Congrats duder, your gonna love it with the DO. Slots to 110% is the trick for the super high bus speeds, although you may have to go to a w3540 or 950 to get the 5.4 you seek.

Is that Shannon (P223) I spy bugging you?:alien:

I am the dude with one of the cleanest, sexiest rigs youve ever seen.....
Seriously, don't feel dumb P223,....
You really shouldn't remember me, but we had a great discussion one afternoon on evga tech line reguarding probs I was having with my classy when it first arrived. Wouldn't boot in HT no matter what....later, it turned out to be that sata port bug. One thing led to another, we started smack talkin about bot with eachother, I warned you about NBOC, and you told me your handle on 411.

The empire always remembers those who do us right and more so those who do us wrong.:alien:

ahhhh now i remmeber... damn dude nice to see you guys moving up the charts, last time i talked to you, you guys werent nearly as high up as you are now. nice work!! :cool:

Millimeters away from sig'n it in NBOC....:alien:

Oh yeah it arrived. Still sitting in the box. Just ordered my Mushkin Redline Ascents today. I have two jobs now, my fulltime and my newest partime. Between the two I don't have much time anymore. I am going to try to get some test runs done on it this weekend but also have my master bathroom remodel going on so I might not get much done until I finish that project. Got to please the girly 1st. So far my drnken ant likes!

Thats OK Nip.... I have the large Tech Station, so just send the Classy to me and i'll take good care of her. :D

I talked to EVGA and they told me the two boards will OC the same and there was no difference as far as that...But I did order me a 920 D0 and a Gigabyte UD5 to play with. :D I'll see how the UD5 handles OC'ing and maybe later order a Classified, i'd still like to play with one of those for sure.

But I will soon be i7!!!

But yeah, that's what I told Frank when we were discussing boards... I can go with the UD5 now and play around with it and if i'm not satisfied I can always try the Classy later. Besides... I would have had to wait longer if I went with the Classy now. I just hope I can find a nf200 board when I do look to buy one.

Jeffro, I was having a discussion about you a couple days ago. I actually said the UD5 would prolly be the best board for you. You seem to like 2d benches ALOT!! The gigabyte board won't hit the huge bclocks as the classified, but it is way more efficient; aka you will get way better scores clock for clock in your wprime, spi, and pifast. :D Plus I think the gigabyte has the most practical slot layout for a gaming purposes than all other i7 boards.

I can back that statement up fully. Clock for clock, the Gigabyte X58 boards beat up everything out there. If you plan on hitting 210-215 max bclk the UD4/UD5/Extreme are the boards to use.

The super pi efficiency on those giga boards are almost scary. If it wasn't for the uber extra clocks the Classified can get, the giga might be king right now. Some people are able to get nice efficiency out of the Classified too, but it's usually uber memory sub-timing tweakers that get it. Or maybe they have a Shamino's personal phone number. :cool:

Originally Posted by Jeffro64 (Post 4596)

LOL... I guess that would be a good number to have. Although I think if everyone on the team here talked more and shared info and helped each other more than we do now that we would see some really good scores come about. I really like this board and our team and will work hard to help us move up... I got a lot to learn but i'm getting there! Once I have a better understanding I will give back by helping out whenever I can... although I can't imagine ever knowing as much as some of you guy's do, I'm just a backwoods country boy LOL.

The eVGA vanilla board runs the same as the Classified efficiency wise. I just ran 06 4.5 HT on, cpu score was 7600+. On the Extreme same bench at 4.4ghz scored 8400+ on the cpu score. That's a huge ding on the total right there. I do find the eVGA is a bit better at 32m pi, but gets spanked in everything else by significant margins. Which brings me to a point lol. The Classified and it's relatives are awesome boards, but there is a shi* ton of automatic subtimings being loosened at the IMC/QPI level to achieve the high bclks we're seeing.

Well Jeffro the problem is a few things. First, with your problems hellcamino is the only one that could remotely help you with AMD clocking. I sure wish I could have helped more, but that bios looked like chinese to me :rofl Another problem is time. I have tons of ideas for guides and such, but I am very limited on the time I have to do them. Really its a learning process for me too. I just search the net for all these tweaks the "honorable" guys won't share cause they make their living doing this.

I haven't been able to bench much lately either, but when I do I try and take notes. Thats so either if I have time, or if someone asks, I can post my personal settings.

Now for the biggest problem of all. We are a very small team. 13 hwbot members to be exact. I love it that way, but that means the probability of us having the same board is very small. Therefore the settings are somewhat useless. Yet have no fear because it looks like this forum is going Classified drunk :D We should definitely be able to help each other out now. Then you and Frank are going to have the same board this time. That's always a good thing to have two or more members with the same hardware. Just give it time buddy, and I'll contribute what I can to get some valuable info on the board soon. Hell I gotta get back to the 32m guide and redo the whole thing. :rofl I just don't think those results are accurate and I don't wanna mislead you guys.



Oh go ahead and keep bragging about getting paid to play with uber hardware all day :p I'm telling you bro. You are in uber shape to keep pushing the buttons to be sponsered with atleast a couple free peices of gear :cool:



hahaha I'll give him a call later :rofl

Ya that is a rather large difference considering how weighted the cpu score is in 06. Like I said there have been some people post up some really efficient scores up. Either they know what some of those confusing settings do to tighten things back up, or they are getting supplied with modded bios'es.

I hear ya bro, I know you have your hands full right now... Just so everyone knows i'm not by any means saying there is no help here on the board or the team, What i'm saying is it would be nice if there was more time for us all to talk and compair. Frank has been a lot of help to me on making a little sence of this AMD bios (THANKS FRANK!) and it will be nice having the same board so we can compare and tweak when time permits.

I reread that post a couple times before I replied Jeff. I know what you meant by it. Over time we will get some more content up though.

:rofl You and Frank have spent many hours on the phone trying to figure your AMD out. That's an understatement too :)

meh im not bragging about playing with the hardware, though it can be fun, but im just tellin ya, these e760 and e759 even with quad 295's in vantage were almost identical scores ;)
