quick question, how to covert mV to V ? example:
the defult CPU VTT is 1.1v = +0mV .
+50mv would be 1.15v
+100mv is 1.2v
and etc
1mv = .001v
100mv = .1v
gotcha, thanks for the fast reply .
now im lost again :p: then why is 1.1v = +0mV ??Quote:

say your stock is 1.2, the way it works is you add to the original number.Quote:

+100mv = +.1v
.1v + 1.2v = 1.3v
good enough thanks again

BIOS set 4 (tweaker 5) is slower than Auto/disabled/0 at clocks i tried.
Is it best to leave Vdroop enabled with the EVGA boards? I have read arguments from both sides, it seems better to leave it on and add the little extra Vcore to the CPU to supply power under load, although I could be wrong. Will the voltage spikes with it off ruin any equipment or will the power supply system of the Classified be able to handle those spikes?
Nah, VDroop is not good for OCing IMO.Quote:

Never tried turning Vdroop on lol. Its not DFI, where if u leave it on and the PWM cant be cooled on air. I`m using 1.4V BIOS measured 1.39 idle, and 1.41 load Without Vdroop and the PWM temp was max 50-55 during the hottest summer days.

The newer BIOS' (61A & B) play a lot nicer with 12GB of RAM than the previous BIOS'. Previous 100% stable OC was 4.24GHz, now 4.5GHz (215x21 set in BIOS, not ELEET).

I am having some major problems trying to get the classified stable past 4.1Ghz, now I think it might be a problem with the new memory I had just got, the HyperX 2000mhz cas 9 kit, with the BBSE elipisa (spellINg?) based chips. Now I never ran my uncore at 4000mhz before, what kind of Vtt voltage will I be looking at in order to keep the system stable. I am trying to run my RAM around 1000mhz or more, and my Uncore will be a min of 4k mhz, any ideas, I tried Vtt of about 1.500v and I get green screens and system hangs with even a high 1.40 Vcore, which is what I need for 4.4ghz on my UD5, not 4.2, I only need 1.344V Vcore on my Ud5 I would think the classified would shave some off and maybe give a lower voltage. I am okay in linx with a 2:6 memory divider, but 2:10 is all :banana::banana::banana::banana:ted up on me. I would like to try and see what my new RAM kit can handle so I want to push it, my memory timings are also loose at 9-9-9-24 1t. Any ideas? The classified is taking some time, a learning curve I would say options I never had before, but also some options less than the UD5, now is there a HPET option on the classified? I dont see one.
The new s61B Bios, I think those are the newest ones...And updating the BIOS with a USB drive is a job compared to the ud5, which was like a hot knife through butter it was so easy.
I am just not used to the settings and options the board has this is my 1st time really sitting and trying to OC it. Now the MCH strap I have on auto, since there is no memory controller on the IOH, so what does this control now, the MC in the i7? I also have the 3 PLL voltages on auto I will check the rest of my settings.
try increasing the qpi/pll a bit?
What would be a good increase on such? 50 mV? Or more, I never had a QPI PLL on the UD5 I was using.
Jake, take my template and fillout your settings. I'll be around all night and would be happy to help anyway I can.
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:

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)
PIC:
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
uve must have posted this when i was away on tour..Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:
Originally Posted by dylskee

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.

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)...Quote:

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.
I doubt you see any difference at all by switching to the other x16 slot :up:Quote:

Right?
The E759 can run x16 in the top 3 PCI-E slots, because it has the NF200 chip, which provides extra lanes. The E760 doesnt have the NF200 chip, so you are limited to:
Slot #1 x16, or x8 if slot #2 is occupied
Slot #2 x8
Slot #3 16x, or x8 if slot #4 is occupied
Slot #4 x8
Just what I wanted to know.Quote:

Is anyone else having issues with dropping RAM in Windows? Seemingly at random, I'll boot into Windows to see "6.00GB (xGB usable)" in System Properties, and games etc. only have access to that reduced amount of memory. CPU-Z and every other utility I've tried shows the full 6GB, but Windows only thinks that lesser amount is "usable". I can get it to see the full amount rebooting a few times or by swapping around the DIMMs from slot to slot, but the problem just reoccurs with the new configuration until I swap my RAM around again. I've tried Memtest, which passes, and boosting vTT and vCore hugely, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
This i noticed, maybe not exactly the same, but there is a setting like the old "aparture" setting, atleast in my DFI there are, should be used when having SLI or so, dedicating more memory for the graphics, I once noticed in win 7, it showed 3GB, 2GB usable, wtf? well then "lowgap" was set so it was dedicating 1gb for graphics......i lowerd this, and its back to normal..... dunno bout the Classy? or perhps its not your problem at all :) seen some strange behaviour about this on all board, RAM not showing, or even working as it should, CPU mem channel problems? think some have fixed this by changing either mobo or cpu.
I had this happen on the Blood Rage & the Classified 759. Once was too much pressure on the the CPU by the WB & the other was to re-seat the processor in the holder. There is a little play and re-seating it dead center did the trick for me. Hope this helps, :DQuote:

If you still have the same issue after trying that, boost the VDIMM a notch. the rest of your settings look pretty good... Although I have found dropping the CPU and QPI PLL to 1.625V helps stability during overclocking.

