there's an unofficial bios from Asus for P6T Deluxe V1, that doesnt throttle. you can find it in this thread. And it seems other 3 P6T's are also getting an unofficial bios that doesnt throttle. just have to wait, how long i dont know.Quote:

Asus has not released a bios that disables turbo throttling specifically for the P6T Deluxe v2 but more than one user here has successfully cross flashed the 0007 v1 bios to his v2 board.Quote:

Thanks Amurtigress. :up:
Can you explain what problem you are having?Quote:
benko: so is there any fix for 21x multi in idle??
If you don't like your multi dropping down at idle then set your Minimum process state to 100%.

If you want your multi to drop below 21X at idle then set this to a low number between 5% and 50%. The minimum multiplier on a Core i7 is 12.0 so it won't hurt to set this to 5%. It can only go so low. If software tells you your multi is at 2X or 4X, don't believe it. Check out i7 Turbo instead.

so 1.55v on vcore is not a problem
lol you ppl are crazy... ok, run your i7 with 1.55v... i sure will not.... unless im using WC :up: or live in a country with sub zero temps, right Gre4ka?!Quote:

try update your bios, if dont have the last one. and also download the latest version of turbov if you dont have it. its worth the try.Quote:

And where did you get bios 0506?
I am running my DDR3-1600 @ DDR3-1333 settings right now because my QPI settings keep reporting 1.375v when the ram is set to DDR3-1600. I can set it to 1.35v and TurboV reports 1.375v but i can move the slider to 1.35v and it'll be stable. Is there a noticable difference between DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1600 that you can see with the naked eye?
I'd like to know that as well, it's not on Asus' Taiwanese FTP site (which I regularly check):Quote:

0506 does not has the throttling fix, crank up your overclock to 21x200~205(4.20~4.30Ghz) and set your vcore to 1.35~1.40v and watch it throttle down to 20x in prime95 or LinX, that's a guaranteed. :D
I own the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2.
Does this Motherboard also have the throttling issue that the P6T Deluxe has?
You didn't read too much of this thread, did you?

Then I guess that this is the last Asus board I ever buy. When you drop $300 on a motherboard, you expect to have access to ALL of the important overclocking features. The Rampage is complete overkill because, seriously, how many people use Tri-SLI? Looks like I'm going back to DFI next time around.Quote:

Other than the throttling issue, majority of the core i7 owner out there (especially those who don't overclock) are very happy with this motherboard. For those who do overclock, again...majority of them are using air cooling and keep their 24/7 at 3.8~4.0Ghz, most of them are not even aware of the throttling issue, from Asus perspective the P6T Deluxe "probably" meant to target the mainstream user who don't care much about exreme overclocking, for that they have the R2E. But for some of us who don't feel like paying upward $400 for the R2E or the Classified, and have the cooling capacity to take these core i7 to over 4.30Ghz...the 0007 and 0006 modded BIOS are pretty much a miracle! :lol: Other mobo in the same price range from DFI, EVGA, Biostar, Gigabyte, MSI they all have flaws one way or another.Quote:

Thank you Asus for listening and providing a public relations guy (JJ) here on XS that was able to communicate the problem and help get things done. That's the ultimate in support and should be given a big :up:
JoBu: The latest 0006 bios is supposed to have better support for the Xeon chips. After you cross flash let us know what new bios options are available.
I would like also to add a small info in the above crossflashing procedure. You can also downgrade a bios version for your v2 board and I mean that, you upgraded to a new bios version and having problems or not feeling comfortable then use the exact same procedure to downgrade your bios version as you did in the crossflashing procedure.Quote:

I crossflashed to bios versions 0007 and 0006 and still no issues, the board works great and my oc got a little higher.
hey guys,
i got the asus p6t deluxe v1... i flashed the 006 bios and i tested the 21 turbomulti.
the beta 006 is still throtteling to multi 20 -.-.
so here is my question, did the beta 007 fix the turbo throtteling from multi 21 to 20 ?
i have a xeon 3520 4,2Ghz 1,3V (multi 20, bclk 200). i need for bclk 1,38Vcore at least (its out of the tdp specs=> throtteling).
its possible to get the download link to the 007er beta (pm) ?
thank you guys and sry for my bad english ;)

