[Build Log] kiki's first "NEW" motherbaord..

[kikicoco1334]

so i am spamming again now..
yeah sorry kal...



but yeah..
here is the list of my motherbaord i have had during the year of x58 life\

when i very started out
1. i got my i7 both the chip and the intel x58 motherboard from a intel emp site and after selling everything it came with on ebay i end up making like $100
2. after selling the intel pos board, i ebayed my first gigabyte motherboard, GA-EX58-UD4P, after a few weeks of playing with it my friend asked me if i can get him one, so instead i just sold that same board to him for the price i paid for
3. i really liked the GA-EX58-UD4P, with the money my friend gave me i got the same board only lower price... got it for $100 (that's what my paypal saying)
4. i don't know how long did i use that board, i got sick of it.. so sold that board on ebay too... for around $190 something, then got that GA-EX58-EXTREME =) it was awesome and all.. but was not the best
5. i keepet looking as i was on my EXTREME.. and found this ASUS P6T V2 for $123, and everyone on oca went off on me and told me that i was an idiot and sale the stupid pos, so i did, and sold it for 187.50 so that's $63+ =)
6. after that i didn't give up, after days and days of looking i found this Rampage 2 Extreme board, it was 132.. i though i got a really GREAT deal.. NOT! turned out it was a pos too... after days of getting bitched at + few days of running on it, yeah it was not the best thing ever... it's good, but wasn't great so as up to last night my 0130hr, i sold this motherboard for 185 on ebay, so after paying ebay and shipping that's around 170ish...

and now...
Intel DX58SO
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P
Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME
Asus P6T V2
Asus Rampage II Extreme

so that's 6 different X58 motherbaords...
and i am just sick of looking for a motherboard and not beable to be happy with it...
so now just about 40min ago i just spent my paycheck and got this EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI for 379.99 and there is an 100 MIR
i think it's a really great deal, and it looks great and it's got life time warranty on it

279.99 what's with free shipping
i am done here
and this is gonna be like a build log post for me..
i wil be posting picture and ALL my question for this board..
so please help me out thx.


EDIT: BTW THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST $$$ PART IN MY COMPUTER =)

Congrats on the purchase man. I still think Classified is in the mix for top board even after so long. I think you will love it.

[kikicoco1334]

Yep make sure and register it. Also couldn't hurt to apply fresh TIM on the heatsink. That's about it.



Hey man do you care if I move this to the public area of the forum? It is a build log after all. ;)

I get usually free shipping from newegg. UPS ground service. and If I order early enough in the day, it is in my hands at 4-5PM the next day. (thats when all UPS deliveries come in my area) no membership required :)

But I buy from wherever is cheapest usually and thats not amazon 99% of the time

hey kiki

what happend last night with the board? did you rape it? lol

[kikicoco1334]

i some what raped it lol
then i was running a bench and i ran out of dice in the middle of a 3dmark i was really pissed
oh well...
i'll try do again prob sometime before i send the thing back...


just for the guys didn't know..
i am not an ass that uses my parts under extreme condition and send it back...
that's wrong..
but when i got this board it was already been open and used..
both inside and outside seal is already broken and finger prints all over it and missing things...
and the cd and book it came with are for some other evga motherboard..

sorry can't bench tonight got girls to see!

[kikicoco1334]

what or which overclocking software should i use on the x58s?
cuz i can't seem to get the setfsb or clockgen to work on it...
idk...
i monna see if i can get a little more dice to bench it..
btw just real quick..
damn! the i7 eats dice FAST!

[DrNip]

What mobo as some have their own overclocking software or hardware for overclocking?

[kikicoco1334]

i got the E762 evga

[DrNip]

EVGA EVBot.

http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=100-EV-EB01-BR&family=Accessories%20-%20Hardware&sw=4

Sux that it is $100. You sure SetFSB doesn't work on that mobo? I know on the 759 it did. I used SetFSB more than I did my EVBot.

[kikicoco1334]

then what is that board it comes with that's extra?

the thing that's under the ext. usb/firewire




what clock gen should i try?
cuz sometimes it just locks up and restarts when i try every clock gen

[DrNip]

Excuse me, I used SetFSB on my DFI and Eleet on my Classy. Have you tried Eleet?
