Big thanks to "Peter Tan" and "Classified"

[runmc]

Everyone know Shamino aka Lardarse aka Lardy aka Peter Tan :D and everyone who knows him - loves him. He has been a great friend to me and many other overclockers for several years. Lardy helps everyone and will go out of his way to give you a hand. Presently Lardy is working for Evga designing motherboards. Lardy's latest creation is the Classified. This is no doubt the best motherboard I ever touched and definitely the best board on the market. The Classified is in the upper price range of motherboards on the market, but it is worth every penny you will spend. Evga has the best support and best bios updates of any of the board makers ATM. Lardy is the main reason for this. Evga is lucky to have him. If your in the market for a motherboard and you want to do some serious overclocking, do yourself a favor and get a EVGA "Classified" Let's all give Peter a big hand :clap: He has done so much for many of you guys out there. thanks Lardy :up:
If EVGA can send me a good video card, I'll work on some 3DMarks :D

Awesome stuff Ron! Now you need 2 of the single PCB GTX295s. Killer 920 clocks, what will it do through 06 CPu test?

I agree!!!:up:

CLASSIFIED will be my next board!:p:

[before]

Excellent clocks mate. :)

[systemviper]

that is a sweet combo, love to see those action shots.

nice!

[Planet]

Nice runs Ron. I sent you a PM ;)

[3oh6]

good stuff Ron, but that looks like a perfectly good 9800GTX there...beat the livin snot out of it.
slap a pot on and put up some 3D :up:
i'll race you with a 9800GT? see who can put up the worst respectable scores :D

[gandalfone]

Impressive number!!

Mainboard 759 or 760?

[chispy]

Great clocks on a great board , congratz on that monster cpu-z shot Ron :up:.

[Movieman]

A little OT but relevant.
I like most of you have followed Peter's exploits over the years from the first time I heard of him in a video with a cascade that sounded like a F15 blowing thru the sound barrier 4 ft over your head. MAN was it loud!:D
Then I saw him here and although I had many questions I wanted to ask I didn't out of respect for his time.
I found myself with a problem I couldn't figure out and asked him for help but left him an "easy out" in case he was too busy to look into the problem.
What I found was a gentle soul that jumped in to help.
Very refreshing in this day of huge ego's to find a guy like this.
Hopefully one day I'll get to meet him and shake his hand.

[Hondacity]

excellent run on cpu-z ..grats

moar XS pts :)

[LardArse]

runny, you're my man of God and I love ya too... now how can I say no to you in future? :D

Excellent results, always love to see you bounce back with nice numbers! Sorry I couldn't give pi tweak tips cos I never got around to learning the pi art, never too late to start though :)

gomeler;3805491']Awesome stuff Ron! Now you need 2 of the single PCB GTX295s. Killer 920 clocks, what will it do through 06 CPu test? I don't remember exactly so I won't guess. I think I was able to run cpu test at 248-250 X 21 bclks I'll find out tonight for sure.


Nice runs Ron. I sent you a PM ;)
Thanks Jake:up:

You, Jody, and Raja are all willing to help and share. (Well most of the time.:hehe::hehe::sofa:) :yepp:

Thanks Lardy for helping me with the boards. Your the only person that ever did something like that for me in all these yrs. :D

[Raja@ASUS]

Nice BCLK Ron. I agree Peter is one of a kind, the best bencher out there in my opinion as he's the total package. Glad oyu got to this point man, and I think you'll be benching 3d near 250 in no time.


Later
Raja


PS, you're too nice a person for people not to help.. :)

[k|ngp|n]

Pete is the man and the classified is THE board. Nice stuff runny :up:

[runmc]

I stuck a little cold on my 9800gtx and might try some 06 runs. This thing cold bugs at -45C Jody so if I go to ln2 on the card, I got to find that sub z bios.

[HardCode]

I own the 760 Classified and after testing numerous X58 boards, I can say without a doubt that its the best board I've ever owned. I'm able to reach speeds on the Classified that I could only speculate about with other boards. The Classified is the reason I contacted runmc about building a custom single stage for me, it just begs for extreme cooling :)

Thanks for the Classified Peter, keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to your next project.

yeah my 9800GT cold bugs around -30C too...cheap on LN2 for me, it barely drinks any ;)

[fubarswe]

100% agree.., board is best ever and i am totally pleased! I thank Shamino, not just for board but also for answering questions :-) Take opportunity to also thank 3oh6, Andre, Kingpin also answering questions.. :-)

What kind of score are you looking to get? Mine is so low I think something big must be wrong. :(

Here you go Chris ;) I lost one of my sticks of HyperX a couple of nights ago so I'm running some Corsair at 10-10-10-21 :(

[3oh6]

What kind of score are you looking to get? Mine is so low I think something big must be wrong. :(
my first session hammering out clocks i was narrowing in on 20K in 06 at 5GHz flat with a single card, almost 35K in 05.

[AndreYang]

damn..BCLK 249 cpu test. I need this mobo for my W3540.:p:

[Raja@ASUS]

Maybe you now understand what I said to you in chat the other day Andre about 240+..lol No BS.

WHat I found Ron is if you jump up too much in BCLK per step the clock that is shown is not always fully engaged. When we ran 06 at 248+ we had a few runs with very low scores. I later found it was cos I was saving profiles and jumping BCLK up too fast. The trickiest thing to pass over 248 or so is all the GPU tests. ALthough you might find it somewhat easier @ CAS 10 with a lower BW GPU.

