EVGA X58 Classified in the house : First results I7 920 and 965

[Pedro Rocha]

Finally have the chance of testing the masterpiece conceived by Shamino : the EVGA Classified.

It's a retail version, bought in the local EVGA reseller.

The layout of the motherboard it's near perfect: large amount of space of CPU area, double 12v for CPU, 3+1 PCIe ....

In order you can have a more correct perception of the potential of this motherboard did quick tests with a retail I7 920 Air Cooled and with a retail I7 965 cooled by my Mini-cascade (~-80ºC).


1 -I7 920 Air Cooled

And, to my surprise run Superpi 32M at 4.600Mhz - thats a sub-8m 32M run Air cooled .. here is it:




Also did a quick 3Dmark 06 run with a stock EVGA GTX295 with 920 at 4.500Mhz Air cooled ..here is it:



Not bad for a air cooled 920, right ?



1 -I7 965 at the Mini-Cascade

Photo:




And on first attempt 5.200Mhz quite easy ..



With a bit more fine tunning maybe 32M is possible at this speed


A quick test of the bandwith with Cas7



Not bad for start ..


With HT on pass the eavy CPU test of 3DMark 2006 at 4.9GHz



Hope also pass Vantage at 4.900Mhz ..although the Vantage CPU test are quite violent to my little cascade ..


More to come, of course...

I must say I'm quite impressed with the firts tests of the EVGA Classified ... very nice work Shamino and the rest of the EVGA Team

[systemviper]

yea, those are some great scores for air... and 1 gtx 295, it took me 2 cards to get that score


as always, very impressive!

awesome testing pedro! what was the limits of your chip on other boards? i cant wait to play with one of these

[Warboy]

What does your bios look like if You don't mind?

Hey Pedro , long time no see , its good to see your 965 really shining

astoning work once again from EVGA

keep pushing it

[dread77]

This motherboard is a masterpiece!!! Pedro, can you tell if you gained any MHz from previous boards using the same cpu? Or is it just better stability in high frequencies?

[Serpentarius]

i've yet to use i7s ... but i cant understand there's a point where there's 4 core, 8 threads ... and another screenshot of 4 core, 4 threads
did the threadstarter disable the multithreading?

This is the best overclocking x58 period imo

if you have a good chip to go with this unit you will get the very best results

Pedro give it hell mate

[scooter.jay]

This is a cracking board if a little expensive

[Itchy]

[pauld5999]

[SAE]

Great board and great results... would be even better without that nf200.

[saaya]

yeah i heard theres anf200-less version coming?

[George_o/c]

yeah i heard theres anf200-less version coming?

Now that would be even more amazing Sascha ! Where did you hear that ?

[carpo93]

yeah i heard theres anf200-less version coming?

wow
it must be cheaper

[Oliver]

there will be a non nf200 version , the time estimate is said to be around the same time as the current nf200 version
