I am currently able with my vanilla P6T to enable the 21x multiplier on the i920.

My understanding is that this is also possible on the P6T Deluxe. I have a version 1 coming in tomorrow and was looking for confirmation.

I assume this became enabled through one of the bios releases.

Does anyone know which bios revision allowed the multi to be moved up to 21x?

thanks

21x has been possible since the 13xx BIOS.

But, on the P6T boards, it has a problem. Currently, all the variations of the P6T (except the P6T6 Revolution) are unable to disable the TDP and TDC limits on Core i7, so even if you disable C1E, EIST, C-State and CPU TM Function, if your temp passes a certain point (around 74-ish), or the TDP/TDC limits are exceeded, the multiplier will drop back to 20x, which is way more unstable than 21x, and your system may crash. This is particularly an issue with linpack.
