You should have checked first before pulling trigger. Now you done shot yourself in the foot.

For me would be the multiple pumps it takes to reboot when having virtualization on. I haven't seen other motherboard take so long to boot up just because virtualization is on. The computer pump like 3 times till it finally turns on. Very annoying, plus it does it even when restarting it turns the computer completely off as if I shut it down then it restarts just because of virtualization.
This is normal, when you see other boards that do not take as long are they X58 chipsets? The X58 chipset in general does take longer to post than previous generations.

Im sorry but what issues were you looking to have fixed?
Ok guys, really this is not normal. You need to stop singing this tune. I am typing this on an Asus R2G system right now with VT enabled and no the board does not power cycle at reboot and yes the VT is on. Same with the R2E, the Gigabyte boards, etc. I tried them all. Only board that I know that does this is the Classified, in my case the E759, I have not tried other EVGA boards.
Can you please fix this? This is the only annoying thing remaining on this board really. It forces me to disable VT for day-to-day unless I absolutely need it since reboots and boots in general are sooooo slow.
So then the power cycle thing is *NOT* normal then? on other X58 board? So Jacob if dejanh is saying other X58 boards that have VT enable do NOT power cycle every time the syster is restated then why would you say its normal to your customers? Since is NOT normal to power cycle just because you have virtualization on then should this be fixed on our expensive motherboard? I think it should and really you guys shouldn't be saying its normal to power cycle the system when restarting if other companies motherboards do not do that at all as pointed out by dejanh.

Yes this BIOS supports all previous CPU's they just added additional support for the 32nm CPU's, its not a specific BIOS for those running 32nm CPU's.

Thanks Molten, I have a lead on a CPU to purchase, but considering whether to wait for the release or buy the ES. Since we don't know what the final stepping will be. ie: A0, A1, or B1.

I dont think the official launch of the 980X is that far away (or the 970), if your going to drop that kind of money on a 6core i would wait until they are official released and avoid ES's, its not like they are any cheaper to buy than a retial one will probably cost.

XMP for memory seems to be set at a lower number.
I have XMP selected for the memory. (Mushkin 998659 PC3-12800)
Before Memory Clock would boost up to 800 MHZ and the Memory Speed would read DDR3-1600 (as I recall) but now the Memory Clock reads 638 MHz and the Memory Speed is DDR3-1276. CPU FSB is the same at 160 MHz.
These are the readings in Everest.
I have gone back into bios and it does show XMP for the memory in the Frequency/Voltage Control Section. I realize that some recommend using the actual settings for memory but I want to keep it simple.
Am I missing something?

Am I missing something here? I cant flash to this BIOS at at all. Am still on the original BIOS I had shipped with the machine so am obviously quite a few bios versions out. Do I need to flash to and critical earlier one in order to flash to this on?

Shamus, did you try the CD route? Save the iso link to desktop. Then use Nero or something like it to make an "image" on a CD. (just copying and pasting will not do it.) Then restart the computer and start hitting the delete key until bios starts. Then go to the reload defaults and exit/save. Then restart hitting the ESC key and then select boot from CD/DVD drive and hit enter. That should do it.
I think that if your computer is already running fine that there is not much to be gained with newer bios.

Hi mate, no I went down the cd route this time, didnt even pick up on it when i set it as boot. As I have had no past problems, havent bothered with the BIOS updates (been away) however, am having dramas with my ssd's. Have been told because of the new firmware, I should update my BIOS as well as this couls be part of the problem. However, am trying to reinstall win 7 64 bit and get the dreaded "Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing the partition selected for installations. Error code: 0x80070057." am pretty fed up now TBH, just trying to get my system back up and running, its not going to good.....

this is really only a guess and there are people who know lots more than me on this.
What happens if there is no hard drive attached? Does it let you get into bios?

Can get into bios fine, posts and everything, just will not update to this new one which makes me think that an earlier one must be needed. can even install win 7 cause of the error mentioned on my earlier post, sucks to be me

You should have checked first before pulling trigger. Now you done shot yourself in the foot.
Um, I don't know about OC333, but I purchased my E758 on December 23rd 2008, and later stepped up to the E759. When I bought my board, 45nm D0 stepping processors were still several months away, and we still had no word from Intel on what all would be required to support Westmere CPU's.... Saying "you should have done your research" is fine when you're talking about something that could have been researched, but this is not it.

Ahh, but you see you're wrong. Jacob stated when the 43 beta was released that the only 32nm's to be supported would be the i7 980x and the Westmere Xeons were not going to be supported.

At least Jacob or anyone in the EVGA company should tell us that it can/cannot be fixed. Funny no answer yet from Jacob or Evga. I think everyone here would appreciate an answer on this.

Anyone else have experience with the XMP selection for memory in bios like I had? In the new bios it still shows the "target" as being 1600 but Everest shows the speed at 1276. In the previous (non-beta) bios it would go to 1600.

