Thank you so much Jacob and EVGA! I really appreciate the work on the BIOS and the fix, which works for me.

I am going to do more testing, but it appears to be resolved.

You have scored huge points with me, kudos!

+1 Agreed!!!

I still have the last bios update for the i7 920. S2Z1 I believe.
I have 3x 7200rpm Seagates in RAID 0. Would it be worth it for me to upgrade?

Try Disabling "Hpet support" and "run vga bios on resume" in the S3 options. Then adjust windows power options correctly for sleep mode. Then it should work fine. I've had a few problems with S3 not working, but I am always able to tweak it and make it work. Maybe I'm just lucky.

is possibile to fix the colboot bug that give me FF instantly on post screen and mb don't boot anymore? Coldboot bug with phase change (SS), without it the mb can start normally (xeon w3570)..
 
I haven't tried the rev 82 and 81, but nothing...

So I went from v75 BiOS to v82 today. And now for some reason, my i7 930 is only reporting 2 cores. Reports 2 cores in bios, windows, and cpuz

wth?

Start a new thread in the X58 section. Have you checked how many cores you are using in the BIOS? I can't remeber where it is or what it is called of the top my head.

Thank you Jacob, and all of the EVGA bios team. This bios is the one to rule them all! Thank you for continuing to support the X58 platform. It's still the chipset of choice for me, because of feature set. You guys are amazing!
 
Next up, EVGA X79 Classified *fingers crossed*. Just please make it 4 way capable (2x NF200, unless intel decides X79 is worthy of PCI-E 3.0, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen), EATX (or whatever you guys call the larger ATX, but not quite EATX) Just not XL-ATX. I can't wait for an X79 board that fits in an 8 slot case with 3x geforce cards plus room for an full sized RAID card. *please no more wasted slots on top like the E762*, an onboard X-Fi chip would save a slot too! Wishful thinking, I have no idea if it's possible to layout a PCB like that, but it sure would be awesome!
 
Anyways, Thanks for bios 82!

Got myself a scare when I tried to flash the 82 BIOS. For some reason the AWDflash was not able to recognize my BIOS chip as the EEPROM info would not display on the flasher screen. Then immediatly I heard double beeps and a message saying insuffiscient memory. I ended up resetting the CMOS. Did a couple of reboots and finally managed to flash... This was weird.

 
Damn! That's a bit scary, AWDflash worked for me. I'm glad you got it worked out without the need for a new bios chip!

Yes! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make the voltage throttle down when using manual Vcore and speed Stepping. Ive been dying for this for almost 2 years now.

 
Agreed.  I've stayed away from all the latest BIOS releases because of this issue. I'm still on 59 where the throttling works great. I'm not having any issues at the moment, and not running SSDs in RAID, so it's not paramount for me to flash.  But I usually like the latest BIOS on my machines.  I leave this rig on 24/7 and the need for speedstep and voltage throttling is important to me.
 
I like what I'm seeing from EVGA's BIOS team.  The X58 is growing near EOL, and it's nice to see there are still rolling with the updates.

59 works with manual vcore and throttling? I tought this was an issue from original bios... Can you confirm?

Yes...confirmed.  With manual Vcore set along with Speed Step Enabled, the multiplier is reduced and Vcore is throttled down at idle.

Sorry for the bit off topic on this thread.

Guys the throttling issue is only on classified boards for some obscur reason... People have been reporting that it works fine on other boards.

I've added this to the BIOS Changelog for the E759 Classified Limited Edition Board (<-link), in case you want to check out the notes and links for current and past BIOSes, both official and beta (Twenty-Nine of them and counting...) for this great motherboard.

 
 
Thanks Davabled,
for taking the time and posting changelogs on these bios updates. It's really appreciated

Awesome news!
Anyone notice any voltage requirements changed from this bios and bios 80? Just finished finding my lowest voltages for my OC, wonder if I need to re test it (doubtful since the microcode hasn't changed).

Nahh I have not seen any change on my side going from BIOS 78-80-81 and and now 82. The voltages remained the same.

Classified only issue, E758 does not
 
So far BIOS 82 working great on my E770, E760, and E759!!!

Does the 82 bios still allow wake up  from S3 with SP1 on a 980X  as the 80 beta bios does? Now that I can wake from sleep I am hesitent to try the 82 bios if this doesn't work.  I read in the threads on the 81 bios that some people seem to have problems with it.
Thank you
