flashing bios might help,had similar problem on re2 ;)
Anyone know if/when EVGA will put the X58A chipset on a Classified? I'm looking to buy one for Christmas but I'll hold of if USB 3.0 and SATA3 are right around the corner.
There is no X58A chipset. Those are added using additional chips.

I'm thinking about buying this board, as I sold my Q9650 setup and I just got a Core i7 950 on eBay at a cheap price. Is there any cons about this board I should know about?
My specs would be like this if I got this board:
Core i7 950 at 3.06Ghz
EVGA x58 Classified
12GB G.Skill 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM
2GB Sapphire 4870x2 ATI Radeon
32" LG HDTV at 1920x1080 1080p
1000 watt Antec Quattro PSU
And is it worth it to pay the price premium for this board?
coming from one 760,two r2e's, two dk's and one ut.Quote:

I already have a 4870x2 and I plan to continue to use that. I'll wait and see for a worthy upgrade from both NVIDIA and ATI, though I may skip this generation because my 4870x2 is plenty enough for me.
I later got 1057 7-8-7-20 with tighter subs and b2b cas=4 (with the newer cpu tweaker beta) primestable for 6h or so... (did not test longer as it's been during summer and 34°C... I have not been running my rig for about 8 weeks now as I sold my big rad while waiting for my ordered single stages. Being quite busy the last weeks I was not able to even think of testing anyway (though I miss it).Quote:

this also affects vcore scaling
guess this is the reason p55 can clock the ram high
to proove this i bet u can run 2.1 7-7-7-20 at 1.71v with no tweaks
also retestes the dmm on my board
my ut sg reading was accurate
my evga set voltage = ut sg read
Posted this over on EVGA forums as well...
...my E759 Classified board is done for...restarted the system this morning and could not boot any more. It does not want to detect any USB devices any more and just hangs at either 75 (HDD detect, rarely) or 7f (CMOS error, common). Nothing restores it. I tested every single piece of hardware by replacing with spare components, including the CPU with the same results. Resetting the BIOS does nothing, removing power and battery for a while does nothing...nothing works period. It always appears to go through the boot cycle then just hangs at post code 75 or 7f. USB devices never come on. They are powered, but not usable (i.e., not detected).
I wonder if this is the same problem that some have experienced starting with S225 BIOS? Scary to think about...what if the replacement board goes down the drain too after updating BIOS if that is in fact the culprit...
Thoughts? Anything I missed?
bios chip isnt making contact with all pins as it should. someone posted a fix on this issue a while back. i think they soldered it directly to the board.
now im not telling you to do that but you can most certainly double check that the bios chip is seated properly.
You mean it's all about the vtt-vdimm relation? I noticed the cpu needed too much of an increase of vtt voltage going from 2000 (1.35V set, 1.324V DMM read) to 2100MHz RAM (1.475V set, 1.46V DMM). This would limit stability strongly to about 2100 without subzero cooling. IMHO subzero could be the solution here. Will know soon.Quote:

yup mine go to the points where I had the end of a golf putter putting pressure on the chip to boot. But had to rma as reseating didnt help.Quote:

seriously this board is damn easy to figure out
few bugs i found out on the bios however for A7 error.
not surprised at it cause of evga being innovative on certain IMC tweaks that are non-standard.
only happens if u manually set it instead of auto.
Yeah, just did like 2 days ago. Luckily there was no warping this time but there is definitely fingerprints and what not all over the back of the board. I fired it up and it runs fine, still haven't tried OC'ing with it yet though.Quote:

I have to say that this is the single biggest disappointment since I started building computers and overclocking 13 years ago. The board did not even last 1 year. So much for paying top dollar for top product.
Very unhappy :(
When I try to boot my 950 @ 225 BCLK it hangs just when it's supposed to show the JMicron SATA/PATA stuff... do I just want too much or...
When I'm in Windows I can not OC the BCLK above 221 without the system hanging...
I'm on water, Heatkiller 3.0, PA120.4 and XSPC RX240 so cpu temps are fine, and the board has stock cooling but with an Antec Big Boy 200mm fan blowing on it with both side panels off...
Anyone else able to boot up with BCLK 225 or above with air/water?
I've tried S61A and S61B... kind of lost at the moment, could be a setting I overlooked though...
You need high PCI-Express frequency, and also cold most likely.
If you are trying with high multi and 8 cores may be this is the problem. My limit is also arround 225bclk when i`m using 21 multi and 4 cores with HT enabled. When I disable 2 of the cores I am able to boot 21x230, also 12x240.Quote:

