Thanks,

My ram passes many passes of memtest at DDR3-1600 7-8-7-21 1T.

I'm finally stable at 4.1 GHz but it took buying a 940 to do it! The extra 2 multi's go a long way to helping an overclock.

Finally i have build my sytem with a Asus P6T Deluxe V2 !!

My sig. you can see under the message/picture.

I have just run my system everything on stock and Auto (not touch the Bios yet) with my Chess program and put all information on a screen.

I have also make a Excel file with my Bios settings! If someone want to take a look or even fill in the settings what i have to put in my Bios to get 3.4Ghz to start with.Because i have alot off testings on my Q6600 g0 @3.4Ghz and want to compare them,and after that i want go to 4Ghz if this cpu can handle it to stay stable with my Chess program with HT on 100% 24/7 !!

So,any input is welcome:up:

Anyone try Bios 1206? For me, BIOS 1102 caused BSODs when trying to encode video from AVI to DVD format. I wonder if anyone can try Convert X to DVD using BIOS 1206 and see if you get crashes?

Has anybody tried flashing the P6T Deluxe V1/V2 with the R2E bios?

I thought 1206 is still beta since its not yet visible on Asus download page. Or at least it wasn't the day before yesterday. So I didn't try 1206 yet because my system is stable at current settings. I only have some issues with double booting and OC profile not working when SATA is enabled.

As far as I know 1206 only provides better memory compatibility but I'm not sure (thought I read it somewhere across the forum).

It's on Asus' site now. Not Beta either.

i've managed to gain some extra bandwidth with this new bios 1206, from this

to this... even with higher frenquencies with old bios couldn't pass 16k... :up: with HT disabled

i have to check the fixes...

Just built this system and I'm coming from a Socket 775 setup does anyone have a bios template for oc'ing I7 920 on this board. I've noticed alot of changes in the bios from my old P5K. If someone could get me started in the right direction I would really appreciate the help. All my componets are listed in my Sig. Many thanks to those of you who help.

I have one question, how to manage 22 multi with this mb, because with turbo I have only 21? http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=498953

Really? What was your previous values?

not really i figured out it was because of the uncore and the the Qpi link

sorry.

For the guys using liquid cooling on this board is it possible to liquid cool just the mosfets leaving the SB/NB Chipset heatsinks alone?? Do I have to physically cut the copper link from from SB/NB to the Mosfets or can I unscrew the link pipe from the main stock[black heatsink] ???

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm just wondering how safe is to keep the QPI/DRAM volt. at 1.4v and the CPU PLL at 1.9v for 24/7 given the temperatures are quite within the reasonable range under stress-tests like OCCT or Prime. Heard that Asus does not recommend to raise the uncore voltage above 1.35.
The point is that it won't work stable at lesser voltage so to keep my OC (BCLK 191) I have to raise the voltage that way.

Thanks.

You would have to cut the heatpipe. It's a one piece cooler.

I see you have C-State enabled. Reasons?

What does C-State even do?

it was designed to save power, like C1E or speed step or EIST

but it as some drop diferences beetween each state, i do not know yet

for sure because im not using it at all. cheers

From what I understand its simply designates the lowest system adjusted power state, shutting cores down in the process.

Yes, but there are several C-States. If this is enabled on the P6T you see a 20% increase in Ram bandwidth :)

However, you also see a 20% decrease in L3 cache bandwidth :(

I do not yet know the significance in this.

I really haven't done any significant testing with the different C states myself other than set at C1 or C7.

I've been running mine with lowest state of C1 which keeps it from boosting over 21 and keep all cores awake which is what I wanted, I could probably disable C states altogether but haven't tired that yet.

Not sure about how the states affect cache or memory speed personally I but think I'll probably disable C states all together next reboot.
