Is it good if my 920 D0 2D benches 3.15GHz @ 1vcore?

[fatguy1992]

I'm doing some pretesting on my new 920 D0 and Classified. Just going quick prime 95 session right now.



3.0GHz with 0.964vcore and all the other volts are at stock or under stock.

i dont like the new bios incase any of you guys are wondering...

infact i think i still love the original bios that came with my 759.

Which bios is that naekuh? bios version I mean you are using?

[NaeKuh]

Which bios is that naekuh? bios version I mean you are using?

Bios Version : S21T
BIOS Date : 6/11/2009
Bios File : E759S21T.bin (Primary Download Link)

i mostly updated because of this:

Updated CPU Microcode

I thought it would help the W3580 and W3570.

The update made me lose my OC @ voltage, i need to bump voltage to hold same OC.

[fatguy1992]

Just did 3.2GHz with the same settings as before



So do I have a alright chip?

EDIT:

Well heres my 4.0GHz - 4.1GHz shots, I know I didn't run prime long, i'll run it for longer so other time. I really hate it cause its so boring.

Yeah, same here. I cannot make the same OC stable under S21T as it was under S21S beta.

On a positive note, finished installing my new WC system in the Antec 900 Who says you cannot fit two 320s inside this case I'll post pics later.

Temps are 69C using full LinX load at 4.21GHz with fans at 100% (3 Ultra Kaze 3K RPM sandwiched between two MCR320s). Ambient temp is extremely high here though, 29C - 30C today. Idle to load change is roughly 25C. I think I can be low 60s or below with normal ambient temps.

Happy 4th of July!!!! I would agree with the latest bios T, it s**ks. S21S is much more stable. On another note, has anyone ever seen the error code A7 on the Debug LED Display & know what it means?

I have seen this A7 a couples of times on E760@S610 BIOS. Don't know its meaning though.

it means your qpi signal setting is not liked at the settings you saved, try a different setting.

[GAR]

Just got this board, gotta say its running very smooth, took me 10 mins to get 4.2ghz stable, best x58 board yet, good job evga!

[dejanh]

Any update on new BIOS work? It would be nice to get a version that finally makes the SmartFan smart

That and I am not sure what introduced instability into OCs in S21T, but simply reverting to S21S makes everything stable again...strange...

classified noob joining in

started off a bit funny hahahah

first boot no disaply on LED, after a bit of messing around and pulling one 8pin plug i get it too boot but stock on code 68 now.............oh crap

at the end had to reseat the CPU and that got it going

had to plug the second 8pin on a different spot on the back of the HX1000 to get it going with dual 8pins

in case someone else experienced that try reseating the CPU and RAM
(tip for the slow ones like me hahaha)

[clone38]

What is the normal boot code out of interest.

Alot of boards are picky about the amount of pressure/bowing created by the cpu mounting hardware too. If you run into no boot again, try loosening things a bit before removing.

What is the normal boot code out of interest.

Typically F3--> F6--> 68--> 69 --> C1 --> ? ? ?25--> 26 post sound and screen appears.

[road-runner]

What is code 26, mine hangs at 26 a lot and I have to hit the reset button then it will boot...

[dinos22]

are you guys finding that enabling/disabling turbo mode in bios is a bit weird

i have similar behaviour with original bios and S610 i just flashed to

however the new bios clocks bus a bit easier from what i can see now

[Anth Seebel]

Typically F3--> F6--> 68--> 69 --> C1 --> ? ? ?25--> 26 post sound and screen appears.

? ? ? = C3

[Sil2]

? ? ? = C3

then 2d

i think.

[Splave]

What is code 26, mine hangs at 26 a lot and I have to hit the reset button then it will boot...

does the same thing to me, usually only when im running phase and high clocks. That or it will just cycle f3-f6 f3-f6, then I will hit restart and it will either boot or go to FF and not post so I power down and power up and the settings will work not a huge deal to me now that I know it does that sometimes and how to fix it

[bluehaze]

Mine hangs randomly sometimes too I'll reboot and it will hang, I think it's at 26 then have to power it off then it will hang with FF then power it off then it will hang with CF then power off again not positive on the order but after the last time it will finally boot and say the OC is messed up but you go into bios and hit save without changing anything and then it boots fine. That's with 12 hours prime stable too...

[BustaH]

^^^mine does a similar thing to this I dont get 'oc failed' though, it will hang on reboot on 26 or 68 press reset and it boots again and stable, weird. its a minor glitch, I can live with.

[[DRACO]]

someone knows that this jumper? classified e-760

CSC Strap jumper I-LIMIT

[OBR]

DRACO - by the Shaminos email, it turning OFF Turbo Boost mode for good. It hepls stability under LN2 ... little bit.

I have my new "760" model and is little bit better then my "759". On first run, 220 MHz BLCK booted to Windows, max BCLK 235 MHz is good for initial test. W3540 SuperPi 4,9 GHz + 3DMark Vantage 4,7 GHz and CPUz Validation 4,94 GHz ... everything on AIR. By me, is "760" better then older model ...

Not sure if it correlates with the Classified brother, but I get the same cycle when pushing my memory too hard on the E758 board. Just a thought.

[LiberalElephant]

So how much extra speed has the Classified been giving you guys?
