Title: Got a 680i motherboard?
Post by: Mags on November 08, 2007, 12:10:43 PM
Just wanted to post a warning. Apparently there is a bug in all the 680i series of motherboards that the data traveling along the Sata ports can start getting corrupted. This started happening to me so can confirm it. Seems most motherboard manufacturers have bios updates to fix this, so may want to check it out. Even if you are not experiencing the problem you may want to update since if it happens once it corrupts the data it can't be uncorrupted.

From what I recall, a review from tomshardware, hardocp or ars (I cant remember which) stated that all 680i chips had a design flaw that NVIDIA wouldn't own up to...

Thank goshness I have a p35 ;)

Not had an issue, but thanks for the update Mags.

No SLI support on P35

I do.  Reason why some of us go the nvidia route as opposed to the intel route.

I didn't say anything about anyone else ;) I was just happy I got a chipset that didn't have huge glaring bugs ;D
