EVGA X58 Classified (E759) - BIOS 44 Released

This BIOS is ONLY for the EVGA X58 SLI Classified Motherboard (part number 141-BL-E759- )

BIOS 44 Updates:

• Supports 32nm Desktop CPUs
• Added "Turbo Performance" option (may boost performance if enabled)
• Fixes 1866MHz Memory Ratio

BIOS updating can be accomplished VIA the below methods:

---

CD/DVD Installation - Recommended installation method

• Download the following .iso file E759_44.iso
• 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

---

USB FLOPPY Installation - Recommended installation method

• Download the following executable:  E759_44.exe
• 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

---

USB Flash Drive Installation - Alternate installation method

• Download: E75944.bin
• Visit this thread and follow the installation instructions. (thanks 30h6).

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

Haha, beat the release here http://www.evga.com/forums/fb.ashx?m=161367

Can you tell I'm bored   Gonna flash now.

Edit: Flash went good.  Already ongoing testing on my OC profiles.  Not seeing any differences from 43 beta but I was not expecting any.

I doubt it seeing as how he stated with the beta that there will be no support for the new xeons.

For me would be the multiple pumps it takes to reboot when having virtualization on. I haven't seen other motherboard take so long to boot up just because virtualization is on. The computer pump like 3 times till it finally turns on. Very annoying, plus it does it even when restarting it turns the computer completely off as if I shut it down then it restarts just because of virtualization.

This is normal, when you see other boards that do not take as long are they X58 chipsets? The X58 chipset in general does take longer to post than previous generations.

My Asus 785G AMD Motherboard shuts off on soft reboots. Annoying and scary as hell when your water pump shuts off for a few seconds. But I was wondering if the memory ram voltage reporting problem has been fixed yet? Where the e-leet over estimates the actual ram volts or possible board supplying 0.05 volts than necessary?  Also what is this new Turbo performance setting?

Thanks.

Can you comment on what Performance mode is?

Thanks.

It may improve performance slightly in some cases, may affect your OC ability in others.

And how does it accomplish this? Inquiring minds want to know...

Thanks.

I haven't woked on other x58 Chipset motherboard then EVGA :) but I have woked with older chipset boards and they don't completely shut off when using virtualiazion in Windows 7. I didn't know it was normal for x58 to complete shut off when virtualization is on. Thanks for clarifing it for me Jacob :)

hi sorry for bootup screen the size is used up and we ran out of space to put logo.

So no more bootup logo screen then? If so please remove the option. Also, how come when I am overclocked to 4.3ghz the bootup screen information it shows as 4.16 instead? Thanks.

it reports without turbo at post and then you are looking with eleet or in bios with turbo enabled and it shows turbo speed. maybe this is it?

Yes, it seems like it. Cause its 20*208=4160mhz which is what is showing while I am booting up. Eleet shows the correct speed 21*208=4368mhz. I have the option "turbo preformance" on too.

Ok guys, really this is not normal.  You need to stop singing this tune.  I am typing this on an Asus R2G system right now with VT enabled and no the board does not power cycle at reboot and yes the VT is on.  Same with the R2E, the Gigabyte boards, etc.  I tried them all.  Only board that I know that does this is the Classified, in my case the E759, I have not tried other EVGA boards.

Can you please fix this?  This is the only annoying thing remaining on this board really.  It forces me to disable VT for day-to-day unless I absolutely need it since reboots and boots in general are sooooo slow.

does the turbo performance still increase AUTO voltage by about 0.1v?

I reported in the 43 Beta thread that my system with everything at stock and AUTO set for vCore sets the vcore 0.1v higher than it should be when "Turbo Performance" is enabled.  The usual voltage is 1.29v but with "Turbo Performance" enabled a voltage of 1.40v is set for AUTO.  I do see the 26x multiplier more with Turbo Performance enabled but i really dont think an increase of 0.1v is necessary to keep this stable.  intel CPU's are designed to run 1 core on the +2 bin with the rated voltage.

EDIT been reading the 44 BIOS thread for the E760, seems this 44 BIOS is just as bad as the 43 Beta, people still having problems with th Memory Multipliers/Ratios.  Guess i wwill give this one a miss, pitty as i really wanted to use the Turbo performance feature but not at the expense of losing SpeedStep + Cx6 Function (by setting the vCore manually) and i dont want to run with a vCore of 1.40v for stock frequencies, its also not worth losing the ability to run high speed memory.

Come on EVGA you can do it, role on 45 BIOS or whatever they decide to call it, probably not 40-something so its not associated with this failure.

With some bios options the board wont boot.
One of those settings is VT
fans and lights are on, but on/off/on/off........
Untill you plug the powercord for a few, then it boots up normaly.
Very anoying.
