BIOS 73 Updates:

• Added TRL setting to assist with memory compatibility while overclocking

BIOS updating can be accomplished VIA the below methods:

---

CD/DVD Installation - Recommended installation method

• Download the correct .iso file below for your motherboard:

         132-GT-E768-KR/TR - EVGA X58 FTW3
         170-BL-E762-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified 4-Way SLI
         141-BL-E760-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified
         141-BL-E759-A1 - EVGA X58 Classified
         132-BL-E758-A1/TR - EVGA X58 SLI
         141-BL-E757-TR - EVGA X58 SLI LE
         121-BL-E756-TR - EVGA X58 SLI Micro

• Use a CD Burning software to burn the .iso image onto a blank CD (Nero, Alochol 120%, MagicISO etc.)
• After it has burned, insert CD and restart the machine, go into the BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
• Now set the CD Drive as the primary boot device, or press escape while the system is booting to select CD as the bootable device.
• After flash remove the CD, and power off PC Completely.
• Turn on the PC and load defaults in BIOS

• Insert blank floppy disk into drive and run executable
• After the floppy has written fully, restart the machine, go into the BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
• Now set the USB Floppy as the primary boot device, or press escape while the system is booting to select USB Floppy as the bootable device
• After flash remove the floppy, power off PC Completely
• Turn on the PC and load defaults in BIOS

Warning:
**Do not restart or interrupt your PC while the flash is ongoing
**Do not Flash BIOS on overclocked settings
**It is always recommended to power-down after flash and Clear CMOS

What does this thing do exactly?

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-three of them and counting...) for this great motherboard.

No nuclear explosions so far, seems to have maintained my previous (mediocre) OC.
3.8Ghz @ 201x19 CPU volts at 1.25625...

I have weird temp issues, but that's a whole another story...

doesn't work my memory still reads 4gb when it should read 6.

Hi....

I had some problem like you a feel weeks ago..

I just bought my new computer and started to build after that my MOBO E756 just read 8Gb rather 12Gb
So i had tested each Ram module following the channel order to detect what channel was't reading the memory.
So I had discovered my last channels 5/6 wasn't working.
I had spent one entire day reading thousands posts when i read something interesting.
Evga Mobos can suffer if the processor has pressure.
I looked into the cooler and relaxed it a little and nothing happened. The system still counting 8Gb rather 12Gb.
Then i disconnected everything including the processor from the socket. I clean some paste from it and put it back , put the cooler relaxed on it (no pressure at all) put the video card , PSU and started to fill the channels:
bank 1 (2Gb) turn on
bank 1,3 (4Gb) turn on
bank 1,3,5 (6Gb) turn on
bank 1,2,3,5 (8Gb) turn on
bank 1,2,3,4,5 (10Gb) turn on
bank 1,2,3,4,5,6 (12Gb) turn on
Then finish.

The magic in relax the processor from the socket and put it back solved the problem. Also I had made all configurations before try this into the bios and never solved until I discover this process.

WARN: this channels order are because my mother E756 (SLI MICRO) requires it, then try to see what channels order your MOBO needs.

But if you are looking for a OC, and in the total memory showed up in standard mode of the BIOS, then you need see the factory range before truy it. Try to see if your memory modules are listed in EVGA memory compatility.

I have 2 kits of corsair gt 2000's no matter what my overclock I always
see 6gb's.

I recently dug out my old elpida hyper kits mushkin and i kept getting 4gb's, then after a few reboots i might see 6. it could just be the elpida hyper sticks death, but I will try this bios and see if it helps, thanks!

This are the memories listed to 2000Mhz comatibility
DDR3-2000 **(needs OC)
Corsair TR3X6G2000C8GT 2GB
in the Corsair Manual says:
Tested together at 2000MHz, Vdimm = 1.65V, at latency settings of 8-8-8-24 on X58-based
Then load the defaults and try this rates manually

Also try to relax the processor (Not the Cooler) like my earlier post. I saw in the thousands of threads that the pressure in the processor can affect several parts of the mobo and severals users had different problmes in memories. I got the problem in the channel 5/6 but i saw users with problem in the first two cannels.

I also read that in start up the mobo try to test the rate of the memories if any problem then the channel is dropped (discarted in memory count).
So try to review your mobo connections. I sugest do what I did. Pull everything out the Chassis and start to build it again.

It's stupid I know I know and I don't believed when I saw it count my entire memory. Later when you get good results try to use memtest86+ like 1 hour to test the entire address of you memory to see if you still getting problems based in pressure.

Some Intel chips just have weak memory controllers too.  Usually when I have the issue of disappearing ram on stock settings, an RMA with Intel fixes it most of the time.

Change the TRL to 0 on the bottom on memory settings in the bios as that fixed my not seeing all of the memory. I bet most of you aren't even checking that setting at all. It worked after I set it to zero.  This bios works just fine for me.

BIOS works, that's all I can say ...does not deal with anything that I care about but I won't go into that (hint, hint, it starts with a Snake and ends with a 2+1)

what does TRL stands for??
looking at the intel spec sheet to understand what it is.

Can you try setting your MCH strap to DRAM Ratio

ill try but its seem my board drops 2gb of memory if i run my memory on 1800Mhz in stead of 1600Mhz what could i do to get around this problem thanks.

So, if you don't have any kind of memory issue, is there a point to this revision?

Nope. Why fix what's not broken?

People, lest we forget BIOS's are cumulative which makes these ongoing arguments moot.

Like it's predacessor, BIOS 70 beta, my voltages with 73 are a bit more stable and temps seem to be a tad lower but will continue to test throughout the day but all is rock solid at same overclocks.

One other item of note, I can now go back to "Auto" setting with MCH Strap and have the proper "Triple Channel" reading once again, whereas before I had to use the DRAM ratio setting with my 4.2 (201 BCLK) overclock.

TRL fix seems to work for me at the default setting of +0 with this BIOS as all 12GB are showing while OC'd, BIOS 70 resulted in missing RAM for me.  Make sure to power down and reset CMOS after flashing BIOS. 

Only odd thing is that the onboard speaker "chirps" randomly, same as if powering down for S3 Sleep.

Not sure as I have not looked at the white papers recently. I don't recall it being in the white papers before, so perhaps Intel have updated. At first approximation, it might be CAS additive latency (just a crude guess), or another schedule offset. I'll have a look when I get some time.