I wouldn't mind bumping it up in Windows since I don't need to run more than 220 BCLK anyway for 24/7, just for benching now and then, but since it hangs at 221 I'm not happy yet about it...
I don't think watercooling the NB would help a lot here, right?
I`m not cooling the NB its even without fan. The only thing i`m cooling is the digital PWM, but there is no big diffrence whether i`m at 5 ambient or 25 ambient the max bclk (~240 with 2 cores is always there) with 8 cores sometimes booting at 220, sometimes at 225(with 8 cores I`m always using 21 multi, never tried lower) but its because the CPU is cooler not the board, and yes i can reach more using eleet but when i run multithread bench it freezes or reboots which is normal when i cant even boot in windows successfully :).
With bios S61A & B booting over 220mhz shouldnt be a problem anymore (before it was). PCI-E at 105~110 and CPU Impedance at "Less" should do the trick.
Can anyone test something that I've witnessed with LinX thats quite interesting.
I'm stable at +100mv VTT in LinX. the GFLOPS is 45.
If I go to +125mv VTT, my GFLOPS increases to 49.
If I goto +150mv VTT, gflops goes to 52.
So I'm getting better floating point calculation by giving the VTT more voltage, even though for stability, I don't need it. It looks like it scales its performance based on VTT voltage.
I'm curious if anyone else is seeing the same things and if they see the performance transfer anywhere else?
hmm interesting... is yours the 759 or the 760? (I guess it shouldn't matter right?)Quote:

240bclk on 4 cores HT enabled ?Quote:

240 2 cores HT disabled :). Never tried 4 cores + HT with lower multi, but I guess my max will be arrond 230 I can try sometimes. Voltages 1.57VTT and PCIe 115, Vcore is not important, because I`m using 12x multi, with 21 and 2 cores I`m able to boot 230, no cooling for more.Quote:

Fellas, great thread. I have found linx stability with 4.2ghz / 12gb mem and great temps (water). My only questionable setting is cpu vtt/uncore at 1.43v DMM read. vDIMM is at 1.645v DMM read.
All other volts and temps are low.
Can anyone confirm or deny that 1.43v cpu vtt is fine for 24/7? If there are mixed feelings can someone direct me to some hard data besides the intel spec?
Tx again for the thread and replies.
Just a word of caution guys re: EK full cover block...
I have managed to resolve my problem and it turns out that the board was just fine but it was in fact the EK full cover block for the Classified that was causing the problem. Based on the instructions no spacers are provided or needed around the SB which based on my findings now is incorrect. Not putting spacers around the SB can cause minor flexing of the board when you tighten the screws which can in turn cause contact problems and all sorts of no post scenarios that look like a genuine problem with the board. I found out that tightening the SB screws even 1/10 of a turn too much to cause very small board flexing can cause quite big problems that may or may not exhibit right away. In my scenario, it took over 4 months before my problem showed up but was remedied by simply moving the spacers intended for the NF200 area to the SB screws. In any case, be careful when tightening and generally do try to put spacers around the SB more than the NF200 area or in case of the non-NF200 versions of Classified board the narrow channel between the NB and SB.
Sorry for double post, I did not want to mix the previous post with this one...Quote:

Thanks man, I had read that 1.6v is abs max, so that's great that you have real exp with it at 1.5v for a year.
Also, I have the EK full cover block not yet installed and will be aware of what you said about the standoffs.
That's the beauty of these threads it's like the ultimate live support.
Tx guys!
Interesting finds. If VVT is affecting the performance in the way you are discovering, then it is really bad news for my W3520. It runs stable with VVT=1.21/1.26v(BIOS/Load) at almost any x8 RAM speed and x18 Uncore.Quote:

I get the same on my rig as well. I also got the same results on the DFI UT x58.Quote:
Originally Posted by Bojamijams

