lol subzero and 5GHz is easy with this setup :p:
i did some testing and i was doing some benching at 5GHz and lower MHz looked at logs and saw no drops.......
for those ppl that suggest dropping the B2B to 10 or 12 havea look at your RAM bandwith....its an absolute shocker. The otehr thing you could do is up your VTT volts which will allow for high bandwith with bios choosing 0 automatically so i guess it depends on how much you really need all that extra bandwidth :up:
S1N3: I added your log file to the last post on the previous page and an explanation. Your picture shows that this bios version is still having a problem with disabling turbo throttling.
If you can, cross flash your v2 board to the 0006 v1 bios. I haven't seen any problems reported with that special bios version at higher MHz than you're running.
Is your i7-920 a C0 stepping. They seem to hit the wall sooner than the D0 CPUs.
Here's a link to the 0006 v1 bios if you're interested in trying this.

Thanks Amurtigress.
so what happens exactly guys
does the multi just drop to non-turbo multi during load????
i tired with prime SmallFFTs and Blend at 4.6GHz or 4.7 with 1.47vcore and the multi was still on turbo 25x
dinos22: I posted S1N3's log file at the end of the previous page so you can have a look at what happens during turbo throttling.
Have a look at the CMULTI (Calculated Multiplier) column and scroll down. It starts out nice and steady at 21.000 which shows the turbo is fully engaged. At 22:08:01 is the first sign that it is starting to cycle. The previous second shows the load meter starting to act funny. The average multiplier on all threads has dropped down to 20.856 and as he continues to test and things heat up, the average drops lower and lower.
The lowest I see is about 20.6. What this number means is that turbo mode is engaged approximately 60% of the time. It's using the 21X multiplier 60% of the time and the other 40% of the time it is only using the 20X multiplier. That's not too good.
The multiplier on these CPUs can be cycling back and forth hundreds of times a second between 21 and 20 when this is happening. At this level, there's a good chance that CPU-Z would still be showing a nice steady 21 multiplier but that doesn't adequately tell a user that something is going on. His screen shot of RealTemp shows a multiplier of 20.7 which is also a warning sign of turbo throttling in progress. If he was testing with LinX it would probably drag it down to 20 full time.
At 22:09:43 in the log file, just as the load starts to decrease, the multiplier starts to recover and 1 second later; no significant load and the multi is happily back up to its maximum of 21.000. No more turbo throttling.
As I said before, this is a perfect example of what happens during a turbo throttling episode and also shows how precise i7 Turbo is at detecting this problem.
dinos22 your killing me 5Ghz ! eazy as pie :clap:
lol thats all I'm shooting for with chilled water :rofl:
Thanks for the crossflash link unclewebb :D
I have the P6T vanilla and I'm too having this turbo-throttling problem you describe :(... while stress testing it starts at 21 but after a couple mins it just starts jumping between 20-21, and it ends up being more at 20 than 21 ... i'm using cpuz to monitor, and latest bios from ftp (though this didnt seem to happen much with earlier versions)...
noob question what exactly causes this turbo-throttling? :confused:
well next week i've got a TV show with audience and :banana::banana::banana::banana: and 20L of LN2 to crack as high a frequency as i can
i think they'll be given ballots to vote on frequency they think i'd get....lol watch some smartass put down 8GHz or something stupid lol
too bad it's one and only gem CPU i have so i have to baby it hehehehe and too bad this P6T DLX isnt called EVGA Classified :rofl:
It's a protection mechanism built into the CPU by Intel. This paragraph from the Intel Turbo White Paper explains that it can be triggered by several factors.Quote:
noob question what exactly causes this turbo-throttling? :confused:
1.2 Dependencies / Algorithm
Intel® Turbo Boost technology core frequency upside availability is ultimately constrained by power delivery limits, but within those constraints, it is limited by the following factors:
• The estimated current consumption of the processor
• The estimated power consumption of the processor
• The temperature of the processor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPU-Z is not the best tool to monitor turbo throttling. Give i7 Turbo a try and it will accurately report the average multiplier for each thread. It makes it very easy to see when this problem first starts to happen. When you back off your overclock, you will see the multipliers steady at 21.000 but no one around here likes to do that. :(
Some motherboards give you the option to disable this safety feature in the bios and some manufacturers decided to ignore this safety feature so their boards will not start to throttle back. The Asus P6T series gives a user no way to turn this off. Asus has been nice enough to try and create some special bios versions to work around this issue for enthusiasts but there's still room for improvement and so far there's no special bios available for the vanilla P6T.
Post a screen shot and send me an i7 Turbo log file that clearly shows the problem on your board and I will be happy to forward it to Asus.
Edit: Another user, infected_, still sees turbo throttling with this new 0001 bios for the v2. You might as well stick with cross flashing 0006 for the v1 onto your v2 board as documented in Post #1403 above.
i flashed the new bios, but it keeps throttling :S do i have to do anything special while flashing or post-flash operation in the bios options?
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6087/69085565.jpg
thanks,

