It should be. It is listed as a Core 2 series CPU, which is supported by that board. Socket LGA775 is still kicking, so there isn't any real reason to switch away from it yet.

the worst you should face is a bios update hopefully.

I'm just saying whats on Intel and eVGA's website. Intel lists it as a Core 2 Extreme (some models anyways) and eVGA says the 680i SLI will take that as well as Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad. All of them are LGA775.

It depends on the motherboard, according to this article:http://news.softpedia.com/news/Nvidi...ion-72278.shtm, some motherboards don't have the required circuitry to work with the penryn processors, some motherboards have the required circuitry, and will work with the penryns after a bios update, other motherboards won't work with penryn period. The 680i chipset is supposed to support the new processors, but only with the required circuitry on the motherboard. You'll have to keep checking the bios updates to see if it will support the Penryn processors.

Didn't you check for compatibility before you ordered your parts?