Not sure if this is a problem with Xeon cpu but AFAIK the 0006 work just as well as the 0007 on my 920 D0, no throttling even at 4.50Ghz with HT enable. Make sure you have the speedstep and all power saving options disable. If possible, give us a snapshot of your BIOS settings.Quote:

It probably has been answered before, but how do I cancel the annoying marvell hard drive check that happens during start up?
funkypunk1985: Does the Mainboard tab in CPU-Z show Version 0006? Other users have had good success with 0006 so I'm not sure why the Xeon is still throttling.
I was told by Asus to delete 0007 from the download area and not to distribute it anymore so I can't help you with that.
PM a few guys off the record in this thread and maybe it will magically turn up in your mail box so you can test it out.
Fir3^StorM: If you don't have a hard drive plugged into that connector you could disable the Marvell in the bios so it doesn't search for it when booting up.

funkypunk1985:Are you able to change the QPI link ratio since you updated to the 0006 BIOS?
Hey guys.
I got my i7 two days ago & i'm really confused to most of the settings in the bios. I've went through the first few pages of the thread but can't get answers for my problem. Rig in my sig.
I'm currently running my 920 @ 200*19 with a vcore of 1.225, qpi/dram @ 1.375 & dram @ 1.66
I got a BSOD after about 2 hours with a 124 error code & from what i can gather, this is due to QPI/dram volts, should'nt 1.375 be enough for this.
All other setting are on auto, but my oc palm reports all the other settings @ their lowes variable, for example cpu pll @ 1.8 IOH & ICH @ 1.1
Any info will/suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.
hey,Quote:

i hope the version 0007 will fix this issue :(
another confuse thing, my xeon should able to run @4,4ghz @1,3vcore (asus rampage settings and not over the tdp thortteling), but i need at least 1,38vcore on my asus p6t :/ ...
any idea to increase the bclk from 200>210 ? (with less vcore)
You can disable it in the bios and it dont show up any more.Quote:

@WadKiller: vCore and vTT (qpi) are somewhat related ... try bumping the vCore a notch or two.
It also depends on how you have your qpi frequency set ... if you were trying out higher frequencies it does NOT automactically adjust to the "lowest" multiplier, it stays on the postion of the multiplier in the list ... weird but true.
so here some news.
the bios 0007 works with my xeon3520.
i lost two options => uncore mhz & qpi rate
-.- so its a bug into the bios 0006.
funkypunk1985: Can you post a screen shot of CPU-Z showing your bios version while you are testing at full load? Use the same MHz, temperature and core voltage that you were using before when testing with 0006 where it was clearly showing turbo throttling on the previous page. Open two instances of CPU-Z so one version shows the MHz and the second instance shows the motherboard and bios.
With your new info I will contact JJ at Asus and ask him what happened? It would be nice to have both the uncore and qpi options as well as no turbo throttling in one bios version.
hey,
tomorrow i will test the bios 0006 and 0007 with the same settings and voltages. today its tolate.
;)
So what you are saying is that the 0007 BIOS got rid of the turbo throtteling but also made you loos the QPI & Uncore settings?Quote:

There is no turbo throttling when using bios 0006 and a Core i7 920.
yes, thats what i meantQuote:

maybe their is a genrell bug (on 0006 and 0007).
at first i tested 0007, all was fine ^^(only 5min prime)
then i tested 0006, it works realy fine for 4 minutes 8k fftinplace, then was a reduce to multi 18 on the first core for lesser then one second.
3minutes later was the same, multi reduced to 18,782 for < 1 second
i am still testing the 0006 -.-
edit:
i have a question, i need for 4,2 ghz 1,3v for my vcore, for 4,3 or 4,4 i need MORE then 1,4 O_o
I think the asus p6t deluxe (at least my p6t) has a lot of problem with a bclk over 200 :(
with a multi 21 and bclk 200 i can run like 30minutes qpi 1,30, pll 1,8 -.-, but i cant run a bclk 204+ 2min on prime^^
Programs that monitor a lot of motherboard voltages can interfere with the results from i7 Turbo. I'm not sure why but if you have any drops in your multiplier then turn off programs like HW Monitor and Everest.
Make sure your Power Options -> Minimum processor state is set to 100% and C1E is turned off too. Both of these are designed to drop your multi at idle or when lightly loaded. It could be something like that screwing up the accuracy of your results.
Run a log file in i7 Turbo so you can go back and review things. It's a lot easier to run a log file through Excel than to have to stare at the screen. A single drop of the multi for one second is not important. If you have Turbo throttling issues there will be a lot more than one second of data where the multi is significantly below the 21 that it should be at.
ok thats the point, only a monitoring bug (not the settings: c1e, speedstep,turbo is disabled)
i got the same error with 4,2ghz on 1,3Vcore ( i am sure 1,3v cant over the intel tdp)
it was monitoring with cpuz, realtemp, prime95 + (heavy settings: 8k ffts inplace) + turboV8.
so its realy a softwarebug -.-
i am running my xeon 3520 @4,2ghz because i cant run stable a bclk with more then 200 mhz :(
the cpu should be able to run @4,5ghz :/ <1,4v^^ its a little bit hatefull, i got a realy bad bad bad p6t ...^^
4,5ghz is not realy ;) much faster then 4,2, but its look realy sexy ^^
PS: but the first try as i flashed the 0006 i have had a realy throtteling (reduced over minuts), their was a wrong setting in the bios^^ (but c1e, speedstep, turbo was disabled^^)... maybe because i loaded the old oc profil.....
On an Asus board if you have a 920 or W3520 and select a 21X multiplier in the bios then you automatically have the Turbo feature of the processor enabled. Some boards also force you to have EIST enabled as well when you are using Turbo mode. Your screen shot on the previous page that showed turbo throttling shows that EIST is enabled.
I don't yet know if the occasional drop out reported by i7 Turbo is "monitoring error" or it's showing something that really is going on. I've seen some boards (Gigabyte) with HW Monitor and Everest running and the multi in i7 Turbo is 100% stable. I thought that maybe some on board monitoring chips for voltages might be causing an intermittent slow down but....... :shrug:
Okey, I'm still not quite with you here.. :/
Are you saying that both 0006 and 0007 gets rid of the throtteling problem though the monitoring software still indicates that the multi is occasionally dropping. At the same time 0006 lets you set QPI ratio using W3520 CPU but 0007 does not?
Thanks for helping me out here :)
Hi guys,
sorry for not being in topic.
I have recently upgraded to a i7 920 D0, running at 4GHZ with air, not to xtreme OC due to I dont like high fan noise.
Today I discover that even if I have set my bios to run at 21x190 it shows in cpu-z running at 22x189 = 4158
Is this normal?

You lucky bugger!...:D:p::D People are dying to get 22x multi and you got it without even doing anything. Its very rare to see 22x in CPUZ screenshot with 4 cores enabled because typically a screenshot program puts enough load on the system for 22x to disappear.Quote:

looks like cpu-z only shows 22x when not stressing cpu to much.
the screen shot was taken when only i-tunes & utorrent was running, when running IntelBurnTest both cpu-z and realtemp was showing 21x.
How do you see what multiplier in TurboV ?

