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!

A thing of beauty :D Now make it a thing of bot destruction! I think with this, you should be able to defeat Ahmen-ra! :trophy:

Got her on the table installing Windows7 now. She booted at least which is always a great sign. Going to be just playing with her for the next few days to get the hang of it until my new RAM comes in then its pedal to the metal!

Oh and I lapped my TRUE yesterday. Temps were down an average of 4-5 degrees all around. :D

Here is my stock settings. Got to love those low volts. No VReg temp probs here as my 2 - 38mm San Aces keep that in check. Stock TIM job on mobo too. Looks as I have no need to change that as temps are fine or at least for now. Might re-TIM on down the line. CPU temps are down after TRUE lapping. At these volts I was crusing 38-40's before lapping. :D

Looks good bro. I wanna see some pics of that on the tech station. I wonder how it will fit since its almost e-ATX?

DrNip 06-13-2009 06:14 AM

The mobo fits just fine except on the opposite side of the station to the GPU bar. It over hangs about 1". I have the standard size station so I am sure on the larger version there wouldn't be that over hang. BIOS is a lil different than the DFI but along the same lines so training is over. Unfortunately my time has run out for today as I have to go start on that remodel.

I have a feeling somebody is dying to order a Classy. FWIW the non nf200 board is in stock at the egg today. Honestly Jeffro with more peeps playing with their boards, it looks as if they are equal in overclocking. Plus you have those x2's so the non nf200 will prolly do you better. With the 759 model you will be going through three bridge chips to render images. That's just extra latency. If you were gonna game with them 280's then I'd prolly want the 759.

Jeffro64 06-13-2009 08:56 AM

Yeah... I can't find the nf200 board anywhere anymore. 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!!!

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.

Jeffro64 06-13-2009 09:10 AM

Oh I like the 3D benches too.... just haven't had much time and was just trying to test and dial in some settings on the AMD rig at higher clocks. 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.