XMP is really flaky in general. I would stay away from it and manually set the speed, timings, and voltages. lcabezas

Hahaha, good luck getting one. I'm 100% certain that no EVGA person will reply here again in regards to the VT issue. This is not the first time this has been brought up. It literally comes up every single BIOS release and every single time they ignore it completely despite everyone clearly pointing out the problem.

I went back to the 227 bios and the XMP memory setting is working again. In the 227 bios it is 798MHz Memory Clock and 1600 MHz Memory Speed. In the 44 bios the XMP setting yielded 638MHz and 1279MHz. Here is the link for the 227 bios if anyone needs the iso version. http://cdn.evga.com/bios/E759_S227.iso

For me would be the multiple pumps it takes to reboot when having virtualization on. I haven't seen other motherboard take so long to boot up just because virtualization is on. The computer pump like 3 times till it finally turns on. Very annoying, plus it does it even when restarting it turns the computer completely off as if I shut it down then it restarts just because of virtualization.
This is normal, when you see other boards that do not take as long are they X58 chipsets? The X58 chipset in general does take longer to post than previous generations.

Still alot of fixes not present.
Im sorry but what issues were you looking to have fixed?
Ok guys, really this is not normal. You need to stop singing this tune. I am typing this on an Asus R2G system right now with VT enabled and no the board does not power cycle at reboot and yes the VT is on. Same with the R2E, the Gigabyte boards, etc. I tried them all. Only board that I know that does this is the Classified, in my case the E759, I have not tried other EVGA boards.
Can you please fix this? This is the only annoying thing remaining on this board really. It forces me to disable VT for day-to-day unless I absolutely need it since reboots and boots in general are sooooo slow.
So then the power cycle thing is *NOT* normal then? on other X58 board?
So Jacob if dejanh is saying other X58 boards that have VT enable do NOT power cycle every time the syster is restated then why would you say its normal to your customers?
Since is NOT normal to power cycle just because you have virtualization on then should this be fixed on our expensive motherboard? I think it should and really you guys shouldn't be saying its normal to power cycle the system when restarting if other companies motherboards do not do that at all as pointed out by dejanh.
No, power cycling is not normal. No other board that I have tried did it.
So... why Jacob said its normal to its customers then? hmmm... not liking that after paying sooo much for a motherboard I don't expect that. At least Jacob or anyone in the EVGA company should tell us that it can/cannot be fixed. Funny no answer yet from Jacob or Evga. I think everyone here would appreciate an answer on this.
Hahaha, good luck getting one. I'm 100% certain that no EVGA person will reply here again in regards to the VT issue. This is not the first time this has been brought up. It literally comes up every single BIOS release and every single time they ignore it completely despite everyone clearly pointing out the problem.
Wow, I didn't know that. I'll take this into account next time I am about to buy a new board. Most of us got it when it first came out cause they were limited edition and paid A LOT for them. I would appreciate if EVGA would at least give us an answer and NOT completely ignore us as if we were stupid and tell us that its normal when its not at all. I don't understand how hard is to get an answer on this. Thanks dejanh for replying.

Anyone else have experience with the XMP selection for memory in bios like I had? In the new bios it still shows the "target" as being 1600 but Everest shows the speed at 1276. In the previous (non-beta) bios it would go to 1600.
XMP is really flaky in general. I would stay away from it and manually set the speed, timings, and voltages.

I don't know about any other x58 boards but I do know every 758 and 759 that I have ever used, worked this way. To date this feature has caused me no issues. If it is so annoying, turn off VT unless that is a feature you just really need. Shannon

I have the E758 and it does not power cycle with VT on. what does make it power cycle is CxE...
But VT on for me = no power cycle unless my desktop gets unpluged from that wall... so much debate over this issue.. disable CxE if it really bothers you.
Maybe its because i have a C0?

Does it really matter that it "double pumps"? Is that such deal breaker for everyone? Do not get me wrong, I am not here to fight or start a flame war but the "double pump" never bothered me at all. Also when I had P6T6 WS Revolution it did the same thing but it would take less time to post with double pump compared to any EVGA board.

Wow, way to polarize...same people that normally scream "what the funk" at the BIOS are now all jumping on the "just turn the defective feature off if it bothers you" bandwagon. Not judgin', just sayin'  In conclusion, VT should be fixed. No reason for it to fully power-cycle the board every time.

No, power cycling is not normal. No other board that I have tried did it.
FWIW, my Asus P6T X58 did power cycle on certain BIOS changes. As an extreme example, setting failsafe defaults is 100% guaranteed to cycle power on every board I've ever used. While its true my Classified cycles power on more BIOS changes than the Asus and that the Asus POSTs faster from both warm and cold boots than the 760, I don't think its accurate to claim power cycling is a problem limited to EVGA boards. Maybe EVGA cycles on VT being enabled/disabled, I also remember the Asus completely cycled power if you enabled/disabled # of cores. Sounds more like a safety precaution more than anything else really.