So as far as i'm concerned, the lower the VTT the better. I remember reading a post on another forum where the OP was claiming 60+ GFLOPS at 4.2ghz. I found that odd, as my 24/7 clock is 4.3ghz and in Linx i get 58 GLOPS. I then realized he had done it by running VTT at 1.5v+. God knows what his cpu temps were running VTT that high for only 4.2ghz :eek:
I killed the 2nd Ram channel of a 940 C0 after 3 weeks 24/7 crunching at 1,53V VTT - on phase change :p:Quote:

Well, I do not really agree, but that's my opinion. I like to run really high Uncore (don't ask why, it's more for :banana::banana::banana::banana:s and giggles, not any particular reason) and I ran my VTT ~1.5V for a very, very long time on several chips. I did not have any problems. I think that it is a toss up and it will vary chip to chip, hence why I said YMMV. My opinion does not change though...from my experience high VTT is okay.Quote:

Well what's there to agree, I just stated a fact (being that I had a CPU die on me due to high VTT). Like you said, some can handle it some can't. 1,5V VTT is definitely not a safe voltage for every chip, which is what you made it sound like. ;)Quote:

It could be that you just happen to have one chip that has a weaker IMC. So far I had 3 long-term chips that all comfortably did 1.5V+ on VTT without issues. If you want to be truly safe, then you are left with no choice but to stay within Intel's specs which also means 1333MHz DRAM max. I also never actually said that high VTT is perfectly safe. I made sure to use the word "fine" and add in "YMMV". :) Anyway...Quote:

oh, not just that, the ommitting the spacers can break the digital mosfets too, i've seen many boards with crushed mosfets and i know what was being done to these boards.Quote:

You got lucky by fluke. Eddy does not include spacers for SB and the instructions do not require you to put any. He does not include them exactly because of that reason - it is hard to fit the spacers around the SB. However, if you shave off 1/4mm off one of the spacers you can fit it around the SB no problem. He knows now so he will probably be including a full set with all future blocks. I tried not to over-tighten as well originally, but like I said even the smallest turn-too-much would result in problems. Spacers for every screw are absolutely necessary to guarantee long-term trouble free installation.Quote:

cant imagine if we had to use another 4.
Yep, standoff == spacer. 8 are included, but really 10-12 should be to cover the SB as well, and potentially the are with a few small chips just below the VRM. I actually found that mounting them is very easy. I do it by placing the board partially off the table and using some heavy book on one corner of the board to make sure it does not fall or move once the block is in place. Spacers just get arranged where they need to be prior to placing the block (of course :p:) followed by carefully lowering the block onto the board and then screwing in the screws slowly from below. All the holes should be visible as the motherboard is mostly hanging off the table :DQuote:

I had 12 spacers included... still have 3 spare ones. Mounted 4 at main pwm area, 2 at the NB, 2 at NF200 and 1 at the SB.
You're probably the only one lol :p: Normally there are only 8 included and required by the instructions. Anyway, Eddy knows about it now.Quote:

Then I carefully lifted the whole sandwich vertical and screwed in the screws. Voila, all spacers and screws in place and no messed up tim or dropped screws.

even a gskill trident with bbse chipset aint that expensive
seriously get some
and then u know what dram clocking is.
a lot of ppl seriously dont realize how good SAE clocks are and how good the bios for the classifieds are
everything i ever wanted the dfi to have the EVGA team has done it. except hmm tRC....
everybody assuming if they get those rams they can run 2100mhz stable at 4.4ghz.
this assumption should be noted as mother of all :banana::banana::banana::banana:ups
his clocks are so good with that stability that
it just makes the rest of the clocks on this thread look pure noobie rubbish.
Haha, no worries ;) Just messing with you :p:Quote:

