The 758 is missing a ton of options in the bios. Classies are better built all around and have an ass-load of options to choose from. e758 = gamer, Classified = bencher. :thumbsup:

To bad you had a bad experience with the 758 ... it is what is in my grinder ATM

Seems to be fine up to 230 ....

But the Classy is in a differet league all together .... IMO

Have to beleive it will eat the UD3's lunch

edit:

Wait a minute you are an eVGA Enthusiast:blink:

what gives ............. :laughing:

EVGA Enthusiast, I was till I had 3 RMA's with the 758. It should have only been a one time RMA, the mobo they sent sent me died within 2 hrs of booting into windows. Not to mention I have 3 260's, I've sent my 260 SC in about 3 times and can't get a card that will oc past 700mhz core clock. The first 260 I bought clocks to 830 core on water.

The bad part about buying a used Classy is they won't RMA if needed. Unless I buy from someone willing to do the RMA. Also if they find vasloine in the socket its another $30.

first of all... yeah wont rma second hand... YES


as for vaseline... why? i havent used vaseline in a socket for a long time.... theres no point to it man...

Man bro and I thought I had bad luck with hardware ..... :blink:

O well ... you might get banished from the team sporting a Giga ............... :laughing:

Seems like if you want a preformance X58 you have to pay through the nose unfortunatly .... paid 4 bills for my Classy new .... but worth every penny .... ripped off like 900 boints with it so far ..... my RMA is in the mail .......:blush:

Always thought that was a must do? Even when using a chiller you dont need jelly in the socket?

Get banished :ohcrap: noooo what would I do then? lol maybe join the OCA ;), my focus atm is Hwbot. Whatever hardware for a decent price that can produce points is what I'm going after.

If I went for broke on the mobo it would have to be a new EVGA 4-sli. Shammy has tons of bios tweaks and updates over at Kingpincooling.com.
900 points :cheers:

I never use Vaseliene in the slots... but I am only on a single stage

But love it for 3D ....... Hassle free ............

one hand for dicing the GPU pot and one hand free for alchol consumption .... FTW :laughing:

I have run SS, DICE, and LN2 all without anything in the socket.

if you are good at prepping and sealing around the socket you wont need anything in the socket

I can concur, countless ln2 sessions no vasoline in socket ever I hate that shit gets everywhere. Only place i do it is lightly in PCI-E slots when benching 3d cold

Same here hours & hours of cold and no KY in the... oh I mean Vaseline in the socket. ;)