ok.. cross-flashed the 0006 bios, and no more throttling :D will have to wait until Asus engineers make the proper corrections to the non official 0001 bios for the p6t dlx v2....

Unclewebb thanks, here's the ss and turbo log of a Linx test i just did at 205x21 (4.3GHz), vcore 1.36v, VTT 1.3v

Full log of that run: http://pastebin.ca/1661095
Hope it helps...
Thanks nanamiSpecial. I think some early versions of CPUID Hardware Monitor used to interfere with the timers that i7 Turbo uses and would give incorrect results. That doesn't look like the problem here but for future reference, it's best to test with as few monitoring tools as possible. CPU-Z, RealTemp and i7 Turbo all get along with each other and are sufficient for testing purposes. Disabling C1E and setting your Power Options -> Minimum processor state to 100% also eliminates these two variables for causing this problem.
Asus already knows that the P6T has turbo throttling issues but now you have to wait to see if this board ever makes it to the top of the priority list for them. I'll send them your screen shot after they contact me about the 0001 v2 bios that so far seems like a bust.
Hello.
I bought recently a P6TD deluxe and want to know if the bios 0006 ( no more throttling ) is compatible with my motherboard ?
Second question : are extreme version of nehalem without TDP limitation ?
thanking you in advance !
All Nehalem CPUs have TDP throttling. It's up to the motherboard to give a user the option to turn this feature off. Sadly, the P6T series doesn't include that option.
When the Asus rep asked me last week what board should be next to get a special bios, the P6TD Deluxe was my answer. It looks like they'll have to fix up the 0001 v2 bios first. I haven't heard of anyone cross flashing the 0006 v1 bios onto a P6TD Deluxe.
Edit: You should contact angelreaper here on XS. I'm not sure what his board was originally but he has cross flashed back and forth with a variety of v1, v2 and P6TD bios versions so it looks like it's possible. Here's a few posts about this:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1193
Thank you very much for the quick answer , unclewebb .
So , i am going to wait the special bios .
Do you know if it will be an official bios and where it will be possible to download it ?
Asus has said they will never include the ability to disable turbo throttling in any of their official P6T bios versions, ever.
If you're brave, you could try cross flashing the 0006 v1 bios on to your P6TD Deluxe. Contact angelreaper. He knows more about this than I do.
Any special bios versions that I get, I post them on XS. Send me a message once a month if you want to be kept informed. I'm not sure if Asus has anyone else distributing these special bios versions. They are mostly designed for the Xtreme guys at XS, when they work that is.
All right .
I wonder whether best is not to buy another motherboard ?
Evga classified , why not ? :cool:
Hi iam just starting to learn about OC the I7 on this motherboard and i have a question that i cant seam to find awnswer to.
Ok so i have my Mems at 1.6v how does this afect Qpi/dram voltage ?
And it safe to use for example Dram Voltage at 1.6 and Qpi/Dram Voltage at 1.3 ?
My 920 isnt a big overclocker iam trying for 4.0 but i can only get it stable at 1.296v but at 3.8 i got it rock stable at 1.184v :/ kinda disapointing.
Iam using Qpi/Dram voltage at 1.24v for the 3.8 setup and dont know if bumping it up would help .
Thanks in advance
I'm seeing throttling now also. It was much worse last night showing a steady 20x during LinX at 21x200 1.32v. This run got down to 20.8x.
http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/s...-7-20-1T-6.jpg
You mentioned on the previous page that you originally thought that everything was OK. Core temperatures over 80C plays a big part in this.Quote:
deachus: ....and there is no throttling at all while running LinX @ 4280Mhz HT On.
Do you know what temperature you were running at before?
You should try cross flashing with the 0006 v2 bios to see if your turbo throttling issues go away.
This new and improved 0001 bios is definitely a disappointment, especially after waiting so long for it.
I did say that but ran some more tests and it's throttling. Don't know why it didn't that time but it did on my last 2 runs.
I feel so invisible :eek: a mere 49 posts ago i have P6TD Deluxe crossflashed with 0006 v1 :up:
deachus: If you haven't changed anything in the bios like core voltage then all I can think of is that your core temperatures are a little higher in your recent tests and that's triggering throttling. Bottom line is that bios 0001 hasn't fixed the problem like bios 0006 v1 has done for many happy users.
-=DVS=-: Sorry about that. I've been too busy juggling all these different special bios versions for all these different but very similar P6T boards that I guess I lost track. That's excellent info to know and it's even better that it's at the top of a new page so hopefully other users can find it, 49 posts from now. :D
Well flash tool and bios is deep in the thread , but whoever needs it here is my mirror at megaupload contains AFU236U (flash tool) ,006 v1 bios, and bat file you run to flash or run manually AFU236U /ibeta0006.rom /pbnc /n
What i did was boot to dos from USB stick ( i don't use floppy anymore ) and run the bat , once flashing is over , power down (i did not reset but power off), power up go to bios load defaults .
The only difference that i noticed from v1 bios compared to my original one i got extra section for SAS controller which my motherboard obviously doesn't have so select disable and your done basicly.
Hello .
I just test my mP6TD today but i noticed a problem : a small blue led is always ON near the A1 slot when i turn on my pc . What does it mean : imcompatible ram or everthing is Ok ? :confused:
My ram is : KINGSTON KHX12800D3K3/6GX 6GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 (9-9-9-27) DIMM (Kit of 3) XMP .
hai..
need help, did anyone tried the board with the new intel Xeon series such as Xeon E5XXX...
is it compatible, or is it just matter of BIOS version..
thank you...
this board is scary fast
it's missing some timings and i'm not happy that Asus seems to have locked it RAM table to CPUTweaker
Thats just silly
I'll tell them all tomorrow i guess to get that sorted out.....but it's very easy to OC..................decent RAM clocks, CPU MHz, bus, etc all good :up:

USOLDIER, if you go one page back you can see my 920 D0 screenshot 20x200 4Ghz which requires 1.296v to be LinX MaxMem 20 runs / Prime95 Blend 8 hours stable. I would say without a great batch that voltage is accurate for 4Ghz stable. What is your batch# and I see your mem timings are set to Auto? I would set these manually.
Hey , my batch is 3916b089 and yeah my mems are in manual 9-9-9-24 , so this would be ok to use 1.296v at 4ghz , what about QPI/Dram setting would it help anything to use it over 1.25v ?
Ive read some stuff about Qpi/Dram voltage being somewhat "linked" to Dram Voltage but still didnt understand how exactly it works and what QPI/Dram voltage may help with tbh .
Thanks for your reply deachus
Usoldier you can always avoid 20x multiplier and try 21x. There are less problems with 21x multiplier.
heheheh
i hit 5777.1MHz with the core i7 960 live on a tv show
pretty happy with that as it was a pressure bench with a board i havent used on LN2 at all
i was also messing around later and i reckon i could probably stick a 5.6GHz 32M on it too :up: very nice board
Hey guys I have small favor I am getting this board and I am going to be removing the heat-sink and re-TIMing it, I was just wondering if anyone can post some pictures of the back of the board with close ups of the screws or connectors used and if possible if anyone knows offhand the size of the screws.
And if anyone happens to know some links to a pictorial of someone re-timming the chip-set heat-sink that would also be great.
Thanks!

I just got done a weekend of stability testing with my 920 D0. Before this weekend I needed 1.295vcore to be stable at 21x191.
I was able to find my lowest stable vQPI which I think was the problem with getting stable with 1.295vcore. Now that I have my vQPI dialed in perfectly I was able to drop my vcore a ton! I have tested teh vQPI and it is rock stable right now, but it can't go any lower or I am not stable. i was able to drop my vcore from 1.295v to 1.255v and still dropping. Just got done 4 hours of Prime95 x64 and no errors. I did 15 runs MaxMex of LinX but didn't save the screenshot. I'm going to set it to 25 runs and run it again right now. If that passes I will start dropping vcore some more.
I have now come to find out first hand that you need higher vcore if you don't have your vQPI dialed in.
EDIT: McBacker, I am running 7-7-6-18-1T-60 @ DDR3-1919Mhz, there is no way it is going any lower. Here's a shot with 1.243vcore LinX 15runs Maxmem

