Naughty, naughty, Asus

Not to mention that ASUS told everybody that their Nvidia 6xx chipsets would support 45nm processors. Didn't quite mention that it required a BIOS update and a 65nm processor to do it.
 
The last few years their boards have been plagued with problems. I used to buy exclusively ASUS, but it's such a crap shoot these days.

that actually is not ASUS's fault, Intel changed the 45nm structure and the last minute restoring 6 series SLI motherboard to no longer support it ;)
 
IT is ASUS's fault, they declared it all over their website, without any retractions. Nearly caused my latest built to go down the toilet.

Lies! It was intels fault on changing the specs on yorksfield, I am pretty sure a 6 series SLI can support 45nm dual core, but not the quads because of intel. And Intels P5K series are one of the best P35 chipsets out there.

not true. i know tons of ppl with 45mm quads on a 680i
 
It DOES work on the 6xx series. But ASUS didn't have the frickin' bios out to support it. I had an inside lap at ASUS FTP server and managed to grab the latest BIOS after being directed there by some guys at the ASUS forums. That one SUPPORTED 45nm. It didn't come out for general release till a week or so later.
