UnOfficial EVGA X58 Classified Owners Thread

[Capper5016]

hey guys what do u think is better for games an evga p55 classified or an evga x58 classified?

I tried to answer this earlier. The #1 thing that affects gaming is the graphics solution you choose. first and foremost, what is your budget? Are you a benchmarking geek? Are you the kind of guy that has to have the newest/best?

If you post a budget, and answer the questions above, it will let us truly give you a good answer....as the answer isnt black and white, and completely depends on the individual.

Wisely spoken.

Hi.
I need some help here i am a new user of evga cl and not happy with my i7 920 oc
i changed re2 to cl thinking of bclk 220+ but ...
i was able to push my 920 around 219-220 (spi32m) on re2 but on cl max oc is bclk 217(not stable in any way)!!!WEIRD

for stable 215x21 I need:
vcore 1.38v
vtt 1.27v

that's all I need any higher bclk is not stable even with vtt 1.47v and pci-e 110
temps in load are around 60-65 this is very nice batch and strong LC
any suggestion?

Better system specs and a filled out BIOS template would help us help you. There are several things, or combinations of things, which could be causing your frustration. Once we have a detailed image of what we are working with, hopefully we can tell you what you need to do.

Anyone here able to mount a TRUE in e-w config with fanclips? I am unable to but I think my nb heatsinkis angled. Also if. Were to buy a megahalem would it most likely fit e-w

[Jakethesnake011]

I had such such a HARD time doing it, I did it 2 days ago. it took like 30 minutes to do it. I had to go in from the bottom of the TRUE and then try to move the clip, kinda bend it, so it would clip into the bottom fin. I did not put the clips through the holes on the TRUE, the metal that holds the fins, but I put the clips through the fins themselves and it is holding very good, no vibration at all. Good luck I was pissed when doing it, I almost gave up.

But you could actually fit it? I mean on mine part of the processor is exposed, can I see a pic ?

With uncore I couldnt load windows. The second I put it back to auto it came right to desktop. Starting prime now with the other changes.

Im actually kind of embarrased because I used to be at 4.2 stable untill I started getting electrical noises from the board. For the past 2 months or so I went back to stock but never resolved my issues. I think I finally managed to figure it out and will find out when my rma comes in. Now its like almost learning to OC again.

hint hint
for higher uncore
check ure rtl's.

/QUOTE]

sounds like wrong vcore to vtt ratio

[mrcape]

Got a second classified in today from Newegg and it's pcb is warped by over 1cm. Appears new, but no shrinkwrap on box. I have handled hundreds of boards and this is certainly one of the flimsiest and most warped pcbs I've seen. I hesitate to set this board up at all now!

[Michowski]

If in doubt exchange it for another.

[mrcape]

I think so. I am sure it's a great board but since it's for a watercooling setup with a full cover block I want to make sure it's as true as possible. Also found a few bent and loose caps on these so I think they must be returns or refabs.

[JoeBar]

Return asap...

[mrcape]

Before I bother to exchange this board again, can anyone tell me if they had a warped pcb at all?

[NaeKuh]

Also found a few bent and loose caps on these so I think they must be returns or refabs.

Return it to newegg, and complain.

[Jakethesnake011]

No warped PCB for me, mine looked open though when I got it from the Egg, but it works fine and the serial wasnt registered so I kept it.

[resident1509]

the classified doesn't come shrinkwrapped. its just the box with the QC sticker over the opening cutout.

[Michowski]

Whats the highest you can take a 920 up to? Im just curious because in the bios I have mine setup to 1.375 which is intels max and actual is like 1.3945 or something.

[mrcape]

Tx for replies, I will sort it out.
