What is VT ?

Its Virtualization Technology and there's a switch in bios to turn it on. For multiple OS applications.

No, it's for running an application in a "Virtual machine." Has little to do with "multiple OS" - when referred to as different multiple OSes. If by multiple SAME OS, then yes, that description applies; but the avg person reading your reply is not thinking you mean this.

It is for when you want to run an app without allowing it full access to your whole real OS system. One would do this to test what a virus would do for instance. It just so happens that other OSes can also be simulated. Think of it as like running a car on a dynamometer to test real-world situations and stress, or to take engine measurements under load. It is running Windows 7 within Windows 7 for instance. Programmers use it for testing debugging their newly made code - without the bugs bringing the whole OS down.

I have to wonder why some would upgrade to this bios. Best I can tell the only thing it really offers is a correction in the uncore reading  with a 980x processor.
For that reason I elected to not flash to this particular bios as I am runing a 920 cpu...

When i enable Turbo Mode my memory goes to 1415mhz...What is that ?

That locks your memory multi. Don't use it if you're overclocking. Read post above you.

@ EVGA representatives:

• VT "double-pump" issue (I need VT all the time, and it's really, really annoying)

• S3 resume issue(s)

6-core Xeon Support (W3680)

Against the FAQs, installing a x1-PCIe-card in a x8-slot currently causes the corresponding x16-slot to fall back to x8 (not sure if this can be fixed, as onboard-components like LAN/Marvell SATA/etc. use PCIe-lanes, too)


An option for taking influence on the ECC-behaviour (which #SERR should be asserted, what to do with single/multibit errors etc.) would be nice; this option should only be presented when an ECC-capable CPU is installed; doesn't your SR-2 MB have such an option?

@ EVGA representatives:

When will you start addressing "real" issues?
I don't care about overclocking, for me it's all about stability. I'm sure that there are a lot of others who also think that a board has to be rock solid and technically mature, before the manufacturer should put so much effort into overclocking.
I bought an E760 because of official support for Xeon-CPUs and therefore ECC-memory-support (which - according to Everest - seems to work), as well as the awesome board layout. Overclocking capabilitys didn't play even the slightest role in the buying decision.

The most important things which are pending to be fixed/implemented are as follows:

• VT "double-pump" issue (I need VT all the time, and it's really, really annoying)

• S3 resume issue(s)

Please comment on the status of each of these issues, and when people can expect it to be fixed.

Thank you!
