Come on my fellow monkeys!  Is this new bios a big or
Feedback, please!

Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

Well, I just upgraded now using the CD method and so far so good.  I'm not big into all of the BIOS terms but I realized previously, my RAM ratio was 2:8 (1600 MHz) and now it's 2:12 (for 1600 MHz).  I could be remembering wrong, lol.
 
Edit:  I might try to OC a bit with some help (in another thread).

There is a typo in the link for some of the BIOSes - the underscore needs to be removed
 
For example:
http://cdn.evga.com/bios/E759_77.bin
should be:
http://cdn.evga.com/bios/E75977.bin

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-five of them and counting...) for this great motherboard.
 
For the RAM options, I'd like to recommend reading this in-depth article from AnandTech :http://www.anandtech.com/show/3851/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-sdram-memory-but-were-afraid-to-ask/
 
I'm assuming tWL is a simple Write Latency adjustment, but it would be nice to get a confirmation so we're not confusing terminology - for all I know it could be a Page Limit adjustment.

Double thumbs up from me! 
Both raid rom and the changes in 77 came from the community, so thanks for listening! 
EVGA_JacobF

E762 will be released soon.

We are working on the RAID Rom, may be some updates in next or upcoming version.


Was wondering what changes have been made to the raid rom for the 759? I have bios 59 maybe I'll give the new one a shot!
 
Also speaking of ideas for bios, it would be cool if you could change the blue background color to any color you so desire. I realize that the bios memory is limited so that extra code may not fit or be possible, but if anyone could hack the bios to have a red background instead you would be a folk hero on this site!
 
Thanks.

That'd be sick if you could change the background color. Doubt its possible to do though.

Of course its possible if you know how to code in assembly and a working knowledge of the bios code. I mean if guys out there can hack an iphone os this bios probably could be hacked to put out a red background as opposed to blue. So I declare a challenge and will chip in $10 along with anyone else that expresses a desire for a red background please do the same!
 
Anyhow just flashed without problems to 77 and I noticed that now it tells you the count of how many gpus at post, good for diagnostics, and its a lot faster posting which makes it hard to follow as you have to speed read the screen but good for a quick boot. Haven't tested stability yet but not an extreme overclocker so I doubt I'll notice anything as log as my ram still can operate at 1600mhz with +50 vtt...
 
Thanks.

Updated the BIOS to 77, no big problems yet. Took me a min to get my OC back to were it was with 74. Testing to see if I can lower my voltage with the same OC. Now waiting for the 990x to update my CPU if it ever comes out.

Yea, I've got the same board....
 
I know a lot is still far from perfect. But my board hasn't had many issues/been as flaky as some.

On the Classified 3, still has same problem of FORCING long memory test with no BIOS override. If I let it run, the system shuts down after reading 4GB then starts up in safe mode. If I hit escape, system boots normally. I'm a verteran Classfied user so yes, everything else checks out fine in the BIOS.
 
Please advise! Very annoying problem!

After this update my wireless icon has a x across all of the bars but I can still get on the internet. It is a USB wireless adapter. It will do this no matter what USB connection I plug it into.

Well, I tried this bios on my X58 Micro and I must say, it is a PITA to get the OC settings right  My previous OC settings didn't work at all on this bios (previous bios 73). Had to start from scratch and so far everything is peachy. Voltage a little bit high on my OC.

Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it.

You think its possible that its because my main drive is a SSD ? In my Classified MB I had no problems Flashing to #64 73 and 74, but the Classified3 is a killing me :(

Never load an old profile with a new bios. Write down your settings, clear cmos, update bios and edit settings.
And don´t forget to set your hdd´s to ahci . This happend to me last time. Getting older, like Ned

Re:EVGA X58 Motherboards - BIOS 77 Released Wednesday, November 03, 2010 2:05 PM (permalink)
This motherboard is going be one of those that will get better over time with each bios release. Reminds of the Asus 680i and 790i. It just sucked until the bios releases came out over the first 12 months. Then the motherboard became really great over time. I'm not dumbing more money on a new motherboard just to OC. The other things I didn't like with this board was QUAD SLI support it was the worst to date for an EVGA product. My old Asus 790i was better in 3-way SLI/280FTW's then this board ever could be even now. Also, memory 12GB Corsair is still very unstable at even 1600MHz. I'm still getting black screens with no windows loading on bootup which is a hit or miss in the dark because when it happens I have to reboot. I now only run one EVGA GTX 295 because I didn't gain anything from Quad SLI.  System runs cooler and games are just as fast with one dual gpu card setup then it was in Quad SLI which I'll note was a waste of money. Driver support from NVIDA still is no good in Quad for me. I'm dropping NVIDIA once ATI comes out with their 6990 Series cards.
Had a long run with NVIDIA but I want to try something else that's dual GPU that might run even cooler and better then NVIDIA.  I think over time SLI/Crossfire will fade out and newer, better technology will replace it in the years to come.

Well, I tried this bios on my X58 Micro and I must say, it is a PITA to get the OC settings right  My previous OC settings didn't work at all on this bios (previous bios 73). Had to start from scratch and so far everything is peachy. Voltage a little bit high on my OC.


I noticed this as well.... still tweaking my settings....

Manually set the voltage you had on your previous bios OC settings and work your way up on the CPU speed you had before till you reach the settings you are happy with. As of now, I am up to 3.7Ghz with 1.28vcore and 125+ VTT. It is kind of high at the moment, but it is stable enough to play BF BC2 3hrs straight with reasonable temps.

Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.
