So you just left everything on auto while using your dfi board? Seriously...share.

Only prime95 testing I did I it was at 200 BCLK with a 21 mult which netted me 4.2ghz. Here is what I used:

1.25 vcore (1.2v stressed)
1.56 dimm
1.23vtt
1.11 ioh/ich
1.10 ioh analog
200 bclk
100 pcie

That was all and those were the only volts you had to jive with on the mobo. Ran for hours at this. I think around 6 hours before I shut it off. I really don't get too much into prime95 anymore as I pretty much run my rig at default speeds everyday unless benching.

Oh and RAM was at 1600 at 6-7-6-18 1T.

Yeah it seems like running less ram takes a lot of strain off of this platform.

BTW my cpu is a barely younger brother to yours at 3845B260.

Oh yeah. I did that prime at 3 gbs in. The higher I run my RAM the more vtt I have to feed it. I think on the DFI, to run the RAM at 2000 I need almost 1.39v vtt. I can't verify that personally but cstkl1 over at i4memory has done some extensive RAM testing on the DFI and came up with that.

Once I get everything situated, benches complete on the Classy, less work in my personal life, I plan on finding a nice lil overclocked setting for my cpu and ram. I would like to get my ram around 2000 mhz. Prolly cpu at 4.2ghz. My new set of ram is 6gb's.

My voltage requirements went up quickly from stock but I did set my ram voltage to 1.65v right out of the gate when the beating commenced. At stock speed mine would prime until shut off at :

.960 vcore
1.215 vtt
1.5v vdimm 7-8-7-20 1T 1600mhz (rated spd/timings) 3x2gb kit. At 180 bclk it would prime the same timings at 1.65v 1800mhz.

Don't get me wrong. The classy is over shooting my vcore big time as at 1.16v I can do 4ghz. My DFI defaulted me at .96v as well. Whether it was stable I dunno as I didn't prime it but could only imagine so as it was default settings.

Mine actually defaulted at 1.248v on the bios that it shipped with, I just worked all my volts down to see what it actually needed and have since flashed the bios.

I apologize guys for draggin my feet on getting my threads started. Between two jobs, lack of sleep, quality time with the girl, master bath remodel as well as a few other problems my time in the day is little. I know punx, I am still trying to call you too.

Here is a pic to answer the question of how it fits in the standard tech station. You can see it overhangs about an inch on the RAM side. That is all. I know, I am using the SLI bridge off my LanParty. What can you do?

Here is a shot of the RAM. I need to get a better camera.

Here is another lil preview on the RAM. My 2000MHz run before was actually at 1.71v. What I have figured is whatever setting you use in BIOS/Eleet is really .06 more in real world. So a setting of 1.65v in BIOS/Eleet is really 1.71v real world. I wonder how many people overvolt their RAM thinking they are using 1.65v when really they are using 1.71v? Here is a run with it at 1.59v BIOS/Eleet and 1.65v real world.

You got to love the Overclockaholics desktop!

I have some 1760 CL6 6-5-18 1T runs under my belt. Tryin for 1800 at those speeds. :D

More to come, just got to bare with me. I am so dying to put this thing under DICE.

Damn nice lookin rig Nip!!

Nip are you going off software of the read points? I find the board does overvolt, but not .06. I'd have to remeasure to tell you the exact difference, but it's something like 1.65v bios/eleet = 1.662 with dmm. So ~ .012v

Yep. Goin off 3 different utilities. They all read the same. I will pull out the multimeter to see. If this is true then I am runnin 2000 at CL7 7-7-20 1T at 1.58 somethin volts! :D

Even better. Just know that those read points are tiny and you gotta have the leads dead center to get the right reading. Try and see how long you can look at the meter and keep them leads on those little pads. :rofl

I'm pretty damn good with my hands or at least she says so....

hahaha

Well multimeter confirmed that the utlities are correcto. 1.59v in BIOS/Eleet is 1.65v in Windows for DIMM.

Nothin the matter with runnin Vdimm a little hot on the classies nip. Most of us over at NBOC run our Vdimm at 1.7 (actual)or so. Helps to get up around 2150 cas 7 on our EE's.

Oh I will run that high when benchin if not higher. I was ruinnin at 1.65v or 1.59 BIOS/Eleet for my Mushkin review.

yeah i have seen 1.7 to 1.8 on the classy, actually higher ;)

I've had it higher. Like 1.85 or so. This isn't a worry of mine.

:eek: your a NUT!!!!!

j/k ive had it up to 2.0 but i do not recommend for your golden chip :cool:

but we dont care about the ES's :rofl:rofl:rofl

It ain't overclockin if somethin doesn't break, pop, crack, smoke, catch on fire or all the above!

qft, did you get the 759 or 760. I have an extra ECP module if you got the 760

759. :cool:

awesome man, limited edition. You going to frame your cert?

Be nice to her... shes limited

Came with a certificate? JK, no. They say she is limited but will see.

Believe me.... it is limited... as in gone!!!

Looks like I got in at the right time. Guess I need to look in the box as all I pulled out was the mobo and CD. Didn't look at anything else. I guess that is apparent by me still using my DFI bridge and Sata cables.

hahaha lemme know if your missing anything and ill get it sent

yeah limited edition as in what will evga send us when we push them over the limit and kill them?

Actually if I can impose...When you and I spoke about my probs with my classy a couple of monthes back and they sent me a new replacement, I ironed out the probs solo and sent the new board back unused a couple of weeks later. They were supposed to put the EAR back up or at least the option to purchase another one, and it never happened. Would ya mind arranging that for a bro?

send me an email at srobb@evga.com ;)

we have some set aside for that kinda issue ;)

Thanks for watchin my six bud.

lol but they prolly wont last forever ;)

Nah, I was referring to the EAR, much appreciated dude.