Raja

[bazx]

ron i see the meet went very well

and you are right about peter he is one of a kind

[PcCI2iminal]

WOW
congrats Ron :clap:

after that do you still need a Xeon?
:P

[Viss]

Great score Ron :yepp:

[over@locker886]

awesome bclk on 3d06! Congrats!

[dinos22]

Peter is a magician :yepp:

wherever he goes things turn to gold

Golden Goose maybe :D hahahahah

top work on the Classified clocking Ron

keep them honest Peter. EVGA reminds me of Brawn F1 Team for those that follow Formula 1 ;)

:up:

[Buckeye]

Very Nice Ron !!

I remember talking with you and you telling me about this run HAHAHA...

Bill I am at 5.3ghz, Run upload that score !!!! ok how do I do it ??
Don't give your self a heart attack getting to excited :)

I tried to catch up to you last night after not having any luck getting good RAM in the Bay Area. Had no luck and think my BIOS flash was bad, the Mode setting for cold would not show up at times, well only did 1 time. So reflash and try again today.

[Gautam]

Peter is the best this community has, period. Very nice clocks Ron. :up:

[vservera]

Veri nice clocks m8 ;)

[nikolas61]

good job

:clap:

[Oliver]

crazy runs Run , surely looks tasty huh :up:

Sham @ keep pushing it

[BenchZowner]

renames the thread to "A live tribute to the overclocking evangelist, Peter 'Shamino' Tan" :D

Nice stuff Ron :up:
I don't have to speak about Peter, everybody knows that he's good at this and that he's a very very respectable person.
I would like to add that he's a good person, friendly and always doing his best to help in any way, but you already did say that :D

Gotta get out of "the shack" soon.
I'm leaving this thread drooling...

Peter has created another little gem with this Moainboard, nice work evga man :D:D

[Buckeye]

Thanks again Peter for such a great board.
& Ron for your help on this !

This board just starts flying when things are zero'd in and nice and tight. My heart was racing like a mad man when this run finished and it still has a bit more I think... gah need more LN2

Booting in at -110c and screaming :eek:

Here are the bios settings I used to hit 253 bclk. Lardy suggested Setting 2 way / 1 way memory settings may help a bit more on BCL maybe, and looser RTL such as 78/80/82.

I hope this will help someone a little. :D


Yea, it'll help me get jealous!
I'd like a bios like that on my dualie..:shakes:

[dpa]

how much of an impact is the qpi link freq..? I see you guys are running 3000Mhz, the "usual" is 4000Mhz++ any performancehit?

totally insane bclk.. I want that :D

[G H Z]

Crazy bclk thru '06, good work Ron!

One look at all the Classified threads around here says it, well done Shamino & EVGA :clap:

[runmc]

my first session hammering out clocks i was narrowing in on 20K in 06 at 5GHz flat with a single card, almost 35K in 05.

I will try and post up some 06 runs this weekend Jody. I thought that may card or drivers were crapped out because my 3D scores were so back. It turned out it was because I still had QPI fast link disabled. :wierd: Thanks again and again Lardy. :yepp:

[ZoLKoRn]

Amazing Bclk with cpu tests, look like i'll finding one "Classified" now :D

Nice runs runmc :up:

[runmc]

Quick early morning runs on ln2 on cpu and single stage @-35c on 9800gtx @ 900/1200

yup, definitely looking good. guess i am going to have to have another session with that 9800GT, gotta get 20K. this is what i have thus far in 06...

http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image/3oh6/mushkin/998692/xocss-4.png

i don't know why, but my SM3 scores are horrible. even compared to the other 9800GTs on the Bot. i am obviously missing a tweak or something i guess. any chance the 1GB vMemory hinders SM3 performance?

[gandalfone]

Runmc thx fir share bios setting;)

[WaterFlex]

Lol, little vga and high scores :up:

[shansmi]

I agree 100%! Peter and EVGA out did themselves on this board. My rig is not as eXtreme as many in this thread proving the point but it is still the best board I have ever owned.

[runmc]

I got my 9800GTX all decked out for "Saturday Night Live" benching and I'm out of LN2.:cussing::cussing: Now I have to wait until Monday Night Live

http://www.teampuss.com/runmc/EVGA/gpu-cpu%20pots001.JPG

[Gautam]

You're doing awesome Ron, but I do pity you for using the 9800GTX, one of the least extreme cooling friendly cards ever. :( :down: Don't think I've ever been as frustrated with a card under LN2 as with that one.

I know what you mean - COLD BUG at -45C for me :yepp: - Peter is suppose to be making me a modded bios for the card :D

A single stage I have will keep the card at -35c which is just under the bug. I took it off to try this pot out.

Bill - I don't have that much gas in my truck :shakes:

[road-runner]

Thanks Peter and EVGA, best motherboard I have owned to date...

RAM won't make much difference in 3D man

[rbuass]

Nice scores....
Very good

[Buckeye]

RAM won't make much difference in 3D man

Yes Dinos. Saddly I do not have GPU's besides a 260gtx and 280gtx so I usually only run CPU benches.

[Kal-EL]

Almost all the cool guys have posted in this thread which is..........pretty cool actually. Peter's the coolest so far tho, he even took time and helped learn this noob a thing or two over on the Evga forums.
