EVGA X58 3X SLI Classified LGA 1366 Motherboard Review Comment Thread

[crispex]

So I'm ordering the non-NF200. I'd rather not deal with it. Plus, it's cheaper for a potential performance increase. What's not to love?

Thanks for the help, all.

(Sorry about the hyperventilation thing, there. )

did a small session tonight that was suppose to be for testing memory - which didn't work out - so plan B was to get some clocks settled for a 9800GT SLI run on LN2, well that didn't work out as i insulated the wrong slot on the Classified and the card wasn't being recognized. soooo, plan C was to run some 06 and get the GTX 295 running at high CPU clocks. there was a small issue when Bojangles and i tried a few days ago. needless to say...i got it sorted

good for 6th globally for single card 06 at HWBot, and so close to a global top 5. here is the ORB link...

and the screen shot...



so it just goes to show, when things go terribly wrong, you can still get something accomplished if you have a long enough list of stuff to do

Okay 3oh6 you talked me into joining this obviously exemplary forum , as well as purchasing the non-NF200 Classified. It arrived yesterday much to my wife's chagrin. I am expecting an i920 and a kit of RAM in a week or so. Hopefully you can give me a few pointers when I get it up and running? :help:

Which version of the GTX 295 has the GPU default clock at 594MHz?

sounds good...you know the thread to come to when you get it all running

this is just a plain EVGA GTX 295, not their + version.

Yeah thanks 3oh6, I finally caved (months after having my 965????) and bought a Mobo, the non NF200 of classified of course... should look snazzy with my redlines etc, now I need to decide on video cards... lol I swear if it wasn't summer and I wasn't completely girl crazy I'd have done this build months ago!

NCIX got a good deal on the NF200 version of the Classified, 920 D0 and Corsair Dominator 1600 right now. I'm close to ordering it NF200 chip or not... but If I didn't see this trend it would be alittle easier. Damn small print

Wow, good deal.

[rjbarker]

Thats an extremely good deal!! Considering that Mobo is around $530 and that RAM was $289 only a few months ago!

As well as the DO stepping holding a premium price.
