just chiming in
I'm wrapping up a HAF932 build with a D0 stepping i7-920, Corsair HX1000 power supply, Mushkin DDR3 1600 RAM, WD 300GB VelociRaptor drives, etc.
I held off on the mobo until the last minute because I'm on the proverbial fence between the ASUS Rampage II Extreme X58 and the EVGA 3X SLI Classified.
I will be using a Prolimatech Mega Shadow CPU cooler, so that alone may make the Rampage II the board of choice for me since I have seen reports the similar Megahelems is a very tight fit at best on the Classified.
I don't currently do competitive overclocking, but am a hard core gamer / Flight Simulator X guy and will want to run my D0 at a stout overclock. I will eventually be running either twin ATI 5870 or EVGA GT380 GPU's in SLI. Need to see how the next several months play out on the video front.
All of my prior builds have used ASUS mobos, so I know how to flash the BIOS for the Rampage II every which way but loose.
Pardon the "noob to EVGA mobo" question, but what's the best = most convenient way to flash the BIOS on the Classified? Looks like the latest BIOS for the Classified is a pure winner and upgrading to it is not optional.
Thanks, gang! :up:
this is how i did it earlier today http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=671353
just have your ups up and running....
I also love the new bootup bclk with this new bios. 235+ no problems :up:
Just ordered a classified myself, hoping for some Gulftown BCLK lovin :D
Can't wait to see the max stable BCLK on this beautyful motherboard.
@jcool
where did you order the CF?
Wave... they are hopefully gonna get a few in today or tomorrow. That's what my sales rep said anyway...
wave... not for me :(
I can PM you when I get a definite info on available boards.
yes. please :)
many thanks :D

i use multiplier x16 for uncore
somethings up with my classified 760.
im getting really odd numbers
i dont quite know how this happened
http://img.techpowerup.org/090924/IMG_0040.jpg
my classified completly shutdown after every windows reboot and after a bios visit (without change settings)
i think it is my PSU. an old Enermax Revolution...
Anyone here with this shutdown problem?
Webwilli search EVGA forum for PSU compatibility and Classified mobo and where in that chart is your PSU. You will get the answer then.
yes i know the PSU comp-list... ;)
my old revo seems not compatible. i know this too.
but will the shutdown problem be fixed with a new revision?
i RMAed my revo and got a newer version.
just tell enermax
"known incompatibility with evga classified x58"
and they will give you an RMA pretty quickly.
takes about 10 days to get your new psu.
i send a mail to enermax germany before i buy the classified.
they told me that the PSU incompatibility only exist in USA and no germany costumer have this problem.... i donīt belive this.
if i have this problem, i should flash the newest bios or send my PSU to enermax germany. they will check it.
@fitseries3
the newer version works fine and without shutdown after every boot?
new version has had no problems at all so far.
check your serial number....
if its older than 95XXXXXX then you can get it RMAed for the new version.
my serial is 8C...
one of the first revolution.
yep. same as my first one. got it the week they came out.
you should be able to get them to rma it easily.
ok. thanks ;)
have you test your old enermax with the classified? before RMA.
yep. board wouldnt post at all.
I had shutdown problems for a few weeks and now everything's okay. Not really sure why but I'm not going to complain...
my board post well, but fail after windows restart.Quote:

Its not normal... Could be a PSU issue...
I have a quick question...
I have been playing around with the northbridge frequency and am having trouble breaking through the 4,000mhz barrier that I am encountering.
Would anyone have any advice on how I can push through it? (specifically voltages) I want to increase the efficiency on some scores I just submitted to hwbot.

Is your NB water cooled...
No its not. I was hoping to nudge into the 4ghz range without a waterblock. There is just a fan on it pushing air through.Quote:

Just a question for my own jcool... I've had major heat issues with my NB going over 4.2ghz...

from what others are reporting on the evga thread about this issue i would say its the psu.
RMA it and see if it solves the problem.
webwilli - its not normal..... RMA it or try another PSU......
i hope so. because i hate these shutdowns...
many thanks for your help. I will try and report ;)
Thanks...Quote:

it is not the PSU!!!
Last night i try every bios setting and found that Virtualization Technology makes trouble.
If i activate VT, the PC shutdown after Windows reboot.
Can someone please try it?
for the pheonix bios this was the only workaround for dfi and evgaQuote:

