We write the process of how to Flashing the bios with USB. I have tried all but I can not Flashing. Please help!!

[ci2kla]

Why not take the letter Y

Seems you're not using MS DOS? (I don't know if that will matter...)
Anyway, you don't need to press ENTER after you press Y on that screen...

A Heads up: BIOS 59 Released

For details please check this thread out.

Ok, now I flshing bios to the latest version (59). but the problem remains the same. The problem is because I do not say which version I am Flashing. There where it says Date, it is meant when the bios was issued or when I am Flashing. Given the CPU and the turbo is therefore possible that the cpu fault

BIOS Version: IX58S659

yup you're there

[M_T_M]

What would it be wrong motherboard or cpu?

[blizz]

kk. Glad you found it. The 4x bioses were all bad for nehalem so far. They seem to work best with gulftown.

Wonder if 59 bios is any better in clocking ram than S61B..Any one have findings on this?

59 Updates:
Updates CPU Microcode
Corrects issue with boot screen hang on some RAID 0 SSD setups
Extreme cooling mode improvements when using a 6-core CPU
Supports reduction to 4-core or 5-core for 6-core CPUs

About the double CPU power socket on the Classified, do I lose out anything if I just have only 1 of them connected?

I cannot comment on the differences in oc-ability as I did not test it myself. But 99% of the changes refer to the new Gulftown cpus now IMHO... IF you are on GT, then go for it. But for Bloomfields there are definitely better bioses, I think.

It does no harm at all.
If you were going for 5 or more GHz with several highly clocked gfx cards, then you could improve things a bit with two connectors connected.

Great. I'll continue using S61B then.

So anything below 5ghz will have no effect. Good to know.
I'm trying for 4.6 ghz HT off. Just making sure before I start cracking my head for the wrong reasons. Thanks man.

Depends on your psu as well...
But if it's a good 0.85-1.2kW one, it should suffice.

I just picked up my E760 from a fellow member here in the "classifieds"... (brand new return from RMA) just this week and I'm also new to the 1366 platform coming from socket 1156. I've got a nice batch 920 (3938B010) and will most likely run my rig with a low voltage overclock ~4.0GHz for a "crunching" 24/7 setup. I've done some testing at 21x200 and 19x~210 but I seem to be having some bclk issues at around 209. I most likely need more voltages. Can any one give me some VTT and IOH voltage ranges to work with for bclk in the 210 to 220/225 range. I'd like to bench the chip at 215x19 and then 215x21 and providing that I'm successful... perhaps even push on from there.

Note: I'm running with vdroop enabled on air with a Noctua and two medium speed fans in push/pull. These are just short stability runs I'm just starting to test the chip.

Can anybody help my friend here ^^

1366 is not my forte.

I'm using a Seasonic S12D 850w

Here's the product.

is it good enough? Sorry I really don't know much about PSUs..

Most likely needs more VTT, since your RAM should be able to do those speeds with ease.

I can bench all the way up to 220Blck without raising PCI-E, 1 or 2 more mhz than that and it hard locks. So when you get to speeds around the 215ish range, you might need to up the PCIE to 105 or so.

Only changes I have to make to bench on water is VTT\Vcore\VDimm. QPI PLL\CPU PLL\IOH\ICH I all keep at stock levels.

What QPI multi do you use to bench up to ~220 bclk? If I leave mine set to enabled/auto I can get up to ~209 with the x18 qpi but it seems to "fail boot" ~210 and up. If i set QPI function to disable it drops QPI multi down to x12(?) and I've been able to boot 215+.

19x208 BIOS:

[Rudster816]

I leave it on Auto. Ive never had to lower it to get any OC stable.

Try raising the QPI PLL to 1.25v

[Enigma422]

I'm getting an E760 soon with a 930, is the general consensus to use the S61J BIOS for this chip over the new 59 BIOS?

It's a great psu and should suffice for sure.

I would say so, but some users seem to be successful with the 59 as well. You have to try. Keep an eye on performance as well comparing both bioses. Some say video performance is gonna suffer with 4x-5x...

[Dahaka]

Have anyone some info about CB and CBB con Classi 760? any solution or something like a mod or hardmod .

I'm think there may be something slightly "borked" with this particular motherboard sample.

Even with ample voltages as soon as I go to 210+ bclk with x18 qpi I get no (failed) post. If I disable qpi control the board drops to x12 qpi and I can boot. I've also tried swapping out my Muskin for GSkill and the same story. If I drop back to 209 then I can boot with x18 qpi...

The only other thing I can think of off hand is is to try flashing to the latest BIOS?

EDIT: Flashed to the latest 59 BIOS... and still no affect on the problem.

The board bugs out? Usually it's the cpu!

XCool Jumper works as well as the bios options for me.

Yep, is the mobo, why?, because same CPU, memory, PSU on DFI UT LP X58 doesn't have that problem.

F*cki*g mobo

Then you should contact EVGA support IMHO.

where's your UD7 abangcupi, i thought you still use it

[The Water Dog]

Im gonna pick up a Classified E760 tomorrow, and i know its have bios to support 32nm cpu. I think it is the first bios with support for it, can i boot up with 980X retail?

Thanks for all help

[Marvin54]

change my E760 by E759
