Ok ty

can anyone tell which bios is best for high BCLK @ classi 4-way SLI, I have i7 920 and I can't pass 222BCLK :(, when i had asus p6t SE i was able to get with same cpu 226BCLK, and now on evga i got stuck at 222BCLK :(

I have my system running stably at 4.475 MHz. (23 x 195) (LinX 100 runs withVcore at 1.38 volts and Max core temperatures at 74°C).
My memory timings are 7-8-7-20 and I have 6 GB Corsair dominator DDR3 ratings for speed of 1866 MHz presently running at 1945 MHz. Even with all tests LinX, memtest and prime showing no issues, am I risking my memory at these speeds and timing settings?
Appreciate any input.

okay i had error 89 @ Debug LED, which means "setup ACPI Tables", soo back to bios and i disabled ACPI, and now this error doesn't show up at boot...but now when is win booting it's freezing :( and i have no more idea what to do :(

do u think anybody here can convince sham
to have a ioh skew??

Guys quick question. Why does the EVGA E760 I/O shield plate come with some of the holes covered/plated? Do you just fold them back and forth until they snap off? I don't get why some of the holes are covered?? :confused:

had that with dfi also.
and think one of my r2e also.

i guess maybe not many ppl use those??
cause i didnt need those that were covered.

khmm...bug
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1199571

I thought that the flaps were for grounding purposes? I always bent my back far enough so that they contact the IO terminals to ground them against the case.

hey guys just got my 2nd 5870 and want to make sure im getting it right. I should put them in the first pci-e slot and the third slot correct?(the one after the PCI slot).

Also can anyone point me in the direction of a crossfire bridge that will be long enough? the one that came with the card is too short for this configuration.

How long of a bridge do you need? I might have one.

according to some of the forums they say 100mm or 10cm (asus and msi and xfx) seem to make them

http://www.lotes.cc/product_info.php?id=3046

There is the info for the one that I have.

that is longer than the one i have, mine is currently 60mm, does anyone know if 88mm is far enough to go from slot 1 to slot 3 for xfire?

From holding it up next to mine it looks like it will work. It came with a DFI mobo. I had Crossfire setup on it. Only choice I see for a 100mm is ebay.

willing to part it? we can talk over pm?

I turn that off on my other mobos anyway. Makes for a bit faster boot up.

I hate to give up so early, but I can't get past 144 BCLK on stock voltages, and after perusing this thread I am at a loss for what voltages to tweak... :(

e760 gskill trident 2000mhz cl9. Mem div at 2:10 so it's only at 720... err, 1440... using the xmp profile. turbo mode off. HT on.

for anyone who knows what they're doing and forgot what stock voltages are, :p:

http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/x...p/Untitled.png

And mem (no bios template right now sorry. I know I need that):

http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/x...Untitled-1.png

So yeah, haven't been able to put any effort into this for almost a year; I try to keep up on this thread but I didn't bookmark the relevant posts. Thanks for reading.

Cores are between 45 and 48 C. EK Classified Supreme.

Stock was at like, 78 for the vreg and 55+ for NB; that's when I stopped using it. I could wait for the blocks and the water...

so ure prb is getting 2k c9??
whats ure vcore for 4.2ghz
whats ure vtt for 1600mhz

then can tell u whats ure vtt
if its 0mv for 1600 then its around +150-200
if its 25mv then its around 225mv
etc etc

vcore stick to rounded numbers aka 1.2v, 1.25v,1.3v,1.35v for now

for 2k c9
the rtl's should be 62,64,66
mch strap 1600
pwm frequency is where a lot of ppl run issue with
not all their boards can run low pwm frequency
but typically should be good at stock up to 2090

if 200 bclk is hard
then ure proc is a dud dude.

this is what i faced testing 10-15 co/do's

13GHz :D bclk, 223.4 multi x59 :D:D:D

Yeah, I had a feeling it might be a trash proc, but, I haven't given up yet. I also haven't tried any of those other settings because I wasn't sure what to go with. I'll try what you suggested and post some more. Thanks!

