Hi All,

Just a quick one, I'm looking at getting one of the reference 680i boards, MSI, BFG, EVGA etc.. (absolutely hate my P5W DH Deluxe)... and can't wait for the DFI 680i....

At the moment the MSI is the cheapest but has the worst support etc, not even a product page yet! :)

Does anyone know if i could flash it with the EVGA bios, EVGA seem to be the most active with bug fixes, bios releases....

Also has anyone actually done it, i was hopin not to be the gunie pig ;)

Thanx in advance,

PoDd :)

Isaw this in another thread ,but can,t find it ,what they said was they are all 680 SLI boards ,just different makes ie MSI EVGA,BFI ASUS etc .. ;) so they will all use the same bios ,maybe someone can confirm this.
 
As said before you can flash any brand of the nVidia Reference Motherboard from BFG/EVGA/ECS/BIOSTAR with any of the BIOS from these brands, i know of two people who i personally know who have already done this.

BFG/EVGA/ECS/BIOSTAR are all nVidia Reference Motherboards only thing thats different is the packaging and warranties supplied by each brand.
