My Brother bought some CPU parts from an IT Guy that died. He brought it to me to finish putting it back together. I have built my own rigs and have a TI1080, etc. So I get to putting this together, looks like a x58 Classified with no display ports. Nice rig. Missing RAM, but I had my old RAM lying around so I put that in. I put my old 980 card in, no display output. I put another card in, still nothing. PCI power ports are all plugged in. Card lights up. Fan spins. I checked all connectors to both cards. Connected multiple monitors, nothing. Cannot detect signal. This Mobo doesn't have it's own display port apparently, so I'm at a lost here. Any Ideas? Attached rig.

Welcome to the EVGA forums  I have the same board, looks like you have the ram placement messed up... This is a triple channel MB that takes DDR3. Use ONE STICK (matching DDR3) in each of the (3) RED RAM slots and dont put any in the BLACK slots. *if your not sure about those "old" ram sticks, just use ONE DDR3 stick in the first RED slot closest to the CPU to get the system booting *you -can- run the DDR3 in dual channel mode (see the manual, first TWO red/first TWO black slots closest to CPU) but for getting the system up just use the red slots for now. Be careful! these MB's do NOT read XMP correctly, so you will have to set RAM voltage/timings manually  *Note: I now have a EVGA 1080Ti SC2 currently installed in mine, works perfectly

Red slots are (3) channels for DDR3, the Black slots are the same for a second channel You "may" be able to get the system posting by using one stick of DDR2 in the first RED slot closest to the CPU If that works, add a second stick in the second RED slot. If that works you "may" be able to run in Dual channel with sticks in the first two RED and first 2 Black slots (closest to CPU) But--> start with just ONE stick in the first RED slot next to the CPU to see if the system will post to BIOS *if you can get to BIOS, set RAM to "dual channel mode" and manually input ram volts and timings to what's printed on the sticks Remember these old systems link RAM and CPU memory controller directly. You should read up so you dont set your RAM speed/or Volts to high (if the sticks are newer)

DDR2 and DDR3 is "keyed" differently. You shouldn't be able to install DDR2 memory into a DDR3 slot without breaking something. I hope you are wrong about it being DDR2 and I hope even more that you didn't break something.

Thanks. I got it working by taking two of my 8gb corsair vengeance sticks. I had to put them in the slots away from the CPU because the cooler is blocking the ugly ads spine of the vengeance sticks.

It also looks like your CPU cooler is blocking those first red and black RAM ports. maniacvvv

That looks a lot like my setup - only I'm in a Tt Level 10 GT with a 970 and a 560 Ti 448 Core installed.

Lol. Odd, didn't see this when replying to the previous post.

Yeah I was typing up a response like "I just said that" lol. The smaller regular shaped RAM fits OK. But the Corsair vengeance with the extended spine don't. Not sure why Corsair does that, I'm wondering if it is an ornamental or functional design.

It was DDR3, but only 2GB. Weird though, when I got it up and running with the 8GB RAM I was able to swap it back to the 2GB and it works.

Yeah, the Classified 3s are finicky. I've managed to avoid all memory problems by using only the red and a matched set of triple Channel Mushkin. But this board is showing it's age....
