I hear that, I've kinda gotten into a rut as far as Evga goes. Probably time to try branching out. I'll feel like a kid without my security blanket.

Peace, Chuck

I checked the EVGA website every night until... suddenly the Classified was available so... I BOUGHT ONE!! Got number 0167 of the limited edition Now that they're gone and I'm pissed at my R2E I wish I'd gotten two :(

At the same time, I was watching the the 285 hydro coppers that were also "coming soon" but had totally talked myself out of buying them... too much money. Then one night I checked and they said "BUY NOW"... SO I DID So much for self control :(

What about a 780i nightmare ??? I have one with a little Q9450 C2Q on it that I was thinking of watering and tri sli'ing to see if I could get boints out of it ... second time I've heard tell of this nightmare but no details :(

Do know it took me 3 tries to finally get a board that worked :p

I had both the 780i and 780i FTW both working and fully functional with a C2Q Q9550 @ 4.0Ghz, but the performance was lacking beyond words with TRI-SLI GTX280's. There was such a hinderence in performance from what I guess was memory and C2Q not being able to let the GTX280's stretch their legs. Not something I was happy with I sold a GTX280 and kept two ever since, but upgraded other stuff in the process.

I was thinking of using 3 old 9800 GTX+ I have sitting around with the 780, may not be such an issue then?

Which version of the Classified you use? There are so many!

I am waiting to get my hands on a 760 one and see if it's worth all the fuzz...

I haven't been subzero on the classified yet, but I find it a very user friendly overclocker. Ya just gotta take it slow and steady. Could be your chip too???

Yeah I guess it could be the chip, but from 4.2 uncore to 5 uncore is a big difference. You think it's suzero temps?

The Classified is great I have no complaints or regrets. Best board I've own to date.