SAE bro
confirmed its the new bios

with some adjustments
very close now to get 2150 stable.. 4.3ghz uncore
hmm theres a few bugs etc sorting out atm on perfect voltage and subtiming.
making sure they are all at the lowest so can gauge whats 2200mhz will be.. 4.4ghz uncore . although ive already seen a few hitch at this like running my vtt at 1.6v
1.55 daily me thinkest no problem.. 1.6.. eh.
all this with ht off. as ht on .. my cooling solution and ambient temps where i live 35c all year long doesnt help .

finally got my h20 setup and added fans to the board itself along with my singlestage, which bios is best these days for good overclocks?

The last one is fine.

so that would be Bios 64?

I just realized I should probably update my bios before I try any of this crazy stuff haha. It's been MONTHS...

Let's hope it helps...

Hi,

this is the first Bios since the best S61J for Nehalems that runs overall
succefull with my Xeon 3520@4.2GHz, Batch A704.

All other BIOS from S61J to 65 makes great troubles with my Mushkin Redlines
on 2:8 Divider on 6-7-6-18-72-1T Settings. Now it runs very stable at moment
on running OS with Prime running at 1600MHZ@6-7-6-18 at 1.65v.
It looks good.

I hope the S3-Usue are fixed too, but can't test it now.

edit:

Once again the Divider-problem:
If i set my memory to divider 2:8 to run @1600MHz on 6-7-6-18@1.64v, the Board are initialize only 4.0 from 6.0 Gig of Ram. But i can run 6GB on 2000MHz with 2:10 Divider on 8-8-8-24@1.65v. Hmm....?

My Ram:
Mushkin Redline xtreme Performance DDR3-12800, 6-7-6-18@1.65v Product-ID: 998691

Just ran the BETA Bios and what a disaster lol i couldnt even OC my rig at all, had to keep all defualt settings. Reflashed to latest BIOS and runs like a dream again.

Set ure RTL's
thats what the bios options is for.
and ure clocks are not that stable also.

that means ure settings werent right in the first place

the new bios no difference than the previous
the difference was just on mch strap 1866.

round trip latency
in ure mem

set it
dont let it fluctuate
this is the main reason why the classified bios is so great
its the only mobo that u can set the rtl's

Radio Télévision Luxembourg -> www.rtl.de ;)

j/k ... round trip latency - should be be set manually to optimize mem stability and throughput. They are being determined on an individual basis by the board/bios. You should check what values get set automatically. You can use CPU Tweaker from windows or you should be able to see them in the second column on your BIOS memory setup screen. Then work out optimal settings from there.

managed to get up to 2140 CL8.. HT off
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l...%20Rig/214.jpg

2150.. is a real pain atm.

also theres a difference on rev 12 vs rev 13 of classified
rev 13 fly's on stock mobo voltages as shown
will post full 12 hours 100 linx when i manage to do 2150.. also will lower the latency to CL7.

RTL's are set according to mem speed and latency? If so what do you think is the best setting for 1600 6-7-6-18-1T, to start with?

eh wrong
rtl is based on mem multi to uncore

example
1600 C6 uncore 3.2 rtl is 46,49,51..
1600 C6 uncore 4k is 53,56,58

Oh i see, those values you posted are standard values for the given uncore speed or should i play with them a little?

thats the tightest u can go for 1600 cl6
oops made a mistake 1600 cl6 uncore 4k rtl is 58/60/62
1600 cl5 uncore 4k is 53/57/58
1600 cl7 uncore 3.2k is 53/57/58
1600 cl7 uncore 4k is 64/66/68

all tested with sp32 m need some tweaking for full test

Is there some kind of formula to calculate these RTL values?

Edit: Auto values was 47/49/51. Changing to 46/49/51 as u suggested i had a small increase in Read a small decrease in Copy and Latency dropped from 44,1 to 43,9 according to everest.

Hey buddy,

great effort. :up:
I cannot test atm... will do later. Seems you are on BIOS 70b? Saw you post on evga forums.

What rev´s are you talking about? Those being shown in cpu-z mainboard tab? Does it possibly reflect NB revision?

try the uncore 4k rl 58/60/62

check out the increase..
u need to be sure of ure 4k uncore and minor other voltage adjustments needed.

I'm having trouble breaking 240bclk on my E760. Tried the latest BIOS, as well as some of the recommend BIOS for Bloomfield that others have mentioned in this thread.

