Bout to jump into the P55 club and see what its all about :) .
First impressions are pretty cool. Take notice of the onboard
voltage reader that connects directly to the motherboard and
displays voltages on an lcd poster. Aint that just cool shat?

Comes with the normal assortment of classified goodies we've
come to know and love. The post code lcd, adapters, bridges etc.

I was just gonna mount and run but looking at the sticker located
on the cpu socket "Read before mounting cpu" sorta says
"Hey Jackfruit, read the manual this time eh ;) " so thats
what I'll do this time out.

Looking forward to posting my progress with this motherboard and
a i5 670 processor. :thumbsup:

Thays cool beans Supes!!! Can't wait to see what u can do with that monster!!!

[punx223]

you will love the integrated volt meter as you can read voltage from ANYTHING... gpus or anything

[Neuromancer]

Aww look how cute and tiny the chipset heatsink is. Looks like a baby compared to the X58 :)

Seriously though, give it hell Kal, rack it up and make it hurt

[karmakazi]

beautiful board!! lets see 7ghz :D

[Assassin48]

beautiful board!! lets see 7ghz :D

I object

I need to see atleast a 7.12ghz on that :laughing:

QFT :) was very helpful with my 8800gtx vmod, was nice not having to rig a ground into an open pci-e connector and juggle everything else.

[RomDominance]

Just remember Supers that the 670 scales with cold, not voltage. I heard it but I wasn't listening the first time around....thus one dead 670. Now I know better.
Definitely do the cbb mod and slowly take her to higher voltages while lower temps. My phone is always on bro if I can assist.:keeporder:

It's the only way to learn buddy. Just start pluggin in the numbers YOU want to try and find the sweet spot from there.

[Kal-EL]

Hey, uh, I'm sure this will come as a major shock to most of you :P

SSD's operating systems are very corruptable :shock:

Started screwing around with mild overclocking and poof~! My os went to see the wizard. I was a jackfruit and didn't image the install too :shock: Ah, still pulling rookie mistakes pullhair

Posted a couple BONE STOCK runs in first post.

[Kal-EL]

This seem like a good chip?

[Splave]

looks decent kal! like 17 boints?

[Kal-EL]

No sub's yet, I ramped it up to 4.9ghz on air last night. I looked at the bot submissions and it looks like everyone is running 1.5 thru 1.6ish for 5ghz and beyond.

[Kal-EL]

Not sure how this compares to other cuz I haven't bothered researching but at first glance it looks good for just air cooling, no?

Smart man, "it keeps the votage off the chip" (while on air, lol)
Unfortunately efficiency means little until you put her under extreme and find out if you chip has the flu or not. http://overclockaholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1774

Well, I like to see if she's a misbehavin wench or a plays by a book. Seems theres a pattern to her already which will come in handy during the scaling process. Long as she don't freak out at -32c I'll be happy.

[Neuromancer]

Low voltage type was 1.88V
High voltage type was 2.07V need

Holy crap!!!


Kal I changed my mind, 5GHz on air is sweet, even if it is only a dual core ;)

[Kal-EL]

Thx Rich, seems like a nice air clock for the temps.

I caught some nasty "18" post codes today while sneaking in some bench time. Freeze in os, freeze while os loading. Date/time reset on bios to factory. Badness all around, had a feeling the cpu was headed to the grave or there was some sort of short somewhere.

After further inspection, I determined the h/s mount was a lil un-even. After straightening her up, everything returned to normal. This board/cpu is very sensitive to pin pressure. FYI.

[Assassin48]

has the "burn in" been solved ?
haven't kept up with p55

[Kal-EL]

Not sure, I believe it still exists.

[Kal-EL]

Trying to catch up to rickss on his H20 :P

looks good kal! fyi rick is on a sick chilled water setup

[ReverendMaynard]

lol water cooled is a bit misleading with the rickster.

[Kal-EL]

Haha, another foamer lurking around here being misleading. I just needed a rabbit to chase while on air to familirize myself with the board quirks. Boy am I glad I took the time to hammer at it on air, it should really help when I go subzero.

[Kal-EL]

Still testing the limits of this board in increments. 15L of Ln2 this session. Evbot watched my back and told me "off" when the frost reached the 1st DIMM slot and sure enough there was frost there. Thx Super Evbot!
Using bios A58 with "no" cold bug mod on the board. She boot bugs at around -135c. Voltages used are quite low compared to others at the bot so either there are some lying bastards over there or its just not needed a whole heck of a lot right now.

This i5 670 runs perfectly with nipples hanging out and hard @ -190c. I didn't have a chance to press much past the courtship phase of 6ghz + but its definitely a go go go so far. Next session will push further. Its dry out time. My i7 3570 is still owning this chip in 2D but its still early. Here is the progression so far:

awesome low volts time to crank and hit the x27!

upwards and onwards, hope the board doesnt frost up soon :ohcrap:

[DrNip]

Nice! Congrats on 6ghz + as well as sub 7 super pi.

