yes IOH v core
On the rig in my sig I run CPU PLL 1.8
IOH PLL 1.8
QPI VTT1.375
QPI PLL 1.325
IOH VCORE 1.325

Thanks!

Hi, guys.
Any chances for evga classified 4 way Sli to fit in CM 690 case ?
I guess not .
Also if there is no chance what about HAF 922/932? It seems i`ll receive an E762 for my dead E760 but it seems i need a new case too .

[justin.kerr]

to utilize the 4 way, you will need a 10 slot case, there is a list on EVGA's site for cases that fit, you can get by with a 9 slots for 4 cards with watercooling

[The_Game]

Well, I just want the board to fit, dont need to use all PCIe slots. I dont want to buy a 300$ case only because of this board is there any cheaper solution, or only these cases are compatable?

Alright, I got to 4.2! Not really far, but at least I figured out what was going on.
I worked out most of my voltages, just making sure about these two:

1. IOH/ICH I/O voltage 1.5V - mostly irrelevant to overclocking, correct? Just slightly affects 3D performance for SLI / Crossfire setups.
   Source: http://www.evga.com/
   

   The IOH/ICH I/O and ICH are not coupled together with the IOH voltage wise so those voltages can be left on AUTO or manually set to their default.

   I left it at 1.5V.
2. ICH VCore 1.05V - I increased it to 1.1 to prevent USB issues.
   Source: http://www.evga.com/
   

   In my experiments, the IOH/ICH I/O and ICH Vcore voltage made no difference as far as maxing out bclk goes. However, I have noticed in the past that some various USB related issues would creep up at the higher bclk and a small increase in the ICH voltage would take care of this.

I ordered my 760 at my local shop and finally arrived yesterday.
Installed TRUE120 pushing air vertically
Got win7 pro x64 on it last night.
setup the programs and games.
Waiting for my watercooling to arrive.

[zalbard]

Just a heads up.
If you want to use CxE Function, I suggest not to use C6.
When I enabled SpeedStep and set CxE Function to Auto after 25 LinX passes, my system started crashing loading Unigine benchmark... Ridiculous.
Started finding out, and ended up with SpeedStep enabled and CxE Function = C3, running good.

Are we going to see something similar to Dynamic VCore (DVID) feature of Gigabyte x58 boards? Would be nice to see it implemented.

[AceBaran]

RMA"ed my rampage 2 extreme.. Got evga classified now.. gonna see what its like !

[AceBaran]

Are the drivers on page 1 up to date couse the only thing i can find on evga site is bios !

[mk-ultra]

http://www.evga.com/Support/Drivers/

select "mainboard" / "EVGA x58 series" then the driver you want to download

tnx man im a idiot for not seeing it

[AceBaran]

well so far i have installed all drivers and run windows index.. cpu went down from 7.8 to 7.4.. gfx from 7.9 to 7.8.. mem from 7.9 to 7.4 and my ssd from 7.8 to 7.4... bummer ?

Edit: ssd bios setting IDE changed to AHCI and my score went up from 7.4 to 7.8

Edit: Still testing, board seems more stable then my rampage 2 extreme, less volts asswell, much higher bclk overclock, couldnt get past 210 on r2e on 220 with classified atm
1 thing is driving me mad tho, when i set settings in bios, it wont boot.. must clear cmos first, load defaults, then adjust.. every single time arggg

[AceBaran]

Ignore my earlier posts I wasnt familiar with Evga and phoenix bios.. but ive got the hang of it now

I love this board ! i can do things i was never able to do with my R2E..
BCLK 205 was the best i could achieve..
And i love E-Leet aswell

I was always a Asus man, but i think im convinced

Still testing but looks promising altho i have a crap cpu....

[Kal-EL]

I thought I had a crap CPU as well till the evbot slapped it around a bit. Never imagined I'd pull off this kinda blck.

That's promising indeed, I can't wait for my classified to arrive!
But I'll be missing the LCD Poster and all those nice 7 fan connectors on the mobo.

[GTi-6]

I know this would be somewhat noob question but if I go Tri-Sli with GTX285s and Auzentech HomeTheater HD card which is PCI-E 1x, how will the PCI lanes be shared between cards on E760?

You mean that you could not get such bclock with eleet?And how much were you getting?

[AceBaran]

You will be in for a treat... The fan connectors spread on the rampage is indeed alot better.. well cant have it all

Nice Kal-El.. what are your volt settings and temps with this overclock ?

[Kal-EL]

Thx, but its a nubs4life at the controls. We need to refine some settings to get that wprime time lower. Temps are @ -105c. We gave the cpu a lil too much voltage but it didn't mind.
@Phil, we were'nt getting much past 238 with eleet.

[Phil The Greek]

@Phil, we were'nt getting much past 238 with eleet.

Very interesting.Thanks

[sofos1990]

EvBot will be at my home within 2 weeks or so ... I hope
Phil in case you want to test it feel free to ask me

Assuming you were using the top x1 slot for the sound card the split would go x8/x8/x16. That card will not fit the top expansion slot with the stock chipset cooler though.

Thanks for the reply sholvaco. I will be watercooling the board. So Auzentech will fit the top expansion slot. 8x will be enough for GTX 285 but I hope it will be enough for upcoming GTX 300s.