I can run wPrime 1024M with HT on @ 238blck, but then 239bclk and the whole system freezes up. I tried lowering the CPU multi and still can't get over it. I know my RAM is not the limiting factor as I tried running it 2:6. I've tried a whole range of PCI clocks from 116-120. I've tried with HT off, no difference. Tried with different VTT all the way from 100-400. CPU PLL from 1.65-1.8v. Any voltage that is directly tied to bclk, that someone could suggest may help me get over 240?

Have a read through this, it will / should help.

http://www.overclock.net/intel-mothe...-voltages.html

You don't need high pci-e frequency, try 114mhz

CPU VTT would probably be around 1.52 V - try setting it to Auto at the rated memory timings / speed and measuring the voltage with a digital multimeter, the board has the voltage points on the right hand edge near the ram slots.

Make sure you set in BIOS the extreme cooling - I forgot the options off the top of my head. Level 1 or some :banana::banana::banana::banana: like that.

The only thing you have to really play around with is the CPU vcore and CPU VTT to get stability out of the board. Follow the recommendations in the link I posted for you.

Have fun, don't :banana::banana::banana::banana: it.

wPrime 1024m is a :banana::banana::banana::banana: of a bench to use. It will really test your systems stability... What is your max bclk for superpi?

according those guys in evga forum which i find the only thing usefull from them

in cpuz in mobo u can see the revision of ure nb chipset
which is denoted by rev 12 or 13
13 is the latest x58 board

Thanks for that link, will try some of those suggestions later today. Believe it or not, I could not get SuperPi to run at the same speed wPrime 1024M did...:rolleyes:

Does anyone know what the PLL ID is? I want to try using SetFSB instead of eLeet.

Ah, okay! Already considered this being chipset revision, but was not sure. Mine is rev12, of course (all E759 are).

Guys,

Was wondering if you could help me with my 759 and if I am getting max performance in how the cards are installed in their appropriate slots? So here goes. I have an X-Fi in slot 1, a 285GTX in slot 2 (16x), a 9800 GT (physx) in slot 3 (16x), and another 285GTX in slot 5 (16/8x). Should I swap the bottom 285 with the 9800GT and would it really matter?

Thanks.

I doubt that it will matter as the three top PCIe slots run at x16 on the 759.

I'm 25 run+ stable at this speed I just want to show off the everest vs eleet info.

Has anyone tested the Beta BIOS 70?

just noticed.. nice clocks but looks like bugged to me.

owikh do u mind redoing ure 217
cause its looked like faked with the eleet bug
that when u raise the pll software it slows down ure proc

ure glops went down.. is the first clue.
every 1 increase on bclk is normally a 0.2-0.3glops increase

also best way to show ure voltages are real is by setting higher than 20 runs
and taking on run 21 load

This 4.1GHz is faster than 4.2GHz 21x200. Using bios 64 and 12GB of ram. I tried for lower volts but it just locked up. nice temps on the XT WB. You can tell whenever I was browsing the web ;)

can someone help with the correct payload size for my hardware? and what is that use for.

Thanks

The TLP (Transaction Layer Packet) payload size determines the amount of data transmitted within each data packet to/from the Chipset (X58 IOH PCI-E Controller) and the PCI(-E) devices connected to it. Changing this allows all PCI Express devices connected to send larger amounts of data in each data Packet (TLP). This in theory should give you maximum efficiency per transfer and is more likely to allow max use of the Bandwidth available. However, this is subject to the PCI-E device connected to it. If that device only supports a maximum TLP payload size of 512 bytes, the motherboard chipset will communicate with it with a maximum Payload size of 512 bytes, even if you set it to 4096 in the BIOS.

In theory setting it to the max of 4096 should give the best overall efficiency and performance but there are very little returns performance wise to be had using a value above 512 (this atleast was the case with older motherboards and i am not sure why that would have changed as they are using the same protocols) and the X58 IOH Chipset only supports a max size of 256. You could set it to 4096 anyway and the system would automatically restrict it to 256 or you could just set it to 256. I use a value of 512 just incase i have misunderstood the X58 Payload size max limit.

it doesnt affect stability etc

i set it to 4096 max.
no diff

thanks guys.