[Rogue210]

Woot woot!! Way to go supes!!!

[Kal-EL]

Well, Evbot told me off but I decided to live on the edge a bit more and boy she threw a wild fit. Made a few 6250mhz runs and kept lowering the spi times but then I aught a nasty BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! and decided to save it for tomorrow ;) and play it smart :D Tomorrow I'll start treating her like a voltage whore and upping the volts like everyone else. Pretty good progress so far tho, nutting amazing but good.

[Chuchnit]

Amazing speed at low volts Kal! Ride that bitch hard next time!

[Kal-EL]

Amazing speed at low volts Kal! Ride that bitch hard next time!

Yah, I sorta threw some extra vcore at the end to just make sure I wasnt dreaming that she's got alot more in her. Looks about right and looks like I may be able to reach 6.5ghz bench speed. All I have is my dreams :D

We know these chips will take 1.9vcore so even if its exponential between 6250mhz and 6.5ghz, it should still be do-able.

These clocks were at around -175c so I have a bit of cold left to use. On average it takes 15L to walk up each session before the chip and Evbot scream "chill out!"

[DrNip]

You must be having a blast with this. Have you tried pwning some 6ghz 3DMark 01's? I bet you could get some major love there.

I'm having a blast so far :D

I have not run anything besides 2d benches yet, I remember someone here saying something about i5 not being strong in 01, I'll find out for myself at the end.

[DrNip]

Well it never hurts to try. I am sure it is better than the i7 in 01. Then again I could just be talking out the side of my mouth on this.

anything at 6+ ghz is strong in 01 lol. Nice work man.:good:

[RomDominance]

Don't believe it guys....sounds good on paper, but your looking at one Rom who spent 40L at 6.1GHz and a 280 at 975 on the core and couldn't even break 95k in 01. As soon as I put the 280 back on the 920 at 5GHz, pulled a 102k...that platform blows for 01 and aq3....sad but true.

On the upside, looks like youve got yourself a good chip Kal, go get em bro!

[Splave]

yeah I think gutterz beat my 01 with his e8700 on water even against my i7 on cascade! still need a wolfie for 01 pwnage

Very nice thread and loads of good stuff to read, amazing results also :thumbsup:

Have you ever lost any SATA hdd for this combo? I'm trying to troubleshoot some loss I had (3) and can't figure out between the OCied PSU or PCI_e frequency what might be causing the issue (solid hdd led/not recognized anymore).

[Kal-EL]

No sata loss at all or issues of any kind so far with this board.

I'd look at that psu and give it a good thorough checking with a multi-meter. Travis lost a bunch of hdd's to a bad Antec a couple days ago, took out two boards as well.

No worries bro. You just ordered probably the strongest PSU on the market. I'm not sure what Antec Travis was using though. Shit happens and every manufacturer has some kind of failure rate.

I guess some chips like different multis than others. Going to try it out today myself. Whats the deal with the ram clocks on the p55 classy, still garbage?

[Kal-EL]

My chip doesn't much like the single core action.

[Splave]

I just improved my best spi 1m a couple ms with the 28 lol! the 26 goes higher as well

26x247 and 28x231 both worked 90mhz higher than x27 for me

Yes I checked dmm all the way all rails seams ok unless the psu is peaking at some point. 3rd HDD isn't a joke so I will retire this psu just to be safe.

Will go with the Antec Quattro 1200w. :thumbsup:

Testing ADATA's 2200 cas8 4gb kit and so far terrible results using 2:8 and 2:10 divider's (no post on code 18). Looks like this board is ram picky when I stick the i5 in.

Edit: Bios A58

[Hondacity]

the adatas are good.what voltage do you run them at? subtimings?

[Jor-El]

Honda I'll have to get back to you after work. Voltages where from 1.65 to 1.72vdimm using dividers 2:8 and 2:10 none worked after 1900ddr3.

They fly with the p55 i7 2200 c7-7-7-20-62man very good ram but as soon as I stick the i5 hard to get them over 1900...

[Hondacity]

what temps do you have on the cpu? imc needs to be cold to get it running fast...

[Jor-El]

Honda I'm just air testing prior to nitrogen. I just wanna see what are the best tight timings I can get out of them before cold. I see Bryan's run almost at 2000cas7 and I can't even get near that.

So you say it's because it's on Air? I did the same with my I7 860 tested on air, tight timings all the way to 2400mhz+ and it was about the same after ln2 and these ram did really scale nicely.

[Hondacity]

different imc's dude....

also the 32nm cores have picky imc's

Kal, did you see any difference in performance between the several pci_e 16x slots? Did you pick one in particular or all of them are good?

[Kal-EL]

I didn't screen the pci-e slots at all, I just jumpered the excess slots to the off position and used the first slot.