And that VR zone crap about E759 being slow? Not an f-in chance. I did a clock for clock comparison to their tests myself and pretty much beat or matched every bench they did. I don't believe it for a second. Only thing I will believe is that NF200 may introduce some latency in graphics benches, and one thing that I will say for certain is that the Classified requires serious tweaking before it will perform, unlike other boards out there that do mostly perform out of the box. Down side for other boards though is that they just do not lend to customizing and overclocking like the Classified does. My $0.02 ;)
thats the assumption ive been talking about
clocked a 790 2000mhz cl8 4gb
x48 re 554fsb 1800mhz cl8 4gb
x58 2100 mhz cl7
x48 ddr2 1200mhz 4x1gb cl5 trd7
p45 ddr2 1200mhz 4x1gb cl5 trd 8
prime 24 stable and for 775 it pass 4096 prime for four hours
they all were different and assumption of past experience
helps future experience is utter bs
anyways SAE
still getting inconsistency for my 2100
also dejan what tweaking??
so little compare to alot of the 775 board
but coming from a few x58 board
i love classy bios
im running the evga sli le board and its a dream to work with :)
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l...g/Untitled.png
initial test ...
evga set 1.64v
bios read 1.67v
dmm read 1.6502v
SAE hmm i am not sure but might be a fluke
4 boards... same proc.. DMM read is always the same... for set DRAM Voltage.
Well, you can't expect the same tweaking options with an IMC as you had with an external memory controller. From an engineering perspective there are a lot more limitations that get imposed when you design an IMC vs. external memory controller. That said, tweaking DRAM timings clears up pretty much all of the supposed "bottleneck" or "slowness" or however you want to call it that the weak VR-Zone review goes on and on about. Quite literally when I read that article way back it took me 2 minutes to adjust the BIOS to best their "better" boards. Classified a slow board? Sorry, I'm not buying it.Quote:

not going to go for 12 ..
going for 4.4ghz now.
4.4ghz HT on 2100mhz CL7.. is the aim..
I got the Eddy Classified Block .... it came w/ 9 standoffs ... only used 8 on marked places ... hope it will be ok.
Funny thing about the EK block the voltage part of the block was assembled backwards ... Thank God i caught it ... can see someone new to WC'ing trying to force it over the area. No worries though took 5 min to change it around.
I'd really suggest you use the standoffs around the SB. My problems did not show up for 4-5 months. The standoffs are not needed around the NF200, if you even have one.Quote:

In terms of your other observation of required VTT to run DRAM of certain speed...that's driven by Uncore. Generally to run ~4GHz Uncore you will need about +200mV - +225mV. To run 4.2GHz Uncore you will need about +275mV - +325mV, and finally to run 4.3GHz Uncore you will need ~+375mV and so on. Basically, past about 4GHz scaling on Uncore is 0.125V per every 200MHz on most chips. That's your rule for running DRAM as well. If you can scale the Uncore you will scale your DRAM too. Your DRAM timings of course will depend on the quality of your ICs. Feel free to disagree with me, but do justify it if you do disagree. I would love to get an alternative perspective. As it is right now, I don't see what the big deal is about pushing DRAM high...granted it makes the overclocks harder because you got to push both the cores and "uncore", but that's it :shrug: SAE can do better with this chip because he has more multipliers open to him. For you or me or anyone with a 920 we need to push the DRAM higher the higher we push the BCLK. We do not have an option to run Uncore at 4GHz and DRAM at 2GHz with 4.6GHz overclocks...
I think you're over-engineering this problem...but like I said earlier I invite you to challenge this interpretation...my $0.02.
Hi everyone! :)
I am considering a new PSU for my Classified. I need one to get both of 8 pin motherboard connectors covered.
What can you suggest? I'd love something 80+ certified, and I don't need too much power, 850-1000W would be optimal.
I'd also like to avoid PSU problems, I know that Enermax is having compatibility issues, maybe some other units, and I'd like to avoid that.
I had a look at Corsair PSUs so far. HX1000 looks fine. However, HW850 looks even better, it's cheaper and single rail. However, it has only 1x 8 pin cable for the motherboard. What else can you suggest?
And (noob question inc) 8 pin (6+2 for that matter) PCI-Express cables would not work with 8 pin motherboard connectors, would they?
Thanks in advance. :up:
Edit: modular is a must! :yepp:
HX1000 if you want it now...otherwise, I'd wait for this one...http://kingpincooling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249Quote:

