Redlines would be nice and were suggested on EVGA forums however they are next to impossible to find. The only place i could find them was in the US and with shipping/handling/tax/duty etc they worked out at almost £300 and up to 2 weeks wait to get them here so that aint happening.

Now that you have it stable, do a little tinkering and see if it helps you push it a little further, or if it allows you to lower the VCore, or if it affects benchmarking results:

for your OC, you can probably switch to "Without VDroop" and run the VCore at 1.265 to 1.275 (put it under load, and see what your voltage rises to after a few minutes, then adjust your VCore to the closest setting to what you see under load). As to your VTT, at that freq, you can probably leave VTT at "Auto", with the Classifieds I've played with, I didn't have to add VTT until I passed 4.2GHz.....especially with the Uncore at "Auto" (its fine there unless you are trying to squeeze every last benchmarking point out of your system).

BRB to "3" (This is found under Memory Settings and improves memory scores)
VTT PWM Frequency to "610"
CPU PWM Frequency to "1210"
CPU Impedance to "Less"
QPI Signal Compensation to "Less"

hi, is the BRB setting still in the latest bios as at present I cant see it,

thanks

It's called Back to Back CAS Delay.

It's called Back to Back CAS Delay.

Thanks, but still cant locate it.

Hey guys got a question about the 760 board. What is the slot configuration for 3-way SLI? I assume it's 1, 2 and 4? I am referring to the x16 PCI-express 2.0 slots here.

Also if I use the fourth slot does that mean I need a case with at least 8 PCI expansion card slots? I've got a HAF 932 and that only has 7 so I was wondering if I can even run 3 way SLI if the 4th x16 PCI-Express slot is the last slot needed for 3-way.

[resident1509]

you can run either combo. there are two 3way sli bridges included for each configuration (usually if you want to put a physx card in between)

What do you mean? Can I run 3 way with PCI-express slots 1, 2 and 3 or 1, 2 and 4? and just leave either slot 3 or 4 empty?

What speed do the slots run at in that config? x16, x8, x8 ?

Guys, I need help choosing a new PSU to replace my TT toughpower 1500w as it is giving me a headache.

I ordered a Silverstone ZM1200M but canceled the order because TigerDirect (never going to buy from them again) never shipped my PSU, though I waited for more than 14 days for them to do so !!!!!

Any way, I'm going to buy form Amazon, and I need a PSU that is :

1- Modular or Hybrid modular ( full modular is preferred )
2- has 2 x 8 Pin EPS or 8 pin and 4+4
3- at least a 120mm fan or above, don't like those 80mm.
4- has at least 3 x 8pin PCI-E or 3 x (6+2) pins, the 6+2 is preferred
5- Modular, yes twice I know..............


I was thinking the Silverstone ST1500 or the Enermax galaxy evo ( people say the EVO is incompatible with the EVGAs, is that true)

Peace.

[sofos1990]

You use a previous bios than S61A

Not on my screen,

Pardon me............ but you are still using CRTs

[Raptor-X]

Check your BIOS Rev. Mine is the current S61J

This one showed nice results but it is half modular.
The 80mm fan on it is very quiet.

Just don't use 38mm fans and you're golden. Can use 1 meter tall RAM if you like then.

Are you 100% sure that the likes of the Corsair Dominator GTs,G.Skill Perfect Storms (or even larger heatspeaders) and such will fit with no clearance issues with a True Black or Mega Shadow on the Classy in the traditional orientation with normal 25mm fans in push/pull ?

Reason i keep asking is my last build was hell, for alot of reasons.. and I want this build to go a smooth as it can be, hence asking even more questions then I usually do.

What do you guys think of the Enermax Galaxy EVO 1250w, I heard that Enermax fixed the incompatibility between it and the classy.

I've heard that all EVOs with S/N 95XXXXXXXXX and above works fine, is this true?
If so where can I find one with such a S/N ?

[joezxk]

so nice

Yes, I am sure. I owm Megashadow which is wider than True and G.Skill Trident (very tall RAM). 38mm fans are no go (2mm too wide combined setup), 25mm is perfect with plenty of space.



In fact, even if you're going to populate all 6 RAM slots it will still fit, you will just have to mount fans with something else other than those metal brackets. For True any setup should fit with ease, 3, 6 slots, as long as fans are 25mm. Might fit 3 RAM sticks and 38mm fans, but no promises.

No idea, really.
I went with Corsair myself due to the excellent quality and the premium service. My HX1000 has done a great job so far. But your call what to pick.
Antec 1200 PSU should be even better if you can afford that.

Hey can anyone please answer this question I posted earlier? It seems like a simple question for those of you that own the board. Thanks.

1,2,3 = x8,x8,x16
1,2,4 = AFAIK x 8,x8,x8

[Ice009]

1,2,3 = x18,x8,x16
1,2,4 = AFAIK x 8,x8,x8

Thanks. Are you 100% sure about those numbers? Anyone else care to comment.

btw the board I am getting is the 760 version.

[Boyu]

For E760
PCI-E x 16 slot 1 = x16 bandwidth (x8 bandwidth if PCI-E x16 slot 2 is occupied)
PCI-E x16 slot 2 = x8 bandwidth (if occupied, drops PCI-E x16 slot 1 to x8 bandwidth)
PCI-E x 16 slot 3 = x16 bandwidth (x8 bandwidth if PCI-E x16 slot 4 is occupied)
PCI-E x16 slot 4 = x8 bandwidth (if occupied, drops PCI-E x16 slot 3 to x8 bandwidth)

[blindfitter]

sorted guys thanks for the help.

salamander, yup its a crt, benching test rig!
