"Intel changed the microcode of the QX9650 retail/OEM chips at the last minute before launch, and is not releasing the code to Nvidia until it agrees to grant SLI license to Intel, as a result no Nvidia chipset based motherboards can support the new chip as of now. eVGA is currently working on a BIOS for their 680i boards by cracking the code themselves."
Man, why do they have to play these games? Can't we all just love one another.
