Question to all P6T Deluxe V2 owners...

[003]

I have a question to all P6T Deluxe V2 owners with a Core i7 920 or 940. If you have a 965 this question does not apply to you.

If you have the i7 920, does the BIOS let you use a multiplier of 21, or otherwise provide any way to have Turbo Boost always enabled?

If you have the i7 940, does the BIOS let you use a multiplier of 23, or otherwise provide any way to have Turbo Boost always enabled?

Hi
If I set everything on auto in bios, I can select enable or disable to turbo boost. And then I get 21 and 22 turbo boost. i7 920.

22? How?

But, it does not let you actually key in 21x for the multiplier, correct?

What you are asking about is whether P6T has an option to override TDP/TDC limit for Turbo so that turbo can stay permanently on. Simple answer, no, it does not. Only R2E board has this feature as of 1104 BIOS. It's been a long time coming for R2E too.

Now, on the note of the 22x multiplier, this is only available if you are using a single core and again, it is a turbo feature to boost one core only.

Has anybody tried flashing the P6T Deluxe with the RIIE bios? Like back when you could flash the maximus X38 to rampage X48?

Im bumping this tread since we have several new BIOS releases, and im sick of the multi jumping all over the place.

21x multi is weird, and 20x is utterly crap. If Asus does not fix this very soon, im getting an EVGA or DFI board. I paid $380 (2600NOK) for this mobo, and i expect it to do the job.
Asus knows how to fix it, but they dont seem to think that a $380 motherboard deserves this feature. If I have to switch to EVGA og DFI beacuse Asus is beeing lame, im not buying anything Asus again.

You can also use any Gigabyte EX58 board, all of them disable the thermal limits automatically starting with bios F5 or F6.
