I just got my processor today, it's an ES X6800 (which is great).
Tried to install it in a:
EVGA Nforce 680I SLI
Part# 122CKNF68A1
Bios Rev.# P31
but all that's showing up is an E6800, called the company that sold it to me, they indicated that it's indeed an X6800.
I don't know what the Heck it is, CPUz is saying its E6800.
Did anybody face a similar Issue?
 
The multiplier for both processors is 11x if I'm not mistaken. Try increasing it in your bios. If you can't, it's probably an E6800
 
the only difference between an e6800 and an X6800 would be unlocked higher multipliers than the stock. Since most ES's are unlocked they might be calling an ES E6800 an X6800, b/c they are basically the same thing. As long as they told you its an ES, that you're buying as technically those aren't supposed to be sold, b/c Intel retains the rights / ownership to all ES's.
