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.

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

what gives .............

[ThreeDhero]

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.

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

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

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 .......

Get banished 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.

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

[Splave]

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

[ocgmj]

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