Hondacity / hiwa / webwilli - Thanks to all for the great tips on how best to flash the BIOS on the X58 Classified!
I'm still on the fence between the X58 3X Classified and the Asus Rampage II Extreme.
Fortunately, this is a wickedly busy period at work so I have another 7 to 10 days to ponder the pros and cons of each before pulling the proverbial trigger. If I drag it beyond that my HAF932 case will literally be screaming at me for the rest of the build. :up:
i have changed from RIIE to Classified...
Because i love pci-e layout at the classified.
both are wunderful and good X58-Boards ;)
Go for Classified if you can afford it, you won't look back.Quote:

Hi!
Does anyone have a bios for a760 for q3e2 32nm processors?
Sorry for the following pics but I am stuck...
I recently purchased a S.S. hoping to get some good frequencies for benchmarking. I loaded up the same settings that I was using for watercooling to get the CPU around the 4800mhz range for SuperPi. Now that I have the S.S. I am unable to push any further than what I did with the watercooling. I tried a few other settings that people have used within the thread but don't have any luck. The highest I could boot was around the 220bclk mark, maximum I could raise was to 229 with the e-leet program in windows.
I am currently using
- Xeon W3520
- Corsair HX1000W
- WD640 Caviar Black
- EVGA GTX 285 (I have noticed that people have been using a less powerful video card, I have a spare 7 series geforce that I could throw in pending suggestions from this post - hopefully there will be a couple).
- 6GB Mushkin Redline Ascent XP3-12800
I have also noticed that my hand controller will indicate -47 degrees but the BIOS will indicate -22 on the actual CPU, is this normal?

Thanks
Don't you need to enable Extreme Cooling?
Nevermind.. All sorted... such a rookie mistake!

Pretty happy. I think with some better timings on my memory I could bring the 32M run down a little. I would love to have 100 more mhz, I think I would be on top of the W3520 hwbot 1m and 32m superpi times. I am happy with the voltage that was needed too, I thought I would have needed a fair bit more - quite possible for a higher clock speed...
I hope you enjoyed.
great job mate, nice low voltage
Is IOH/ICH / I/O Voltage helping? I see you are at 1.725V, never tried rising above the default 1.5V.
I wouldn't have tried anything else tonight other than 1.725. I will try 1.5 tomorrow and see if it makes any difference. Worth a shot I guess...Quote:

I might be able to. I know that the same sticks have done it in other systems so I cannot really see why not... I can easily do it with the ratio of 2:6 but it gives me a crappy memory frequency...Quote:

Just ordered myself a classified, It should be here before the week's end. I am hoping. i am moving up from a Gigabyte X58 UD5, which was an excellent board, but I need to try the classified and see what it has to offer for overclocking. Any BCLK wall with the classified like the UD5, I couldnt get past 220 for the life of me, and I wasnt going to hardmod the board.
pci-e 103-110 and qpi sig compensation to less and your golden over 220 depending on cpu. Some need cold
Mine won't pass 223 for anything in this world (i'm on air). I'm 99.5% sure it's my vga holding me back.
i canīt pass 223 too. i think it is the cpu...

I set it to 1.66V in BIOS and in E-leet although, the monitoring tab in E-leet shows DRAM at 1.72V and even HWmoniter shows the same read out. I also notice it with my QPI voltage, the VTT in BIOS is set to say +250Mv but in the E-leet read out I am getting 1.52V and then in another place I am getting 1.42V, so it is weird to have 2 different reading for a single voltage even using the same program...

Any ideas classified owners or anyone? I also ordered a new set of the Kingston Hyper X 2000 Mhz RAM the cas 9 timing one,not the real expensive kit, any news on how these clock and how tight you can get the timings on them?
Checked my volts with dim last night. Eleet monitoring is way of here (crazy high VTT/Vdimm). All volts (idle and load) were within 0,01v of what is set in bios.
@ Jakethesnake011, start with 1,30v for QPI and work your way up from there, 1.45v is not needed in most cases on Evga (or you must be running very high memspeed/uncore clocks).
lol

Hi,
this is my first x85 board so im still learning :) .
im having a weird problem, when i restarts i can hear a noise coming from the board until the the post stops checking, it stops before booting into windows it only happens when restarting not when i turn it on after a shutdown .
should i be concerned about it ?
please ignore, it turned out to be the GPU.
