Yay let's kill our D9's while using Penryn.
"To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."
I'd like to see some pics before I believe a random statement like that.

I thought Penryn needs didn't voltage regulation, so how is it suppose to support it without a motherboard revision?
Tell us more
Yay!!! Now if I could only get my C2D stable
Did you hear this on the grapevine or through your own testing (in which case you are probably bound by NDA which is why your statement was so vague).
Good news if so. However the 680i isnt that great at high FSB overclocking particularry with quad core. With the FSB bump of penryn i'm not sure it would be my board of choice anyway.

@I)ickie
most people with quads are asing QX CPUs but since E6600 with 9xmulti will be available for cheap very soon you'd want a decent FSB if you are an extreme clocker.....for 24/7 i don't think there will be many Q6600 CPUs running 3.6GHz lol
even QX CPUs are sorting averaging around 3.3-3.4GHz on 24/7 systems....due to the heat output....
but if you stick it under DICE or LN2 you'd probably be safer with P35 boards unless there will be another revision which supports even higher quad OCs....
How about P965?

Chipset support and actual board design is not the same. Remember BX rev 302 and earlier also were 975 but they didn't support Conroe without extra hard mods
...
I agree that with the current quad cores it's not so much a prob cause their default fsb is 1066 and as you say their heat output is limiting overclocks. Since the better 680i boards can usually muster around the 400fsb mark max most of the time with a multi locked CPU you will hit a CPU or cooling limit before board limit.
However the transition to 45nm of penryn will mean lower heat output and higher potential clocks. Taking this into consideration and the fact that penryn is reported to be 333fsb as opposed to 266 and you are hitting some serious limitations. max of 67fsb overclock unless you are using a QX.

I remember seeing on anandtech that a motherboard was modded in order to support penryn, but I cant remember if it was a 680i or not and unfortunately I cant find the article as of now. It is reasonable that it would work because the 680i boards support the higher FSB, but that may mean you are already pushing the boards and their overclocks will be hurt. I really wish I had a time machine because im still torn between getting a new pc now and throwing a penryn in later or waiting to get the new motherboards etc.
Usual suspects: i5-750 & H212+ | Biostar T5XE CFX-SLI | 4GB RAndoM | 4850 + AC S1 + 120@5V + modded stock for VRAM/VRM | Seasonic S12-600 | 7200.12 | P180 | U2311H & S2253BW | MX518

Laptops: Lifebook T4215 tablet, Vaio TX3XP

Penryn should still use the VRM11.0 spec, its first Nehalem that uses 11.1
So the only issue I can see should be something like missing 1333FSB support.
Crunching for Comrades and the Common good of the People.
yeah yeah....but the FSB limitations are still with the 680i...so how will you gain any benefit from a penryn using a 680i chipset?
maybe a 45nm quaddie will be a bit cooler i suppose.
anyway; it wouldn't surprise me if a penryn will function in a 680i board (hey i am hoping they will)...so please someone be a guinea pig and plonk a penryn in their 680i
i sure as hell arent going to fry a new yorkfield without some proof.