Has anybody tried the Super Talent 2200C8 on this motherboard? Looks like there are really fast modules that come in 2x2gb packages. Eva2000 tested
on X58 in triple channel and reached some really good results. (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=253110)
If anybody have this combo and want to share some results would be great. Regards.

they are about the same as any 2k C8 elpida hypers.

Hi guys....:D

New BIOS 73 Updates:

* Added TRL setting to assist with memory compatibility while overclocking

http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=434998

I bet you guys know EVGA E-LETT good, but it is new to me and I have couple of question

How do you start multiple instance of it?
How accurate is the readings in Monitoring tab, the Vcore, VVT, DRAM etc.. ?
Does that OCing thing works?

I'm using it on a SR-2 tho, but it should be almost the same.

Why do you need multiple instances of it?

Just start multiple times CPUz I think eleet cant be started many times from 1 account. As to the voltage reading its the same like every other software(everest etc..). Just measure ur voltages with DMM and dont look at this. Its showing me VTT = 1.5v, I`m using VTT = 1.4v. DRAM its showing 1.72 and this is correct I have to say 1.65 set at BIOS but classified is overvolting so the real one is 1.72 measured but NB Core is 1.15 it`s showing 1.18. OC works good np I still cant make setfsb to work with classified and the only software I`m using for OC in Windows is eleet.

It shows temp for just 1 CPU at a time, an I have to select/switch to see the temp for each CPU.

Yes, I can open several CPU-z, but not E-LEET.

I'm wondering how accurate these E-LETT readings are compared to your DMM-readings? Specially the DRAM and VVT?

Yeah, SW-reading is not the best, but that's all I got for now. The DRAM is overshooting on SR2 too, the 1.61v BIOS-set ends up as 1.65v in W7, But the VVT is really weird, , it is increasing on CPU#1, 1.325v BIOS-set ends up as 1.33V in W7, but is decreasing on CPU#2 from 1.375v BIOS-set to 1.35v (all according to E-LEET). These variations are OK, as long as they are not too off from DMM-readings, then we can adjust accordingly, but I don't know how off from DMM-readings they really are on SR-2 .

Why don't you use Core Temp??

I'm using that too, but it is reporting ~3-4'C less at idle, and 4-5'C more at load compared to E-LEET. Reltemp is showing only 6-core and reporting different temp too. The temps av individual cores is not the same between these 3 either.

I guess the X56xx ES doesn't got the most accurate sensors, but I'm trying to get an idea of real load-temp, and have to switch E_LEET all the time, and it doesn't make this confusion any simpler. It is OK, I can live with that for now.

Why don't you use everest? it has support for the SR-2

is -118c about right for cold issues with 980x and 760?

Sorry For the Noob question.. Old PSU died it had 2 8 pin connectors. The new PSU has 1 and a 8 pin PCI-E connector I am not useing. Can it be used for the other 8 pin on the board?

no
you will kill the board

Thanks..

testing i7 950 @ air :)

what is the word on the latest bios that came out on 7/07?? is it any good compared to the s61J

For 980X^^

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to replicate some of my results on the Classified that I got on my Asus P6X58D, specifically my best clocks to date as seen here. I'm using the same CPU (switched back to the W3540), same memory and PSU. I wonder if there is some setting in the Classified BIOS I need to adjust as it is a lot more exhaustive than the Asus.

i'll be back on the classy next week n post a template
but so far i like 664 bios best

I'm using the 4-Way Classified (got it at a stupidly low price) but it should clock the same as the 3-way correct?

yes it should
you should be thinking or running higher than 4.0;)

This chip needs a lot of voltage and I'm on air so 4.2~4.3GHz is probably the max. I'm more interested in clocking all these Elpida Hyper kits over DDR3-2100 :cool:

i think you should aim for cas6 instead;)
but i will be playin with the 760 soon

i keep looking at this board for bloomfield to replace my not so great (as you already know) r3e. does it run that hot that it is a must to wc the board? i really have no desire to buy a block and change my setup to cool the board.

Just wanna get some crazy clocks like OnePageBook or 3oh6, but I'm guessing I just need a better CPU. Then again a chip that can do DDR3-2100 C8 HyperPi stable can't be too bad...
