I found it is the Uncore giving me the trouble I ran the classified on a lower Uncore and I can pass Linx without a problem, I was running these settings when I had the problem:
Mother Board ( EVGA X58 Classified E-760 )
Drivers ( )
Bios ( S61B )
CPU ( Core i7 920 D0 )

Okay those are my settings I was having trouble with, now when I just change the memory multiplier to 2:8 so they run at 1600Mhz, and the Uncore from x20 to x18, so I am running a 2:9 memory-uncore divider, I have NO problem at all being stable, it is just when I want to go for an Uncore of 4000mhz and a memory speed of 2000mhz, I dont know why.

I usually leave Uncore at "Auto".....unless benchmarking. If you are going to drop the memory divider, I'd recommend reducing the CPU VTT....+300 is a bit high

Yah I did drop the Vtt when I dropped the memory and uncore down, now it is at 200 or 175 something close. I will fool with it some more tonight before I crash

I try to keep the VTT at +75 -100, that keeps it around 1.36-1.38V, which is the max recommended.

been having problems with my core i7 oc.
Case is 800d which isn't great for airflow
CPU cooler is TRUE Black Rev C. with North/South Push/Pull config
My temps at 3.3ghz 1.3 vcore are in mid 50's on all cores at idle
Should I update BIOS? not sure which version I have but just got computer yesturday)

use realtemp or Core temp for checking your core temps when running idle and load, I have had bad luck with E-leet for voltage read outs and temps, realtemp you can dl here or at techpowerup.com, and coretemp, google it.

+75 - +100mV Vtt =! 1.36 - 1.38V

Classified's readings are bogus... +75mV is about 1.25 - 1.275V real. You have to USE the voltage readings from the pads to check. DMM is a must for serious overclockers today (and was in the past as well).

temps in realtemp are low 50s

You wanted someone with real stability - here I am ;)

More than 16h of Prime 64Bit using 5.5GB of RAM. It's rocksolid. Never seen a DFI doing that, mate! :D :up:

uve must have posted this when i was away on tour..

nice..

already sold on the classy. .

Not as well as Classified obviously... But good to get semi-decent results I guess.

Hello everybody.
I'm about to buy Classified 760 mobo. What slots should I use to run 2 way SLI with 2x GTX 275?
I want both slots to run at x16.
Is it 1 and 3, or 1 and 2. I will leave remaining two slots empty.
Thanks.

All 3 of those slots will run x16 so it doesn't matter which ones you use. I used 1 and 2 for my setup just for the ease of setting up my water cooling.

Are you sure? According to mobo's manual only slots 1 and 3 can run at full x16 speed provided that slot number 2 remains empty.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong. Again, i'm talking about Classified 760 mobo.

Hehe... no problem mate. :up:

I wondered why you did not react back then. Since you 've been asking for stability proof for quite some time before. :D

I tried to put my single 285 at the 2nd slot and it was running at 8x, didnt tried the 3rd and 4th because the PSU is too close (case CM 690 and battle axe video cooling). I cant believe that using first and second slot about SLI will be 2x16x when only single card at 2nd slot is running at 8x.

Thank you, that's exactly what i wanted to know.

Maybe on yours....

Full of yourself much?

Pull the side off your case, and see what kind of affect that has on the temps. If they dont drop a lot, then I'd consider reseating the HSF.

Why would you say that? He's absolutely right with that statement, and I don't see how that makes him full of himself?

The readings are off, but not terribly. They are a good guide for someone who doesnt have a multimeter (As in keeping the guys hardware safe). If the guy doesnt have a multimeter, then telling him to keep it within the guidelines based on what he has available is simply sound advice.

Mine, ELEET says 1.3V, actual (DMM) is 1.33V.

Crap, so that means I'm running my SLI setup @x8? Here's a screenie of GPU-Z.

Yeah if you are using the second slot it ll be 8x exactly what GPUz is showing. It seems that you have to move the 2nd card to the 3th slot and you ll be running at 2x16x.

Heres the thing, if you have the E760, you can use the 1 &3 slots for x16, but if you use any slot besides the PCI-E x1 slot, its going to be x8, because the E-760 doesnt have the NF200. A lot of people were disappointed after buying the E760 when they tried to plug in a sound card, or RAID controller and couldnt figure out why they were running x8 in SLI.

My memory configuration also : 2000-8-9-8 & Uncore 4000 with Vtt +200.

You should check wheter your memory can run 2000-8-9-8.
Cause when as you said, it's running 1600 fine.
Also your memory spec is 2000C9.

All Classifieds I know of would mostly undervolt VTT, some exceptions will get you what's been set in BIOS. All reports of too high vtt I've been reading were from people relying on BIOS readings (Eleet)...

My board was always showing about 0.1V too high vtt. 1.35V set resulted in 1.324V under load and idle - eleet reading 1.43V!

That's the case with all the classifieds friends and fellow ocers are/were owning. Some of the 760 I know of were at least getting you the set voltage for DMM readouts.

You really might have an EXCEPTION board here, as the classified has been out for quite some months now and I never saw any reports about too high vtt DMM readouts anywhere on the web.
