UnOfficial EVGA X58 Classified Owners Thread

[radaja]

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

yep,if it works and is convenient then im all for it

whats the best bios for the E760 when running elpida hyper MGH-E's?
from what i can tell from reading the thread s61j seems to be the best?

[OC Nub]

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

I use one of those orange TT fans on my nb, very loud but an awesome spot cooler.

If you got the board used was it tested for max bclk? From what it sounds like it does the same thing my rex3 does, at 215bclk or higher it is very flaky. Also sounded like you were in slowmode but you have qpi freq set to fast. Try running some 3D, like 06 and see how it does. I lost performance at 215bclk on the r3e.

[radaja]

i thought i almost had it figured out.i was able to run normally with the vtt/cpu pwm at stock
byt running x17 uncore.at x16 is when the issues showed themselves.but im still experiencing
strange issues with consistency.after failed OC i clear cmos and get a screen saying this
and it just hangs until i turn it off and clear cmos again.hitting delete does nothing with this screen?
also i get sometimes the normal first boot screen but where it says memory testing the numbers go carzy (i guess its testing memory)but it never stops
until i reboot?

[OC Nub]

I get that screen also after a bad failed oc, or similar. Mine says no keyboard detected.....press F1 to continue lol, Del to enter setup. I hit reset button a couple times and that doesnt fix it I clear cmos. It doesnt recover as well as the Gigabyte, but I really like this board a lot.

[quattro_]

i see a lot of people setting the CPU PLL VCore and IOH PLL VCore @ 1.5 , i keep it @ auto which is 1.8 IIRC is that ok or should i lower it to 1.5 ?

my setup : E760 Classified - 980x - 6gb Dominator GT 1866c7

[Bullet92]

1.8V is default so yes, it's ok. Sometimes lower value gives you small gain but nothing special. It's more important to lower it when you go with subzero (read LN2), but if it works the same on air with 1,8 and 1,6.. why not?

[radaja]

yes, i know, in fact i've always used less, but with this particular board if i want high BCLK i need auto.

i found my problem and it seems to be the opposite to mafio's MB
i can now run with vtt and cpu PWM at stock with both my i7-920's
but i need these to be set to less for anything above 200bclk
CPU impedance - less
QPI signal comp -less

im 100% stable at 21x 215@4505 and absolutely no weird issues i was experiencing.
but if i reboot and set these to auto it starts up.

[OC Nub]

Nice work radaja, glad you figured it out.

i forgot to tell ya about that setting

glad you figured it out
as soon as i get my psu back i'm joinin ya

[OC Nub]

Got it to boot at 4920mhz 4cores 4threads, better than my ud7 did.

nice OC OC Nub

do you run with vdroop or without?
without is LLC enabled correct?
at lower voltages with out is similar to level 1 LLC
on my gigabyte MB but once i go above 1.43v the drop
in load vcore is huge.but i dont like how with is like level 2
slightly higher than whats in bios during idle and load?

[OC Nub]

Thanks radaja.
I have been running it with vdroop, I dont like the way it over volts either when using without. Would be nice to have 50% or LLC1, maybe EVGA can call "kinda without" lol.

[kagula323]

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

Yes it fits ... but only if u set it facing down ... so it will be blowing the air to the top of the case

[radaja]

Thanks radaja.

"kinda without vdroop" is perfect for LLC 1 and "without vdroop" LLC 2

We have Classified3! My Classified(1 or 2? :P ) is going back to EVGA for RMA.

So, that CPU and QPI Signal set to less really helps on the BCLK wall?

hope you get a #3

yes signal to less does help

[Mafio]

could help, but it's not sure...maybe your mobo like less, maybe not.
mine with both auto boot at 245 BCLK, with less no boot over 180 BLCK.
but maybe that's another problem of my second crappified....

[kup]

Cool. It fixed my wall instantly. 218 MAX on 5 boards and now with that one change, 220 Folding/Priming. Cheers guys!

EDIT: 225MHz and still Folding/Priming.

[radaja]

kup,could you fill in the template for 225 bclk for me so i can compare
other templates and see if i can figure out how to go above 217bclk.thanks

Trying WPrime 8 threads, cant seem to get over 4800mhz. this was my best so far.

Hi all.....

OC Nub please.... could you fill in the template for your great bclk....

Hope that helps ya dude. My VTT and a couple of voltage can happily be lowered but I've not got round to testing fully yet.

[radaja]

thank you much kup
just to be sure,you only need 101 pci-e?and IOH/ICH I/O (1.6) is 1.60v? or 1.16?
going to give it a go and see if i can figure this out

[kup]

Like that. And yeah, only 101MHz PCIE so far.

[OC Nub]

Hi all.....

OC Nub please.... could you fill in the template for your great bclk....

THX....

I will have to try it again, I am bad about saving settings so Im not sure what everything was set to. I know I had CPU Impedance and QPI signal set to less and went up a notch on both VTT pwm and CPU pwm Freq. Vcore and VTT were pretty high but the exact value Im not sure.
