UnOfficial EVGA X58 Classified Owners Thread

[roller11]

What is your bclk value?
There is a setting in the BIOS in that area that states VGA BIOS something and it defaults to auto. Try playing around with it.

Again, I'm not asking for tips on how to speed up resume. I'm asking how long resume takes for other classified owners so that I can judge whether theirs something wrong with my particular board, or, my results are typical of other classified 760 boards. I'll even settle for the number of seconds from power button to desktop reappearing.

My Classified 760 Arrived Today. I will post some pictures when the battery for my camera is finished charging.

No sign of any transit damage to the box or the board. i think EVGA has redesigned the packaging for the 760's

Later

Question for Classfied owner, I saw there are 2 8-pins power plugs on this board, is it necessary to plug in both? if so how do you get around it when your PSU only have one 8-pin plug?

[ChaosAD]

jAkUp great build Now just change the mem with some 2000c7 kit.

Nope, with one 8-pin works just fine

I believe you can use just one 8 pin plug and using the second one is optional.

Damn i'm jealous, I want those 295's lol, still waiting to find a good price to get mine :/ Sleep to desktop is 2-3 secs for me only time it takes awhile is if it fails and reboots then it's like 10 seconds.

Mine Classified will arrive tomorrow, oh God i can't wait any more :[

Well might as well put up my picture here of my Classified build to help get this thread rolling.

Special Thanks to a fellow forumer on here and a good friend who helped me lap my True.

[ben805]

The classified looks like a nice board, so is there anything that you guys don't like about it? and what do you wish EVGA to improve?

[raptord]

Which way to put the cpu cooler is better for classfied? Vertical or Horizontal? I am using push and pull Noctua.

I think it really depends on the case exhaust orientation. I have mine blowing through to the back as my exhaust fan is at the back of the case. If it were say a coolermaster haf case then I'd have it exhausting to the top of the case as there is a huge fan at the top.

How do you guys think about this? Do i really need another fan for VREG?

R-R: Nice clocks on the classifed and the W3520 ..... what temps are you seeing using the Cryzo-Z?

Thanks, idles around -21c, load is -0c - -2c

Hello.

Because Prime95 is steady, it is not possible to test though it exchanged from R2E to Classified.

Please teach the setting of BIOS when there is made stabilize Prime95 by about 210*21.

A fan blowing on the Vreg would be great like the antec spot cool. But I have yet to put one round there yet.

Yeah that is actually how I have my fans. The fan on the NB is pulling air from gpu through the nb heatsink and out towards the cpu heatsink where the fan dispearses it.

Nice system there! I love that case...

Can you take a "closer" picture on your push/pull config and send it to me please? I think is tricky to assemble that way.

[gatecrasherlok]

Heres a somewhat close up of the set up here. bit fuzzy but hey. I'll try and take another picture later on in the week when I get some time.

[IversGarn]

My system with Classified 760...you can consider it to be an Engineering Sample.

Hey guys, board just came in yesterday, or rather, I just got back in the country yesterday. Haven't gamed in months so I've wasted a lot of time, but i've got some tasty RAM testing (including a 12GB configuration) coming up, and next week i'll get to bench ln2 with 3 of every graphics card under the sun.

One question for everyone though, I've got a copy of windows 7 build 7127 that I'd like to use for my 24/7 OS, but EVGA's CD refuses to install the sound and LAN because they are vista drivers. Since Nvidia's w7 and vista 185.85 drivers are essentially identical i'm thinking it might work to just download the drivers individually and install them manually, but I was wondering if anyone knew of existing w7 drivers for this board? neither google nor evga.com does.

Here is my Classy 759 old result, water + ice

Superpi 1M @ 5GHz, temperature seems good...


5075.29MHz by DC


5075.29 by CPU-z Validator



Now it becomes, to be tested by DI....

Firstly, Windows 7 already has got the intel x58 chipset, Realtek GbE NIC and Realtek sound drivers intact. If you want the lastest driver there is for the realtek nic and sound, just run windows update will do.
So to speak, the only driver that needs to be installed will be your graphics card driver, which you have already mentioned.
