Awesome awesome awesome. Well done, EVGA. Bootup bclk was one thing many guys were critizising.

PCIe 115MHz and more VTT is the key, but 235 with low multi and 2 cores disabled, cause the CPU cant go higher on water. Also 21x230 2 cores enabled is not a problem, I tried a quick 1M test.

Anyone?

230x21 ht off 1.52vcore all ok at boot up.....s224.bin is excellent

e759 mobo

just chiming in

**dblairw** · 09-21-2009, 09:23 PM

I'm wrapping up a HAF932 build with a D0 stepping i7-920, Corsair HX1000 power supply, Mushkin DDR3 1600 RAM, WD 300GB VelociRaptor drives, etc.

I held off on the mobo until the last minute because I'm on the proverbial fence between the ASUS Rampage II Extreme X58 and the EVGA 3X SLI Classified.

I will be using a Prolimatech Mega Shadow CPU cooler, so that alone may make the Rampage II the board of choice for me since I have seen reports the similar Megahelems is a very tight fit at best on the Classified.

I don't currently do competitive overclocking, but am a hard core gamer / Flight Simulator X guy and will want to run my D0 at a stout overclock. I will eventually be running either twin ATI 5870 or EVGA GT380 GPU's in SLI. Need to see how the next several months play out on the video front.

All of my prior builds have used ASUS mobos, so I know how to flash the BIOS for the Rampage II every which way but loose.

Pardon the "noob to EVGA mobo" question, but what's the best = most convenient way to flash the BIOS on the Classified? Looks like the latest BIOS for the Classified is a pure winner and upgrading to it is not optional.

Thanks, gang!

**Hondacity** · 09-21-2009, 09:58 PM

this is how i did it earlier today http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=671353

just have your ups up and running....

**Booj** · 09-21-2009, 11:35 PM

I also love the new bootup bclk with this new bios. 235+ no problems

**jcool** · 09-22-2009, 02:01 AM

Just ordered a classified myself, hoping for some Gulftown BCLK lovin

Can't wait to see the max stable BCLK on this beautyful motherboard.

**webwilli** · 09-22-2009, 02:08 AM

@jcool

where did you order the CF?

**jcool** · 09-22-2009, 02:27 AM

Wave... they are hopefully gonna get a few in today or tomorrow. That's what my sales rep said anyway...

**webwilli** · 09-22-2009, 02:33 AM

wave... not for me

**jcool** · 09-22-2009, 03:01 AM

I can PM you when I get a definite info on available boards.

**webwilli** · 09-22-2009, 03:07 AM

yes. please

many thanks

**raptor1** · 09-22-2009, 03:41 AM

The first page has been updated with links to the new bios for the 759 and 760

or

here is easyer operation to flash the bios

download tools :
Windows 98 BootFile
HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool v2.1.8.exe

How to create a bootable USB Drive
http://translate.google.com/translat...cheda%2F11.htm

Copy and paste to USB root
AWDFLASH.EXE
E760S61A.bin (or any .bin bios)
Go.bat

boot with your usb and just write :
go.bat

you can use go.bat for any bios flashing just edit .bat and change Bios name you want to flash

PS :

you can use it for all bios flashing videos other boards ....

example : for Ati4890

change command line to

atiflash -f -p 0 4890.bin

save as go.bat

copy and paste 4890.bin + atiflash.exe in your bootable usb drive

and flash your card

**cheapseats** · 09-22-2009, 04:07 AM

hi guys, i changed from DFI T3eH8 to E760

started with s618, now on s61A

s61A (17 sept)

231x19 boot 231bclk

QPI compensation Less (>222bclk or POST is slow)
QPI vcore 1.10V
IOH vcore 1.10V
pcie 105
clock skew 100ps (>225bclk or POST is slow)

s630 (14 sept)

232x19 boot 220bclk (max for boot)

QPI compensation Less
QPI vcore 1.35V min
IOH vcore 1.40V min
pcie 105
clock skew 0ps

or you use the follow code in the go.bat

awdflash %1 /sn /cc /cd /wb

then type "awdflash biosname" for flash.
no edit go.bat for every new bios.

Can you post your bios settings please? I tried 21x223+ but my SATA driv became so slow I could not boot to XP.

Awesome!
Yep, settings please!

**woffen** · 09-24-2009, 08:01 AM

The E760 will work with a C0 stepping 920 right?
