SLI-selector, OMG manufacturers are really going retro! First the double-fan green PCB-monster and now this. Strange times we live, strange times..

with the exception of the ECS 650i which is hardwired at x8+x8 all 650i SLIs have a selector card - I guess it's nVidia trying to differentiate the cheaper 650i from the dearer 680i.

Anyway, another good review from Bit-tech.
Which BIOS did you use because there are certainly a few 500fsb on air reports on the forums using the latest?

1.1 on 13th Feb. I know our X6800 is better than our other CPUs, but I tried the E6300 and that did just as well. I honestly really couldn't work out what was wrong and I know I had not missed something. I tried really overvolting it, spectrum spread on/off and going over the limit to see if it was a FSB-hole. Nothing worked, so maybe it was our board and some batches do better than others, which is the way of the world unfortunately.
