Iam testing the new bios 77 with my 980x on SS and works great

Damn c5 awesome job.

Hey Cryptik, 1.45VTT and 1.68-1.69vdimm, I dont normally mess with memory to much but this board seems to do very well.

[kup]

How ya getting on, Radaja?

[OC Nub]

latest version of AIDA64 recognizes the board now but the voltages are still way off

[kup]

My Classy just suffered the dreaded "FF" bug...!

RMA time...

[CryptiK]

kup - Remove and reseat your BIOS chip?

[kup]

Yeah, didn't fix it. I was suffering from a no gpu load kind of glitch so I rebooted. One of my 460 powered the fan fan slow (normal) and one at full speed. I've got to try one more time and then it's off to EVGA if they'll take it.

[OC Nub]

@kup: That sucks about your board.

Is this common problem with Classified boards?

[kup]

From what I can see it's not a common problem but it is a problem...

[kup]

Classified3 ordered.

[OC Nub]

Congrats, but still sucks you have to repace your board.

[kup]

Yeah. Stupid bug. I'd attribute it to some sort of chipset failure as it doesn't register a lack of ram, gfx or even CPU. lol It happened directly after both of my gfx failed to submit to any load (F@H) for no reason. I assumed a reboot would fix it. Wish I'd just left it running now. :/

[OC Nub]

Took the 930 out and stuck this 920 in that has been in my UD7 for a long time. Will see if I can lower vcore later but this was the first boot with this chip in this board.

Good enough for me, will try and lower vcore.

That is a niiiice random test.

How are you liking the 3?

[OC Nub]

Thanks.

Man I hate to speak to early but I love this board, it seems to be pretty awesome. Just hope its as durable as my UD7.

HT disabled, single 460 this run.

ok i finally got my E760 somewhat figured out.

finally you low voltage freak you lol

[OC Nub]

Nice job radaja, your voltages look great.

[Mafio]

hey, radaja, pay attenction at that high PWM frequency.
the mosfet and chockes that hold the VTT voltage become really hot even with the CPU at LN2 or SS.
i wouldn't imagine with water/air cooling.
plus i'm not sure that you need it that high.

thats my problem with the vtt pwm and cpu pwm at anything but what i have set,everytime i boot at 215 my bios screen appears
with just a thin blue line then the full bios screen shows up and same with my windows version choice screen(XP or vista) it appears
real slow starting from the top and wipes downward depositing the screen,then when in windows(if im lucky) everything is stuttering
and choppy.with it set like i have it its normal and instant(bios screen and windows selection screen just appears like normal)
i have AC blowing directly into a box where my MB is with fans blowing over the cpu socket area.i think my temps are decent
after 1hr 20m vrms and Nb never went above 30c.but i will keep an eye out on the heat and try to see if i can figure something
out where i dont need to have vtt and cpu pwm frequency set so high

my cooling solution


closed with AC going in,and AC into RAD


i get stuck at this screen too which just hangs until i reset

[Mafio]

loving ghetto stuff like that
i thought that you use a case like many of the guys here, that's because i told you about VTT mosfet/chokes temp.
with this solution probably their temp is in the safe range.

p.s. maybe would be better switch to a SS/water chiller, the power consumption should be about the same but the temp would be much better

edit: i see in your signature that you have a 3x2 gb kit of STT 2000 cas8 just like me.
can you run them at rated speed super-pi 32M stable?
i've alot of problem when using DRAM multiplier different to 2:8, at frequency higher than 1700 MHZ i get ONLY freeze or reboot when doing 32M.
with many other kit i haven't problem to run about 2400 MHZ 32M stable, but with elpida hyper RAM i've always problem.
kingston hyperx 2000 cas8 MGH-E works a bit better but over 2020/2030 MHZ they go just like STT over 1700 MHZ.
to be honest this is a bit frustrating...i need to test them with another board, maybe a gigabyte ud7 rev 2.0

[radaja]

yea i have a corsair 800D and an antec 900
but i like my homemade bench table(MB box)
and cover(cardboard box).so easy to switch
out gear
also i dont have to worry about my box getting
scratched up.

i love that case

i will make one next year

you should get the fan blowin straight into nb

[radaja]

you should get the fan blowin straight into nb

i tried it blowing directly into it but temps were now different.the orange fans run at 4900rpms so its loud and blowing like crazy inside

[Expat GriZ]

radaja......you are a GHETTO gangsta!!!

[batmang]

So can someone confirm this for me... does the Noctua NH-D14 NOT fit on the Classified 3's? (without modifications)
