That are normal temperature for those elements. You don't need to worry about it.

No, it isn't normal. I have about 50°C load with air cooling and 40mm fan at 5v

I think he have only CPU waterblock ? If I'm wrong than it IS high temperature.

Doesn't matter, on stock heatsink that is also high temp... But I think he have WB on NB as he wrote ,,i think i gotta remount again''

^^ What cooler? If yours turns out good I may try watercooling the board for the first time.

Thanks radaja, I hope it does also. This is my first EVGA X58 board, after my last 2 boards, rex3 with crappy bclk, and the p55a ud7 with defective foxconn socket I am ready for a good one.

I think CLASSIFIED 3 will do just as good or better than the regular E760. It's so mature right now, and it's a very good performer. Hope it does well to you. Regards, and tell us about it.

im trying desperately to get a used E760,which will be my first eVGA board
also.kind of worried about using a new bios format(been on gigabyte so long)
because i dont like confusion frustration when it come to OCing.so let me know
how it goes for you and how dealing with a new bios format goes:up:

today after long time with no test i've fired up the board with the 950 and 3x2gb kingston mgh-e-hyper...so, same config as always.
all was at air cooling, but the mobo at the first boot stuck on FF.
4 hours later i retried the board and this time it works "fine"...but...only with QPI in full mode. :rofl:
when i set slow mode the board start and pass from F8 --> F3 --> F6 --> F8 --> some strange codes (e.g. d4 - that means nothing.......).
if i press reset button the mobo restart and this time boot apparently normaly but when i'm in windows with CPUz and CPU-Tweaker i ALWAYS see memory in 2:8 and uncore 16x.
there is no :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing way to make it boot with another memory or uncore multiplier with QPI in slow mode.
and this occurs with bios S61A, 44 and 74 ALSO WITH LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS and only QPI slow mode and dividers modified by me.

in less than 3 months it gave me alot of trouble, every time there is something that doesn't work properly.........

Thanks Federico.

Will post results with the new board asap, I am excited to finally try a Classified. I picked the rex3 over it last time, turned out to be mistake.

It is weird switching to another brand after using giga so long, but once you play around with it a while it feels normal again.

zsams had 2 classi's radaja, maybe he is still looking to sell one.

i had 2 1 did 229blk 1 did 231 blk sold the 229blk one

i shoulda bought the e760 it was same price as the rexIII:mad: rexIII was a pure waste of $

anyone got a spare standoff can measure thickness of stanfoff
my block is a pure pain :mad:

^ you mean the standoff supporting the mobo? mine are 3/8 or 9.525mm tall.

x58 rev of both? My classy is rev13, I don't know if rev12 could go higher on bclk, but on mine I've reached 231 so far, need to test a little more.

I have the apogee XT water block, the backplate wont work on the e770 classified 3. I was going to order the HeatKiller 3.0 backplate to replace this one but keep my XT block. Does anyone know if this will work?

The backplate for the XT is square and will hit these circled in red. They stick out enough to make me nervous putting any pressure on them.

wont work
the heatkiller screws are much thicker

just cut the backplate in that area
10-12-2010, 07:00 PM
OC Nub

^^ Thanks, think I have it figured out, cut out slots in the xt backplate so they wont hit. What cpu block are you using?
10-13-2010, 06:41 PM

Well this is the slowest build I have done. Got home late, but was able to get the XT backplate to work. Hopefully this weekend I will build.
Next I have to clean up the wires on this non modular psu.

heatkillers:D
1 has heatkiller backplate the other has coolmaster

coolmaster is much better
i consider heatkiller backplate :down:

Got the board running a few minutes ago, will take some learning. The board overvolts quite a bit, but this was my first try at these bclks, NO SLOWMODE, havent done any testing yet, just wanted to see if it booted at 230bclk from bios. Need to figure out the VTT, not like my giga board.
