UnOfficial EVGA X58 Classified Owners Thread

[raptor1]

what cpu cooler is that you are using

[Splave]

i believe its a coolermaster v10

[TinTin]

Nice setup..

why you using dual channel ? for better OC ?

one need to be RMA, and I switched Corsair 2000GT C7

[lior307]

I'm going Today to buy the Classified and need this answer quickley !!

1. What is the Differences between Classified E760 to E761 ??
2. Which model is Better for OC ? is it 760 Or 761 ??

[Splave]

e759 has nf200 chip allowing 16x 16x 16x
e760 does not

If I could do it again, would have gotten e760

[lior307]

O.K but what about E761 ???

What are the Differences between Classified E760 to E761 ??

761 is no longer for sale. It has been discontinued and SKU removed due to lack of proper market positioning. See official announcement here http://www.evga.com/forums/fb.asp?m=100667969

Now, on topic can the OP please update the FP with more useful information. The way the FP should look like can be seen here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=210275

Good though I would really suggest you move it into the first post. That's where everyone will look when they come to the thread.

[Splave]

my first board was a dud, only top pci-e slot would work RMAing now. May be worth checking out.

lol Must be the brother to mine, all but the top Pcie slots worked.. Hopefully are new boards will be perfect!

[Splave]

^I'll drink to that

[hlonipha]

Just got mine, will switch tomorrow morning, waiting on my new fan controller for my rad fans.

Question, is anybody having problems clocking Uncore independently on D0 chips only using the Classified? I'm trying to figure out if there is a problem with the boards or BIOS or something to do with the D0 chips. Basically, Uncore can only be clocked 2:1 to DRAM or just a bit above (say +1x multiplier). An example would be if DRAM was at 1600MHz Uncore is okay if it is at 3200MHz, or 3400Mhz, but 3600MHz will cause an infinite F3/68 loop at boot and the system will not post. However, if you increase the DRAM speed to say 1700MHz, then 3400MHz (16x Uncore) is okay and so is just over 3600MHz (17x Uncore) but 18x Uncore or higher is not. If you go to faster DRAM yet, say 2000MHz, then you can set the Uncore to 20x or 21x but not 22x.

Don't see the point in overclocking uncore more than necessary. It does work for me at 4ghz Uncore/2ghz ram

My Question is :

Are the E760 Better than the E761 for OC ?? are they use the same Design and Chipset revision ??
Anybody ??

[Splave]

you cant get the e761

[TinTin]

How about the E760.....







245.8bclk on U120E, air cooling......

sure you could microcenter has them ,and the only difference is the front bay controller that comes with the 759 model

[lior307]

"you cant get the e761" By Bobbylite

Belive me when i say " i can get the E761" ,

I just want to know if it is the EXACT 760 + the ECP ??
Can someone Confirm that it's the Same Chipset revision and Design ??
Cause i can get them both and i need to decide Quickley !!

Its the same exact board as the 760 !! I know 100%

Ok first, let me clarify what I said since you did not interpret it right. I know you can clock Uncore high and that's not the problem. But you cannot clock the Uncore high independently of DRAM which is a problem. You can only clock high Uncore if you have high speed DRAM and only within +1x Uncore multiplier really.

Now, why is it a problem you ask? Well, clocking Uncore high gives you more bandwidth and improves performance in certain cases even with lower speed DRAM. On the R2E I ran the Uncore at 4.2GHz for daily use but that was with C0 chips. It provided a tangible benefit when compiling. I also cannot bother to look for it now but somebody showed a clear time difference when compiling a Linux kernel while increasing Uncore quite some time ago (maybe around December/January last year/this year). It was a statistical comparison where the tester I believe was increasing Uncore in 200MHz steps while keeping the same CPU and DRAM clock and seconds were definitely shaved off.

And then there is the pure joy of overclocking yet another component. It is XS after all

Its the same exact board as the 760 !! I know 100%

761 is the same board as 760 but with ECP. However, EVGA is no longer offering this board. Why would you want it anyway? Just get the 760 and get the ECP separately if you really need it (which mind you, you really do not).

nge769 & dejanh , Thank you !!

Where can i find the E760 + ECP ???

[dejanh]

nge769 & dejanh , Thank you !!

Where do you live? ECP can be ordered directly from EVGA online store, same with the 760, or you can get the 760 I think from Newegg or NCIX.