http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/3/1794507/Turbo.zip
oradd: This download includes a couple of different tools. Try running i7 Turbo V8 so you can see what multiplier each core is reporting. It's a different program than TurboV.
With 4 cores enabled in the bios, a 22X multiplier is certainly possible when lightly loaded but usually the 22X doesn't stick for very long. A lot of what you see is reporting error by CPU-Z.
Post a screen shot of i7 Turbo V8 beside CPU-Z when lightly loaded so we can have a look.
That would be beyond a miracle into the impossible. The only way you can get a 22X multiplier from a Core i7 920 is if 3 cores are disabled in the bios or 3 cores are inactive and sitting in either the C3 or C6 sleep state. It's impossible to have 4 cores active at 22X for beyond a couple of microseconds. As soon as two or more cores are awake and active, the multi for all cores automatically drops down to 21X.Quote:
Can you run i7 Turbo tool to see if all the 4 cores are running at 22x? That would be a miracle!
funkypunk1985: Hopefully you can do some more testing with bios 0006 this weekend. Post a chunk of the i7 Turbo log file if you see some suspicious numbers. I'll contact Asus if you are having a problem with turbo throttling still so they can get this fixed for the Xeon chips.

The other thing that controls what multiplier you get at idle in Vista or Windows 7 is the Power Options -> Minimum processor state. In XP you can play around with the Power Options -> Power Schemes. Right now at idle your Calculated Multiplier is dancing around mostly between 14 and 16 because your hardware and software settings are not in agreement. One wants to set your multiplier at 12 and the other wants to set it at 21 so you end up with a dancing multiplier somewhere between these two numbers. When you set Windows up correctly, you should be able to get your Calculated Multiplier to be either steady at 12 or steady at 21.
Guys, I have read about multiplier throttling issues going down to 20x, my question is :
will I have this issue if my setting will be 21 mutiplier 195 bclk, 4.09GHz, 1.25v , I'm using bios 0504
icecpu: Probably not but there are no guarantees. If you are able to run that MHz while keeping your core voltage down at 1.25 volts, you'll probably be OK. The other factor though is core temperature. Even if your voltage is OK, if your core temperature gets up somewhere around 80C, you might have problems with turbo throttling. The only way to know for sure is to do your own testing. If you do have a problem, it is simple enough to cross flash your board to bios 0006 and problem solved so no need to worry about this issue.
I just tested 21 x 195, vcore 1.25v
I ran linX 20 passes no problemat all, and I kept eyes on the multiplier during the entire 15 mins, it never went down . Temp was 85 on the max core.
I will run prime95 for 8 hrs later on, so we need to keep eyes on the multiplier all the time to see if it went down ??? Is it go down and stay at 20x or is it just jumping around. I can't stay to see during the entire test.
That's what the log file option in i7 Turbo is for. Upload the log file somewhere and I will have a look at it. Excel makes it easy to find the minimum value in a column of numbers and then you can find that minimum value in the log and have a look to see if it was a one second freak occurrence or if the multiplier spent a big percentage of time at 20.5 or whatever.
SendSpace works good.
http://www.sendspace.com/
unclewebb, which log file i have to look at ?? realtemp ?? prime95 ?? or which one
When testing for throttling, you should be logging with i7 Turbo V8. Just check off the Log File option. It's the most accurate tool to report your multiplier so use it. You can save your data as an Excel file but if you don't have Excel then your data will be saved as a text file so you can check it out with Notepad or WordPad. It's easy enough for me to import that data into Excel so I can do some analysis with it no matter what format you save it in.
I ran OCCT test for 2 hrs, I use realtemp, everest , cpuz to monitor the multiplier and it never went down , so is that mean I don't have the throttling issues right ???Quote:

RealTemp 3.00 and CPU-Z round the multiplier off to the nearest 0.5 which isn't much use when checking for turbo throttling. Everest is probably similar.
Would you do neurosurgery with a butcher knife? I hope not. :D
You need to use the right tool for the job.
This thread has a few examples of what this turbo throttling stuff is all about.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=225450
I just use realtemp version 3.30 to monitor multiplier, and I notice it jumping from 21 to 20.8 occasionally.
If you saw 20.8 at full load, that's the first warning sign of turbo throttling. RealTemp 3.00 used to use steps of 0.5 but I tightened that up to steps of 0.2 for RealTemp 3.30. The best tool is still i7 Turbo V8. That uses steps of 0.001 to report the multiplier. If you are running Prime Small FFTs, it should be locked on 21.000 and should rarely if ever drop below that number while you are at full load. Turn off Everest and try running LinX. If the Calculated multiplier is dropping at full load then that's a problem. If this happens, overclock your CPU less and re-run LinX until your multiplier is steady at 21.000 at full load.Quote:

I just tried i7 Turbo V8, at idle it also jumpimg from 21.000 to 20.999 to 20.875
When testing, turn off Everest. That and HW Monitor can cause issues on some boards. i7 Turbo V8 should report a steady 21.000 at full load. Your idle multiplier can be effected by your Control Panel -> Power Options -> Minimum processor state setting in Vista or Windows 7. If your CPU is lightly loaded and you have C3/C6 enabled in the bios, it's also possible to see multipliers greater than 21.000 depending on your board.
ok thanks a lot unclewebb
It is locked at 21x in i7 Turbo V8 at full load
so how long does it take to find out if it throttling??, I ran for 10 mins it seems to stick at 21
If your temperature and voltage are consistent at full load then it shouldn't matter whether you test for 10 minutes or 10 hours. If you can run LinX at 4.1 GHz with 1.25 volts and the multiplier is steady at 21.000 then you don't have a problem with turbo throttling. If you decide that you want to push a little further then test again. There's not much point in overclocking to 4.2 GHz if your CPU suddenly starts to turbo throttle at full load, the multi drops to 20.0 and all you're really ending up with is 4.0 GHz. If you do a long Prime or LinX run, it won't hurt to run an i7 Turbo log at the same time so you can go back and make sure everything is OK.
my temp for the highest core is very high at 87C , so I don't think temp is the factor that cause the turbo throttling issue,
the multiplier is really steady at 21.000
Thanks a bunch for all your great program and help
hey guys...
Some one have the config of the high bblock get it on P6T DLX?
Hi, I am a novice in the subject overclock, and if they could not comment on my oc, I also left some questions in order to dispel my doubts:
Okay the oc?
CPU voltage is too high for 24/7?
that could be done to improve the oc?
Now here we leave the description of my pc and photograph
PS: greetings and thank you very much for your answers :D

I'm using 1.26vcpu for 4.0ghz (20x200) and 1.3vqpi / 1.70vram @ 1600mhz 7.7.7.24.
Will try later 21x200 to see the vcpu required to be stable.
I have a dlx v2 crossflashed to v1 with 0006 bios.
thanks for your reply kado-pt, but as I have a question, 1.7 for the memories will not be much?
As long as the difference between vram and vqpi does not exceed 0.5v it's ok to use 1.70v (1.70-1.30=0.4).
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone could say what is the trouble with my BIOS update on the subj.
Any BIOS newer than 1206 won't let initialize my USB keyboard (Logitech G15) during POST so that I cannot enter the BIOS settings...
Thought the newer BIOS versions would save this, but still to the same effect.. Every time I'm trying to update the BIOS, I have to pull out of garbage my old PS/2 keyboard to be able to enter BIOS settings at all... WTF???:(
Thank for any suggestions.
Regards,
R

I'm thinking of flashing my v2 with it but if it's just the turbo issue I might skip it. :)

thanks for all :D
My results with bios 0006 installed on P6T DLX V2.
I juts don't understand why the bblock is not locked in 215 like i put in the bios. This is something to do with the 0006 bios?

It's important to keep in mind how much your QPI/VDIMM voltage droops on your board though. On some i7 boards the vqpi droops as much as .1v so if yours did you'd be right at 0.5v differential.Quote:

I made a bootable cd with Nero and put afudos and the .rom file in it, but after it has booted my usb keyboard does not work.
So I cant write anything.
Anyone has a solution?
