Dumb question - speaker connection on EVGA 680i motherboard
Ok, really dumb question here everyone - where on the motherboard do I
connect the speakers from the cabinet? I've read through the manual - the diagram on page 11 doesn't show it, and the helpful section on page 26 doesn't show a picture and has the helpful text "The speaker connector is used to connect the chassis speakers to the motherboard" (duh). Thanks! Scott |

Thanks! Scott You don't. There are two methods for communicating "beeps" to the user. A retail motherboard normally has "SPKR" pins, for connecting the case speaker. In the case of OEM motherboards, they use a piezo buzzer located on the motherboard, as that reduces the time to wire up and build a computer (one less thing to connect, and the speaker doesn't have to be installed either). Item #21 in the picture of the board, shows a buzzer, so no case speaker is needed. The 680i board is an Nvidia reference board. It is shipped by four manufacturers. The manual appears to have been written by Nvidia. The manufacturers shipping the board, customize it by using a different cooler, and offering different accessories in the box. But otherwise, the motherboard itself should be the same, across the four manufacturers who are shipping that particular board. It is possible even the BIOS upgrades, come through Nvidia (maybe poking around in a downloaded BIOS update, would give some hints as to who wrote the BIOS). Apparently, Nvidia wanted to get SLI capable product into the hands of its customers, and by eliminating all the engineering work, it means more motherboard manufacturers can ship an SLI capable product.
