Installing and Configuring the BFG NVIDIA nForce 680i LT SLI Motherboard

Before You Begin…

Parts NOT in the Kit

This kit contains all the hardware necessary to install and connect your new BFG NVIDIA® nForce® 680i LT SLI motherboard. However, it does not contain the following items that must be purchased separately to make the motherboard functional.

Intel® Socket 775 Processor:

Intel® Core2 Extreme (dual and quad core), Core2 Quad, Core2 Duo, Pentium® EE, Pentium® D, Pentium® 4, and Celeron® D Socket 775 processors

Cooling Fan for the Processor

System Memory:

Supports dual channel DDR2 533/667/800, and up to 800 MHz SLI-Ready Memory. Supports up to 8 GB/s DDR2 memory with a 64-bit operating system.

PCI Express® Graphics Card:

This motherboard is capable of using the NVIDIA SLITM technology. To utilize this technology requires two SLI-capable graphics cards of the same make and model, for example two of the BFG NVIDIA GeForce® 8800 GTX OCTM 768MB PCIe. When ordering a graphics card, be sure it is a PCI Express card. The kit does contain the SLI connector used to connect the two graphics cards. See Installing Graphics Cards in an SLI Configuration located on the CD in the .pdf entitled “Using the NVIDIA Software”.

PCI Express Compliant Power Supply:

The power supply requirement is dependent upon the power and the number of the GPUs you install. If you are going to SLI two graphics cards, you are going to require more power. As a rule, for one GPU you need a minimum of a 300W power supply. If you have two GPUs in an SLI configuration, you will need a minimum of a 500W power supply. To calculate the power you are going to require for your specific configuration, go to www.slizone.com.

These instructions tell you how to install each of the parts listed so you can have a functioning motherboard. As you go through the installation instructions, it is assumed that the necessary parts have been purchased.