do you guys consider IBT 10 runs @ max memory ok for stability testing ?
I wouldnt change anything quattro :) looks great
Now that you have it stable, do a little tinkering and see if it helps you push it a little further, or if it allows you to lower the VCore, or if it affects benchmarking results:
for your OC, you can probably switch to "Without VDroop" and run the VCore at 1.265 to 1.275 (put it under load, and see what your voltage rises to after a few minutes, then adjust your VCore to the closest setting to what you see under load). As to your VTT, at that freq, you can probably leave VTT at "Auto", with the Classifieds I've played with, I didn't have to add VTT until I passed 4.2GHz.....especially with the Uncore at "Auto" (its fine there unless you are trying to squeeze every last benchmarking point out of your system).
BRB to "3" (This is found under Memory Settings and improves memory scores)
VTT PWM Frequency to "610"
CPU PWM Frequency to "1210"
CPU Impedance to "Less"
QPI Signal Compensation to "Less"
My classified died today.... FF code.... Tried everything (New Ram, CPU, PSU, GPU) Nothing works... This really sucks.....
Edit:
I powered it down before I went to bed last night and tried to restart it again this morning… For some reason it powers up with the FF code and restarts after a few seconds with the same code…
The trick for that is pressing down hard on the bios chip while you boot. Worked for a couple people so far :up:Quote:

Contacted the worthless and rude eVGA support. First person told me it was dead, and my fault....definitely shorted out. Second person told me the BIOS was corrupted and I needed to RMA it. Third person told me the chipset was dead, and insisted that I broke it.
Finally, I decided to tinker and after starting the computer, repeatedly pushed the "F1" key........after a few minutes, the board posted and took me into the BIOS, changed everything to default and the board has worked perfectly since then.
Just a thought, may or may not work, but worth a shot.
I love Corsair, great people and great products......but I really like OCZ because their memory is much cheaper and does everything I want. I bought a 12GB kit of OCZ DDR31600 and have overclocked it to 1733 at CAS9 with 1.65V.......that 12GB kit cost me less than that 6GB kit you are considering.Quote:

To be honest I dont game a lot. but the difference in price between a 1366 and 1156 board, and a i7 and i5 processor could net you a pretty dramatic step up in graphics card.
Its a pretty hot topic, starting from scratch...do you buy an i5 processor and socket 1156 motherboard now at a great price, or do you go the socket 1366 route with a Core i7 920 for now and save up for new INTEL Core i9 processor coming out next year? Its all up to the individual, but if I were building a system right now, I'd buy a Core i5 750 and MSI P55 board, and invest in a good graphics card, then revisit the issue in a year and buy a Core i9 and 1366 board after all the hoopla dies down and the prices drop.
Unfortunately your idea didn’t solve my problem… Everything seems to power up okay i.e. LED’s, GPU and Fans... Hopefully EVGA will RMA this board considering its only 2 months old. I’ve seen listings on other forums stating how great EVAG’s RMA program was… Hopefully this is true…. If not this will be my last EVGA MB….

Thanks! :up:
I cant attest to the actual RMA service, I only shared my experience with their customer service people.Quote:

try changing what SATA ports you are using for your boot drive after clearing cmos. Worked for me onceQuote:

Why?
1. Advance RMA with shipping options means they send first. Not last.
2. Advance RMA with shipping options also includes a UPS label for you to reattach on the box to mail out.
3. Advance RMA with shipping will get you a "authorized" shipping box for you to send your dead part in.
4. Advance RMA with shipping will not cost you that much more if you were to mail out your eq first though ups.
So Advance RMA = Win if ur in the US.
Good luck with your rma board. I just recieved my 2nd rma board and this one was damaged. Cpu pins were bent up and the board was physically dirty lol. This will be my first and last evga board. My reason for an rma is just one day when I booted up my pc I all the sudden started getting these wierd noises comming from the board. They were almost like the alert beeps. When im in forums and I scroll with my mouse I get them. If my system is just idle I dont. Also when I load up a game it becomes rapid and doesnt stop till I close the game. For like 2 months I had my system at 4.2ghz stable and no issues. Then one day I started having issues and even with my current rma board its still exists. The company isnt giving me solutions either or any idea why I had these issues. They just keep telling me to rma it.
You probably received someone else’s RMA… I’m sure they run a few test on all the boards they receive and send them out to others if they pass a quick test…. More or less you are getting someone else’s problem…

Questions -
Don't these usually come in shrink wrapped boxes?
Has anyone recieved a warped to hell PCB?
What's the latest rev of the board (this one is rev 1.0)?
Thanks.
n/m - sent back for replacement. Looking forward to a NEW one. ;)
Sounds like the board I sent back about a month ago. Warped like hell with a hundred grubby paw prints all over the back of it. I expected better quality also, pretty thin pcb. The first one, like the second one I got had no shrink wrapping. Only nylon banding around the box and one clear EVGA sticker. My board rev 1.0
For 450 bucks for this board I had higher expectations about the quality of this board. Seems like they just throw em around and ship em out. I do have to say that performance wise I havent even had 1 single complaint. Let alone even overclock to its full potential. Best way I can describe my problem is to tell you to open a chat window. Just hit the backspace button. Everytime I scroll in a forum its like hitting backspace in the chat window. When I launch a game just hold backspace down. Thats my only problem with this board.
If I watercool the 920 does the classified stock NB cooler work well I do I need to watercool the whole thing?
It works very well. My 920 is watercooled and the nb sits at about 30c idle while the cpu in the mid 30's. I havent seen it hit 40c yet even over hours of gaming. I am still going to watercool mine in the future just for the looks of it all but its not needed IMO.
NB doesnt get hot at all vrm's get a little warm but are fine too
hey guys what do u think is better for games an evga p55 classified or an evga x58 classified?
Dont know much about the p55 class but I gotta say performance wise the x58 class is rock solid. At this point in time I dont know how they can do better. I got zero complaints as far as overclocking, performance, stability. Just solid.
X58 loaded with 3 gpu's = GGQuote:

Yep, they charged me too. I think its because we don't live in the US.Quote:
