UnOfficial EVGA X58 Classified Owners Thread

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

Ah, yes, sorry, my bad, I'll fix the original post.

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

Seriously its overvolting memory? Not just a reporting bug?

Memory pwm is indeed overvolting... the BIOS/Eleet readouts are quite spot-on.

[Salamndar]

Man, this onboard audio is so crap on the classified !!!

[H2O]

Is this enough to request a RMA, or should you just undervolt the RAM? I'd hate to kill a $280 set of RAM.

Can someone check the vcore as well? I've been noticing a ~.02 overvolt on the vcore setting, and I'm not sure if it is a software error ir if the motherboard is actually overvolting.

EDIT: It seems the CPU VTT and NB Core are overvolting as well. Can anyone confirm this?

[SAE]

Nothing to rma because of that... it's usual w/classified. You just have to have an eye on the vdimm readout as it's - as i already said - spot-on. Real Vtt is up to 0.1V lower than shown by eleet. IOH and ICH are slightly overvolting, but that's minimal.
Over- or undervolting boards are never a cause to request an rma - it's normal as parts tend to differ within a given margin. I even noticed changing psus often does influence voltage output as well.

i have also noticed the overvolting of memory, I have my memory in bios set at 1.62; and with vdroop on even at idle & load my memory is at 1.66V

Yesterday i mount Classified 760 with 920 D0.

Excelent results for the moment, 3.6ghz 1.17v and 38º IDLE ( here in Chile is summer time!! really nice 25-28º degrees celcius on ambien temp :cry ). I promise post at night with linX and configuration SS.

Its the complete opposite here in the Northeast USA my ambients drop nearly to freezing if I leave a window open!

[Dahaka]

At least i reach 223 bclk so i'm happy now

What hardware and cooling TOOL?

[Salamndar]

Any one having issues with the on board Audio?

For me the audio quality is low, Bass is low and volume is so low !!

[kpablo]

For all those saying dimm volt are overvoltaging... have you guys measured with a voltimeter in the measure points on the board?

I did. On my 760 classified when I set vdimm at 1.60v on BIOS, DMM shows exactly as bios hardware monitoring, 1.65v. Overvolt for me is around 0.05v.

[Dahaka]

What hardware and cooling TOOL?

920 D0 ( i will post batch later ) + Noctua U12P Lapped
Classified E760
OCZ Platinum 3x2GB pc14400 8-8-8 @ 1.63v
Pcpower&Cooling Silencer 750w
Sapphire HD 5770 @ mod bios.
Win7 Ultimate 64Bits

I put a 80mm delta fan for the NB and VGA on the second Slot at 8x, i don't play to much so is the same for me.

[r1rhyder]

That's one sweet D0 you got there.

Depends on board's parts and psu (rails). Mine is overvolting about 0.024V,

+1

Mine is overvolting by .011 (1.661)

wow, that's a lot. Mine only around 0.02, and it was verified with DMM

Any people running phase change on a classified here? But from a glance it looks like most people only use water or air. I need a board that can break 240bclk and beyond. Current board only hits 237bclk and it isn't high enough.

I use a single stage phase change unit and manage to get 245 x 21 at around -50c

How high did you need to take your PCIe bus? Anything over 107MHz and I lose my soundcard. 110MHz and I lose my ioXtreme. I will remove the soundcard though if need be.

[HelixPC]

Yes, set memory at 1.61 if you want 1.65

[Dahaka]

Crappy OS and crappy config on mems, this mobo and CPU have the enough power to go under Dry ice.

It was at 115MHz.