[Hondacity]

p55 ftw :D

i tried the 8x slot....it seemed slower..and stupid anyways..lol

i used the nearest to the cpu...it worked out great...

this was in the third slot

http://hwbot.org/community/submission/974952_splave_wprime_32m_core_i5_661_7sec_578ms

Think they are all the same, I did hear things about switching ram slots adding a couple mhz in some cases though. Worth a shot

[Jor-El]

What's the magic trick to get this board to run 2:8 ram divider with the i5?

I already tried upping vtt from 1.3 to 1.6max with no luck. Vdimm from 1.60 to 1.76max. I also used Hiwa's 9 and 7 on R to W and W to R.

Also what's the pch volts supposed to help with? I see shamino's template asks us to use a 1.45pch but sometimes I lock when I'm at 1.4pch and it seems to me that system works perfectly fine with 1.1 and high mhzs.

[Hondacity]

holy smokes your hardware list is awesome...that aside

have you tried the xmp profile? try that first...

Well I finally got the i5 strapped to the Cascade yesterday and I'm finally starting to play with tweaks. PCMark05/wPrime etc just to see the board reactions before the Ln2.

PCMark05 did really well :thumbsup: Teaser:

resurrected


Been playing p55 for a while today as im out of ln2 and have made some headroom in the Ram department! 2:8 and 2:10 specifically.

Its all in the sub timings. Setting all timings below command rate to 12 and a couple others loosened up a bit (see cpu tweaker screen)



Primary timings are read incorrectly for some reason though, 8 8 8 24 88 set in bios. These settings are superpi 1m stable so far

hope this is helpful as I was really frustrated before as well.

Thanks for sharing that Splave I'm pretty sure I tried it all even settings those to 15-15-15-15-15 but I will give it another go with the cascade and low multi see if I can break that 219blck barrier with 2:8!

[Splave]

will take some bios photos tonight and post them up :)

Splave, Honda, Duke etc what bios are you guys benching with? I stopped on BIOS A58 I think. Just checked eVga website and they climbed all the way up to A70! :shock:

[Hondacity]

i think i'm still using the old bios(a51)..lol i'll try the new one later maybe i'll be able to do 2:10 :D

[Splave]

a70 for 655k support for me. Worked well

1800s even though wprime doesnt matter it was bootable there

[Hondacity]

2:10 or rather 4:20 is working great with the a70

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo

[Splave]

nice honda :)

[Jor-El]

Will I finally be able to run Spi1m and Pifast at 6.9g and using the 2:8 divider?! Have to try this new BIOS.

[Hondacity]

warning...70 i think has a bug...vcore set to 1.9v jumps to 2.1v....

its like the vcore booost bug.....

i'm switching to a58

[Hondacity]

confirmed vcore boost bug...

try 1.5v and watch the vcore jump...

also when cpu crash...you have to fight cold boot bug.....

[Splave]

getting the hang of the classy again :shock:

yay for mem speed

What's your board revision?

[Chuchnit]

[Splave]

Was spi1m able ftw
Max bclk to com

[Chuchnit]

Nice homie. I've had good luck so far on the UD6 with 2ghz+ ram, but mine won't run the timings yours will ;)

[Jor-El]

This ^ I would love to see how this 2:8 strap holds up above 230blck.

Splave I guess you missed my post I asked what's your board revision (it's printed on the pcb close to the frst 3 pci-e slots on the top).

Thanks!

[Splave]

I will check on my lunch :)

[Splave]

alright guys classy wont boot :(

Im getting nothing on the Debug panel and it powers on for 2 seconds than cuts out. Tryed 2 different chips, single channel ram, long clear cmos. nadda

dead?

[Patch]

That's what mine's doing. I also tried different PSU's. Nothing.

If you're really motivated you can do what Kal does and take a long hot shower with it. ;)

I would say it's dead, Splave.
That's what my first P55 Classy was doing right outta the box.
RMA'd it.

[Splave]

poop dick

[GFDuke]

WTF sorry to hear this man. What happened? Anything partucular?

[Splave]

not quite sure was fine, tryed it today and no luck. its all good rma time

[Kal-EL]

Maybe shitty pin contact?

[Jor-El]

K I received the new board and what seamed to be easy on the old one is a nightmare here. I'm trying to update w/ BIOS A59 or A70 and I keep getting this msg over afuwin:

Error: File ROM ID incorrect

???

I'm on stock settings and I haven't changed anything to evga's bios download.

[Jor-El]

Guess I know what's wrong somehow the board A659 was flashed from EVGA w/ the A658 bios!!!!

[Splave]

Wtf

[Jor-El]

Wtf

Yeah man this sh*t only happens to me...

I went to afuwin and on ID it said: A658XXX and my mobo is a Classy not an FTW!!!!

So I booted using BIOS 2 and reflashed BIOS1.

Now it's perfect...

chuckles, hehe :laughing:

[Jor-El]

Well the Indigo Extreme failed so I had to re-start, will probably have some results down by Sunday. I can give more details later but my new career will start soon and I will have less and less time for benching. :-(
