Thanks...

I just raised the CPU VTT to +300 and uncore stable past 4ghz

i have found the problem for my shutdown-troubles

it is not the PSU!!!

Last night i try every bios setting and found that Virtualization Technology makes trouble.

If i activate VT, the PC shutdown after Windows reboot.

Can someone please try it?

for the pheonix bios this was the only workaround for dfi and evga

it has to shutdown and restart to work.

Hondacity / hiwa / webwilli - Thanks to all for the great tips on how best to flash the BIOS on the X58 Classified!

I'm still on the fence between the X58 3X Classified and the Asus Rampage II Extreme.

Fortunately, this is a wickedly busy period at work so I have another 7 to 10 days to ponder the pros and cons of each before pulling the proverbial trigger. If I drag it beyond that my HAF932 case will literally be screaming at me for the rest of the build.

**webwilli** · 09-27-2009, 07:35 AM

i have changed from RIIE to Classified...

Because i love pci-e layout at the classified.

both are wunderful and good X58-Boards

Go for Classified if you can afford it, you won't look back.

**Splave** · 09-27-2009, 08:12 AM

any more results with the new bios before I flash?

**Neo4ever** · 09-28-2009, 11:33 AM

Hi!
Does anyone have a bios for a760 for q3e2 32nm processors?

**[200]** · 10-01-2009, 01:16 AM

Sorry for the following pics but I am stuck...

I recently purchased a S.S. hoping to get some good frequencies for benchmarking. I loaded up the same settings that I was using for watercooling to get the CPU around the 4800mhz range for SuperPi. Now that I have the S.S. I am unable to push any further than what I did with the watercooling. I tried a few other settings that people have used within the thread but don't have any luck. The highest I could boot was around the 220bclk mark, maximum I could raise was to 229 with the e-leet program in windows.

I am currently using
- Xeon W3520
- Corsair HX1000W
- WD640 Caviar Black
- EVGA GTX 285 (I have noticed that people have been using a less powerful video card, I have a spare 7 series geforce that I could throw in pending suggestions from this post - hopefully there will be a couple).
- 6GB Mushkin Redline Ascent XP3-12800

I have also noticed that my hand controller will indicate -47 degrees but the BIOS will indicate -22 on the actual CPU, is this normal?

Screenshots;

Sorry about the long post but any help would be great... I am starting to think that my CPU may not be up for the task but in the back of my mind I think there is some more tweaking I need to do in the BIOS.

Thanks

**Touge180SX** · 10-01-2009, 01:26 AM

Don't you need to enable Extreme Cooling?

**[200]** · 10-01-2009, 01:57 AM

Nevermind.. All sorted... such a rookie mistake!

If EVGA are looking for a tech support guy let me know.. lol

Was it what I said?

**[200]** · 10-01-2009, 02:16 AM

That and a couple of little things I changed.

Cheers... stuck at 240 now...

**Touge180SX** · 10-01-2009, 04:14 AM

240 is not bad at all!

**[200]** · 10-01-2009, 04:39 AM

Okay, got most of it figured out. Feedback is more than welcome

* EVGA X58 3X SLI Classified E760 with E760S61A BIOS
* Intel Xeon W3520 Batch Number 3845A935
* 6GB Mushkin Redline Ascent XP3-12800
* Western Digital 640GB Caviar Black HDD
* EVGA GTX 285 Superclocked GPU
* Corsiar HX1000W PSU
* 2HP Rotary Compressor S.S. with CPU and GPU head

SuperPi 1M run

SuperPi 32M run

CPU-Z Validator Screen shot with validation link

My BIOS Settings - booted with the following and used the EVGA E-Leet program to raise the bclk frequency

Rig Pics - sorry about the quality, I only have the camera in my phone.

Refreshments during testing...

Pretty happy. I think with some better timings on my memory I could bring the 32M run down a little. I would love to have 100 more mhz, I think I would be on top of the W3520 hwbot 1m and 32m superpi times. I am happy with the voltage that was needed too, I thought I would have needed a fair bit more - quite possible for a higher clock speed...

I hope you enjoyed.

**Splave** · 10-01-2009, 04:55 AM

great job mate, nice low voltage

**The_Game** · 10-01-2009, 05:03 AM

Is IOH/ICH / I/O Voltage helping? I see you are at 1.725V, never tried rising above the default 1.5V.

I wouldn't have tried anything else tonight other than 1.725. I will try 1.5 tomorrow and see if it makes any difference. Worth a shot I guess...

**ReverendMaynard** · 10-01-2009, 05:32 AM

very nice work man, those Mushkins are working well. Any chance of hitting CAS7 on those.

I might be able to. I know that the same sticks have done it in other systems so I cannot really see why not... I can easily do it with the ratio of 2:6 but it gives me a crappy memory frequency...

**[200]** · 10-01-2009, 08:20 PM

This run puts me in 2nd spot for the Xeon W3520 SuperPi1M

**Jakethesnake011** · 10-02-2009, 09:13 AM

Just ordered myself a classified, It should be here before the week's end. I am hoping. i am moving up from a Gigabyte X58 UD5, which was an excellent board, but I need to try the classified and see what it has to offer for overclocking. Any BCLK wall with the classified like the UD5, I couldnt get past 220 for the life of me, and I wasnt going to hardmod the board.

**Splave** · 10-02-2009, 09:14 AM

pci-e 103-110 and qpi sig compensation to less and your golden over 220 depending on cpu. Some need cold
