    Can a single Nvidia card handle a 30" monitor?

    Just thought I'd weigh in here... I've had a 3007 WFP since 2006 and have been using it just fine with a single 8800GTX. This includes games, albeit not the latest and greatest, but it does play WoW perfectly fine, as well as a smattering of other games that I've tried. Definately not max...

    Memory Problems with Corsiar XMS8500 Dominator & eVGA 680i

    Nice start date =) No worries... I bought Corsair stuff because of the CS reputation. I was just curious how long the process is supposed to take.

    Memory Problems with Corsiar XMS8500 Dominator & eVGA 680i

    That sucks... how long ago did you RMA? I'm just starting this process now. I submitted a TSX form last night and have yet to hear back.

    Memory Problems with Corsiar XMS8500 Dominator & eVGA 680i

    Rated at 2.2v and that's what I'm running it at.

    Memory Problems with Corsiar XMS8500 Dominator & eVGA 680i

    I read that thread too. I guess I'm just wondering why the heck it would be primarily these sticks that are having the problems. I'm looking at a potential of $700 worth of RAM getting blown by this board, so I'm just a little worried. Makes me wonder if I should ditch the board entirely...

    Memory Problems with Corsiar XMS8500 Dominator & eVGA 680i

    I have this exact same issue. I tried to set my ram up to to these settings on a single stick and it reboots and resets back. I ran the latest memtest anyway at the 800mhz setting to see if my RAM was faulty, and sure enough, 1 stick passed the 30 minute test but 1 stick did not. It seems...

    Thermal Paste - Any preference?

    What heatsinks ARE compatible with the 680i?

    Zalman 9700 fits, but you have to modify the backplate a little. There's 2 spots where you have to cut the plastic cell divider with a razor blade, and then a corner that you either have to dremmel down or shave off with a razor blade. Took me about 10 minutes to do. I can post some pics...

    eVGA 680i Boot up problem

    Did you check the LED code on the motherboard when it hangs like that? I had a somewhat similar problem when I first booted up my machine because I had the keyboard and mouse swapped. You'd think I'd know by now which goes where, but these things happen =) My code was 25 IIRC. Find your...

    eVGA 680i SATA RAID failure

    Please do test this in RAID 5. I'd be curious to see if that level is susceptible to the same problems. Hopefully we can get a response from eVGA soon if enough people with this issue post about it.

    Heh. That was jpg. Reconverted it to png. Much smaller.

    eVGA 680i SATA RAID failure

    Anyone else having issues with the SATA RAID on this board? I saw over at the eVGA forums that a couple other people are experiencing similar issues. This only occurs when I'm writing to disk while trying to doing something else. For example, I just loaded up WoW, it started downloading the...

    680i & e6600 Repeated Disk Boot Failure

    Sorry, but I'm going to have to side with Mike on this one. RMA the board. Irregardless whether you think it's only a software issues, it's better safe than sorry. Also, this sounds more like issues with either the Raid controller causing corruption, which some people have reported here, or...

    Thermal Paste - Any preference?

    Just picked up a e6600 and the eVGA 680i mobo... curious if people have a preference on thermal paste? I do plan on OC'ing a bit, nothing crazy, but I'd like to get back into it. I seem to recall that Arctic Silver was decent stuff, but which kind? Or perhaps another brand is better....

    Suggestions on etailer for 2GB of Dominator?

    I would have got this at the egg, but they're OOS... =( Anyone have a suggestion on where else to get these instead? I could buy from a number of places, but my trust is limited =) Looking for some personal feedback about other sites.
