UnOfficial EVGA X58 Classified Owners Thread

It's most likely the difference between VTT and Vdimm. You should try to up your VTT one or two notches, respectively if that did not help try to increase Vdimm one or two notches instead.

Cool thanks dude Ill give that a try

[Circaflex]

guys will the AuzenTech forte sound card fit on this board or does the NB cooler block it?

[zalbard]

Nope, won't fit into the x1 slot, it's too long. Unless you use watercooling.
And damn, wait 41s between posts, WTH!

This board rocks! I have had absolutely no issues with this as a workstation running a Xeon, 295gtx and 12GB mem for several months. I beat on it daily and not a hitch in fairly heavy graphics and video work powering a 30" and a 24". Medium OC to 4.2ghz with 6-6-6-16 1t 1600 mem, intel SSD, torture rack, water cooled. CPU runs cool at 35C and linx stable. I was quiet on this board for months but now it has passed my tests so I will say cheers to Evga, I am sold.

BTW - it's like the easiest OC I ever had to set up, maybe 2 hours or so to get it right.

These are based on the CWT models which are giving me problems with every X58 board I've used, the R2E suffered the least but the gigabyte and the classy are totaly screwed for me !!

I've tried the following PSUs:

TT tough power 1200 (CWT model)
TT tough power 1500 (CWT model)
Gigabyte Oden 1200 (CWT model)

All gave me the same result.

hmmmm strange i have not one issue with the giga odin(pro) and either of my classy's???

What exactly so rocks about the 550$ you paid for it?
4.2GHz is doable on all x58 mobos.

now that i have read through all 53 (53 pages for me in total) pages...i just have 2 questions...
what kind of over clocks are people getting with these new cpus
batch numbers starting in:
39xxA
39xxB

and how high are they over clocking
that is without ln2/phase change/le/dice
so air/water/chilled water. anything where the temps cant get far below zero..so the base would be 0 degrees C
thanks.

I had a i7 920 D0 3914A, did 4.2GHz HT <1.2vcore on a TRUE 120 with a weak fan. Good day to day CPU.

I have had a few newer batch chips, the seem to overclock 100Mhz-250Mhz lower than the first D0's, for 24/7 overclocks on water.. 4.4Ghz about, low end 4.35Ghz high end 4.5Ghz. Your overclock may vary depending on your skills.

I was reading at the EVGA forums, yes some of the CWT based PSU are incompatible with the Classified " and I had my share of headache with the gigabyte and Asus with the CWT PSU" namely the 1200 watt and the 1500 watt models !!!

[Salamndar]

Guys, when you finish booting into windows, what the POST Code supposed to be?

I've just noticed mine and it shows 22 ?!?!?

[ChaosAD]

Lol mine is 22 too, if you check eleet you ll notice that this is the cpu temp

[Salamndar]

LOL, I was like what the hell is 22 ?

Then refer to the manual I was like .....Ha

[Fitseries3]

Cpu temp

[Salamndar]

Hmm, does the classified overvolts the DRAM a little ?!?!

I set it in BIOS at 1.65 and in eleet it's 1.69 ?!?!

[zalbard]

Dram by 0.02 iirc. All other stuff isn't being overvolted. ELEET voltage monitoring is off.

[ChaosAD]

I set in bios 1.63 and eleet shows 1.69. Even worse

[resident1509]

use voltmeter if you want exact voltages real voltages should be very close to what you set in BIOS. software monitoring can only be so accurate.

[The_Game]

Classified is overvolting only the memory. 1.65v set in BIOS measured 1.68. All other voltages +- 0.01v measured with DMM.

[Salamndar]

Nothing scary, but I expected better from it in this field!

[Ice009]

Dram by 0.2 iirc. All other stuff isn't being overvolted. ELEET voltage monitoring is off.

0.2? Are you sure you don't mean 0.02? because 0.2 would boost it way higher than you'd want.

219 bclk seems to be all I can OC too without PCI-e problems. I have an e760; I have tried both an i7-920 and w3520. Both run Bclks up to 219 with no problem, but at 220 the video response starts to get very laggy and freezes up, and I've seen PCI-e related bsod's. I've tried upping the voltages, qpi, ioh, ich. I've tried throwing in an old vid card (incase it frys) and i've tried pci-e clocks from 100 up to 108.

Does anyone have any tips on what settings need to be tweaked to help acheive higher bclks? Its the only thing holding back my OCs right now; with the help of this colder weather i'm running LinX stable right now at 22 x 219 4.599mhz.

[ChaosAD]

Anyone care to explain a little, if i will have any benefit from inrceasing CPU and VTT PWM Frequency from 800Khz and 250Khz?

[Viss]

trn try pci-e 105~110, CPU Impedance = less & QPI Signal Compensation = less