Just got my 759 installed and stable at 4200mhz with a 920. I'm trying for 205-210 blclk with no luck. I need help! 200 was stable past 13hours small fft, 20 passes of linpak. HT is off.Everest is showing my NB temps at about 55c under full load. It sometimes shoots to 85-90c for about 3-5 seconds then drops back to 55ish. this is an intermittent spike. Is it really getting that hot, for such a short time? I notice it when running small fft. I have a small fan on NB heatsync and replaced the stock TIM with arctic ceramiq. It idles at 29-30c. Is everest correct? I didnt see the temps for NB in eleet. So far 6 hours of tweaking = 13hours of stability at 4200. I must have more! I know its possible for my cpu to be at its limit already, but assuming it isnt, what settings do you suggest i play with? Thanks for the help. Oh and i need to updaye my sig. untill then i have classified 759, 6gb gskill perfect storm ddr3 2000, thermaltake 1000w PSU, GTX295, 920cpu, and TRUE Push Pull.

Also i cant get this board to even post when the memory is set at 2000. Any ideas? It also wont post in the black mem slots.Quote:

Also, although you may have another issue, you probably need to raise CPU Vtt to get DDR3-2000 MHz, although how much you need here is really dependent on your CPU's IMC. You may find you require 1.45 - 1.55v Vtt.
my friend what program is this to see tempratures+Quote:

I am in your same shoes. Learnin new stuff everyday. i want 4.4 also, but i'm only a day into lga1366/X58, its all a little new right now. Cant wait for my 950!Quote:

think u didnt get what i was sayingQuote:

how did i test.. running core temp 3.0,3.3 and noticing the bclk.
I got what you are saying but no I personally did not notice it. I am not sure how you are determining that from simply looking at CoreTemp. I do know though that CoreTemp does not report any errors in the Event Viewer, i.e., there are no errors stating that the HPET failed to load or w/e. In fact, there are no HPET associated errors or warnings reported anywhere from any application. How did you notice this exactly? Also, what is the issue with it in your opinion? Finally, are you talking about RealTemp since CoreTemp latest version is 0.99.x something?Quote:

u want to know howQuote:

no its not the 0.5.. thats just software reading of the clock generator.
dude u dont get HPET errors on x58 clocking .
this i cannot explain to until u use more boards.
dont make another assumption on this
just take my word for this.. its disabled by default.
I'm not arguing with you...I think you misunderstood me...Quote:

I'm asking you to explain it to me, not saying that I do not believe you...
sorry tiredQuote:

its disabled.
the 0.5bclk is just software reading. nothing else.
also is it just me
or the 61D sux. rtl issue, qpi compensation issue,
and the best is 61B
Hmm...I'm not getting your explanation. Can you elaborate? What is the downside of not having HPET enabled/available? And how do you use those tools to determine that HPET is not available?Quote:

I really don't know. I have the E759 so the BIOS is somewhat different. I'm pretty happy with the latest S227 BIOS though I don't use QPI compensation on anything but Auto...what is the RTL issue and QPI compensation issue you are talking about? I want to test it on the E759 to see if it has the same problem but I need to know what the problem is first.Quote:

on the software issue. with the hpet on .. u dont get influenced by software.
example if i want to cheat 1 bclk all i need is just to run evga precision+ imon. and my reading will jump. this is for cpu tweaker and coretemp.
cpuz and eleet no affected.
the rtl u need to test 2k C7 and 2050 C7 for 53,55,57 and 54,56,58
both are not doable on S61D.
initial test 2100 7-8-7-21 1N
vdimm set 1.68 eleet read 1.72v DMM read 1.6798 (load)
vtt set 1.5v eleet read 1.6v dmm read 1.501 (load)

That is BEE U TI FUL!!! Any chance for a little more uncore?
Not for 24/7 without subzero... believe me, for full stability there's no way to get more than 4.2-4.25GHz UC primestable with watercooling. Chiller may be an option without high humidity. But for benching, in case you do not fear high vdimm (you'd have to raise to get the right vtt-vdimm ratio) you can go some higher.
What about the Z Series at OCZ ? I didn't find many reviews on it, but it looks good (and 80+ Gold :))Quote:

Antec 1200W PSU wasn't available, and I was too lazy to check anything else.
