Can anyone tell me if this board supports 45nm? I've googled it and seen yes and no answers...

GA-N680SLI-DQ6 (Rev. 2.0)

Please help

Looked in manual and offical website, no answers.

I dont see a E7200 anywhere on that list but maybe it would support it cause its 1066FSB. I would contact Gigabyte to see if it would.

The thing is I've seen people saying that are running a e7200 on this board...I just don't get it though.

I don't think fsb has much to do w/ it, its a core thing probably. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. :(

Get this board and the E7200

I KNOW there is someone on these forums that has his E6000 something at 3ghz+ I forgot tho. Save up for a nice P35 board after that or get a P35 with it.

The first CPU listed on this compatibility page is a 45nm, so I'd say YES.

Awesome :cool: It's priced very well, seems like it could be an easy entry into the world of 45nm :)

Mine supported my E7200 out of the box so I was VERY happy about that. Another cool thing is the orange stuff and the orange cables it comes with glow in the dark.

Yes but the problem is this board is discontinued. Therefore even if it did support them, I wouldn't know from them.
