Default Worth picking up a Classy 4 way?

Is it worth picking up a Classified 4way at this time? Or should I wait for something else?

It looks like a great board, if you can afford to fit 4 GPU's on it go for it.

I want to try something else than the E760. E760 cold bug really low and have less bios options. The 4way is more suited for Gulftown chips.
My uncle is in Taiwan for two weeks, I told him to check the prices for a 4 way if he got the time.

did you move the X-Jumper into the left position? Mine boots a 920 at -67C every time.

Looks like a sick board ....

Wondering if there are new boards on the horizon aimed at the gulfy crowd though ???

Not real up on the way cold stuff as I just have an SS

But I have been under the impression it is the chip cold bugging not the board or do I have this all wrong as I have only been in this situation once with a 920 on Dice ....

That was on a 760 BTW

Good luck with it if you grab one .....

could be your chip itself kriz, MY 960 on the 4-way wont cold boot any lower than -48c exactly.

The extra options do help it seems (although I have no idea what they do, just copied shammys settings rofl) also the molex for more stable pci-e slot power is a nice touch.

^ from my testing -30C was a no go unless the X-Cool jumper was in the proper position. Also that molex is there to feed those hungry NF200 chips no?

Thanks for all the answers guys! It could probably be the chip, but we know that 4ways are the best overclockers so far. And the E760 is getting pretty old, and I can sell it with good benefit without loosing too much on it.

Yes, I always set the board ready for sub zero cooling with bios options and X-cool.

But is there any new 4 way board on its way from EVGA? Cause I don't want to buy a brand new Mobo for a lot of $$$ and they release a new one two weeks after.