Hi!
I have p6t deluxe mobo.
my problem is, that i cant get it working stabely @ 200MHz BCLK... no matter the multi.
Try running 18*200MHz @ 1.2250V cpu vcore, 1.3750V QPI, QPI link 3600, UNCORE 3200, RAM 1600MHz...
It runs fine, but when it comes to LinX it locks up sooner or later... no BSoD or restarting, just system locks up... :(
Running it 20*180MHz at same cpu voltage, and only 1.3500V qpi, it can pass everything....
My cpu or mobo cant handle bclk 200MHz....? :(
Tried everything tough, disabling cpu spread spectrum, raising back-to-back cas delay (aka. performance level..) nothing.
Only thing now, have it run with LLC OFF, but didnt have the time to test it, tough I think it wont make such a difference after all..
Any toughts? Or should I just forget about 200MHz BCLK? :(
Well, seems to be LLC was causing the lock ups...
Now running 50 loops os LinX problem size 15.000 (i have only 3gigs of ram), its okay!!
Does anyone can confirm this? BCLK 200MHz with LLC on could be faulty?
I have the P6T Deluxe V2 and I can run 21x200+ and 20x200+ with no problems. Passes LinX maxmem 20 runs no problem. It has been mentioned before in this thread that your cpu may require more vcore with using 20x multi then 21x multi. So you might want to try running 21x191 for 4Ghz then 20x200. Test it out and see what you find. I always have LLC Enabled with no problems.
Just my 2 cents:)
Right, in the meantime it turned out that LLC off doesnt help a thing, tough the rig could take LinX a bit longer (30-40 pass) eventually it locked up...
So now I am back to 20*180MHz @ 1.2250V, absolutely stable, 50 pass of LinX a couple of times, and many hours of p95... its good.
I think there must be something about uncore, mem. controller and bclk...
200MHz bclk, and no avail... I tried 1.2750V cpu, 1.3750V qpi, still it locked up...
Anyways, whats this special bios? throttling disabled by asus?
and what is is this kind of crossflash thing? doest it help ocing?
Hey Guys
Asus P6T And P6T Deluxe Can Disable QPI Link Data Rate??? I Mean This Setting In Bios Can Be Off Somthing Link Many X58 Board.....
All right, some update on my 200MHz BCLK struggle :)
So as I already posted above, my goal is to stabilize this setting:
18*200MHz @ 1.2250V (seems enough...)
RAM 1600MHz @ 1.65V
QPI Voltage 1.3500V
Uncore 3200MHz
QPI link 3600MHz
Thats it.
Thing is no matter what I did, rig locks up every time I run LinX or P95 blend test for a few minutes.
Interesting tough that 20*180MHz is rock stable.
Now I took out one of the RAM modules (3*1gb mushkin 1600), so now I have 2*1gig modules in the mobo, and LinX passes all right! (maximum problem size availabel with 2gigs of ram of course!)
What does this tell?
Weak CPU memory controller, or the motherboard has some issues, or faulty module (luckily i got that one out... dont think so tough..)
It really gets to my nerves, what should I do?
Mushkin is not on QVL for asus? Could this be the cause?
Then again, at 20*180MHz (QPI 3240, uncore 3240 as well, voltages as the same, written above) is okay, no lock up, no bsod no notin' !
Help!:rolleyes:

So I cant seem to find stable settings for a 4.2 OC on a D0, a post or two above shows my stable 4.0 but I cant seem to surpass that, any suggestions?
Isn't 4.0 enough? I'm happy with that! =]
At 4300mhz you should be getting 56+ GFLOPS in LinX your 47 gflops is seriously under performing , its either throttling or producing degraded performance from bad OC.
This is mine for comparison , try running it at 4200 and or increasing volts see if that helps.
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/9...ble56gf.th.jpg
4 is never enough lol :)
Edit: I think I finally got 4.2 stable, going fine with a 20 run of LinX and several hours of usage! Im pretty pumped on it.
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...6/42stable.jpg
Low Vcore ;) For My 4500 Not Enough :D Higher Is Better If I Can Set Higher Frquence :(
I know that. BIOS for P6TD Deluxe - 0209 is crap. The only good thing is fully support for Xeon.
With BIOS 0006 I have no problems:

Beware this new bios 0704. Turned my 4.2 stable system into a no boot unless defaults are loaded..:down:
That's good for you then, I can't seem to get stable with any oc at all. In fact it almost seems like it doesn't want to run at stock. I spent all night on it, even reflashed the bios twice. Attempted to flash 0006, getting an error cannot read rom file....:shrug:
I flashed to 0704, re-entered my current 24/7 stable settings and came to find out I was LinX 20 runs Maxmem stable with 2 notches lower vcore with this 0704 bios. Running great. I also got 4.3Ghz LinX stable but temps are too high on air for my liking. Low 80's
I had the same problem as S1N3 with the new bios for the vanilla P6T (changelog is the same of the dlx), my prior stable OC wouldn't boot at all, had to clear cmos and start my OC from scratch, changing one thing at a time... i think it's some specific setting that borks it but i haven't been able to pinpoint it yet...
I want to go back to the previous bios but it's impossible with the usual tools, need the DOS utility for this, anyone happen to know were to find it?..
Hey all.. Great thread, highly informative and very helpfull, nice one !! :D
Have been after a steady 4.2 for a while but was having turbo throttling on my P6T Deluxe V2 with the normal Asus bios (0610) using 21x200 @1.35v (have tried lower vcore but it does a BSOD, am still working on it tho !!). After reading on here about cross flashing, I tried the the P6T-ASUS-DELUXE-v2-0001 bios but still suffered from throttling... Flashed to the P6T-ASUS-DELUXE-0006 and no more throttling :)

(Forgot to include CPU-Z in the screenshot but it's the P6T Deluxe 0006 bios dated 07/07/09)
Only ran LinX for 10 passes at max mem, all seems good so far, the min and max calculated multi didn't change throughout LinX.. But am only on air cooling and temps peaked at 82C, average was 80C, looks like it's water cooling next !!
I've got myself a Core i7 920 3913B192 and Asus P6T (not the deluxe !) with 6GB of OCZ 1600 DDR3 7-7-7-24 Platinum kit
I overclocked the cpu to 4217 with HT ON and Turbo Mode ON with 1.3750 vCore cooled by OCZ Vendetta 2 + LGA 1366 Brackets + AC MX-2
Here are the other voltages :

I play games for hours with no problems but Prime95 and OCCT are not stable even for 2 seconds :down:
Small FFT rus without problems !
Large FFT or Blend test get errors within seconds !
What should I do to fix this ?
Could I push the CPU OC ay further ?
Is it a good chip to start with ?
stutheterrorist and other users. I have been talking with Asus and they are becoming skeptical about some of the reported turbo throttling. They don't fully trust the i7 Turbo application I wrote and would be willing to believe more if CPU-Z is also in your screen shots showing this same problem. In my opinion, recent versions of CPU-Z that rounds the multiplier off to the nearest whole number is not an adequate tool for the job but my opinion doesn't count.
Can you post some screen shots with the latest 0001 special bios that includes i7 Turbo and CPU-Z during some extreme turbo throttling so both programs clearly show this issue that would be great. Their engineers seem to think that if CPU-Z doesn't show it then it must not be happening.
i7 Turbo is not something I cooked up off the top of my head. It follows the method outlined in the Intel Turbo White Paper that came out last year. If Asus doesn't trust my program then they must have at least one programmer on staff that can write a similar utility in the matter of one day. It's not an overly complex programming exercise.

Intel's paper makes it clear in section 2.1.
2.1 Problem with Today’s Software Reporting Frequency
"....., software that uses the Pstate structures, directly or indirectly, will not properly display Intel® Turbo Boost technology frequencies."
I have followed Intel's recommended method as outlined in this paper while most other programs do not.
Well I'm happy to report I was able to flash the 0006 bios and I have stability once again. I think I may have an idea why 0704 had this issue but I need to check a few things first. I'm also hopeful that my throttle issue is gone, if so I'm fairly certain I can reach a stable 215 block without phase. I'll post up the i7 turbo log uncleweb so they can see before and after. You can even see the heavy throttling in AI suite and that's their program.
unclewebb, studtheterrorist,
just a stupid wondering spoken out loudly:
If ASUS doesn't believe our tools, what tools do THEY have to verify that their BIOS DOES what they claim?
The best would be to plainly tell us which tools they use and let us see what happens....
Just a logical idea. :shrug:
I just flashed 2704 and was able to get right back to my previous settings, so no problems here.
Looking for a 4.4 stable suggestion, cant seem to find it stable. Ive found a 4.2 but I cant seem to surpass that, so far im good specs in sig but any kind of recommendation would help.
