Wait for a new driver that supports SLI i 3dm11. Or google evga sli 3dmark11 patch.

Edit, maybe this is only regarding 570 cards? hmm

Thanks. Sli patch is for both. Got both the SLI patch and the Nvidia inspector trick. But your right I'll just wait until Nvidia get their new drivers out, then see.:)

I had to replace my Thermaltake 700W power supply because the comp did hard resets in 3D stuff, I lost 2 days with this and thought the GTX570 was faulty. Whats crazy is that I installed a cheapo 600W power supply and now it works. The specs says it has more 3V and 5V amps but half of the 12V amps, go figure...

4.5 GHz fully stable 10x45 @ 1.300 VCore | 66 C (under Prime)

Unfortunately I can't login into Windows (hangs while loading the splash screen)
at 4.6GHz. I tried even with 1.41 Vcore and still nothing.

How strange is that ?

EDIT:
Clear CMOS
Enable internal PLL
4.6GHz working ;)

Thanks GV (God bless you)

normally @ 4600mhz is not required internal pll overvoltage.....

Does anyone have the measurement from the centerline of the cpu to the leading edge of the first memory slot? I'm trying to determine if the Noctua NH-D14 will fit with Corsair Vengeance or GSkill RipJaws X memory. The memory is 50mm (about 2") tall. The HSF is 62mm to the edge of the fins, 89.5mm to the edge of the fan.

Ugh. Forgot you were asking about ram..

Is CPU Current Capability setting not necessary?
I just watched this video from Newegg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vBN-cBPs98
He didn't touch the setting and it got upto 4.8ghz

Explain??? What is wrong with this picture lol..

If you could measure from the center of the CPU to the leading edge of the memory we would have our answer. However, I will have my board before the end of the week (shipped today) and can take the measurement then.

Do any of you guys have problems getting the PC to resume from standy?
It works fine when I'm not overclocking, but cannot get my PC to resume from standy after I change bios settings / overclock?

Upgrade your CPUZ. Mine read 94.4 bclk with that version. I think that version is not accurate.

2.1 inches.

2500K @ 5GHz @ 1.40 VCore
Motherboard: ASUS P8P67
Cooling: Xigmatek Aegir (Air cooler)
Ram: G.Skill RipJawsX DDR3 2133MHz 9-10-9-27

@Dr.Paneas idling at 57c? That's way too high imo.

Not idle my friend ^.
I was running Winrar benchmark at the background.

My 24/7 is 4.5GHz @ 1.3 --> 66C under Prime95 FFTs

From the center of the CPU? Not good.

I threw the drawing in the manual into Photoshop a few minutes ago I got 53mm which is 2.097in. So..same answer.

However, since the cooler is 62mm, the dufference is 9mm, .35in. Bigger than a breadbox.

Ya, I'm having a problem resuming from standby. My PC is rock stable, except for this problem where it freezes on resume. Currently running 4.8Ghz 2500K P8P67. I came on here hoping someone else was having the problem and there was hope of a solution.

I'm just going by the picture where it shows 2 sticks in slots in DIMM A2 and B2 (second and fourth from the cpu...)

Got a question for more experience OC'ers. I really want to know the in's and outs of the bios.

What exactly does C1E, and CPU C3 report etc.. do? When I disable them, my clock stays the same and is not downclocked. Even with speestep enabled. I was wondering what each of their functions was and if it's save to leave all the CPu CX reports and C1E turned off permanently?

I don't think there is any reason to disable them honestly, unless you are trying for 6 ghz or something, and even then I can't say they'd matter. They don't seem to be hindering overclocks this time around and I'd leave them on for 24/7.

Here's a SUPER in depth article on them, if you are so inclined:

Not that it matters too much, but this post is from me. I do indeed have this board and a 2600k so I wanted you to know I'm not just randomly posting things. :) Totally didn't realize I had two accounts.

Oh wow I didn't even realize that I had put the RAM in the recommended slots. I just put them there because of clearance issues with my heatsink (also had to move the front fan to the rear, now in a pull-pull config). Just so used to RAM being in A1 B1

I have the exact same problem- can't get into windows at 46x or above-unfortunately, clearing CMOS and enabling internal PLL didn't remedy the problem. I think I've hit a multi wall at 45x with my 2600k (although I haven't tried more than 1.475 vcore).

I can also run 4.5ghz (45*100) prime stable for 12 hrs with core temps peaking in high 60's, but it requires 1.39xx vcore. Anything less throws errors or bluescreens.

I have the Noctua NH-D14 and there is no way the Vengeance RAM is going to fit with the useless heatsinks on. I say useless because I actually took mine apart and most of the chips are not even in contact with the heatsink pad. The glue is really crappy and comes of the actual pad material very easily, only a little bit of the glue came off on the edge of certain chips. Besides the mechanism that retains both halves of the RAM heatsinks is not really holding anything together. I don't know what the official theory is but I would not be surprised that the RAM is better cooled without the heatsinks than with them on.

Are you sure your power supply is up to the task, I had to change mine (700W), also I had to up the other voltages not just the CPU core.

Thanks, I appreciate the article.

I am having a massive issue with the board though. Everytime I turn my computer off, then on again in the morning, it simply will not boot. Keep in mind, I am not overclocking at all, and have Turbo mode turned off. The only way to get the computer to boot into windows is by turning off the PSU, opening it up, removing the power switch connecter, turning the PSU on, reconnecting the power switch, then powering the computer on again.

It then takes me to an Asus screen about having a failed overclock, and to hit F1 to go into setup. Which makes no sense at all since I have not even attempted to overclock.

Once in setup I simply exit and it finally boots into windows.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? This is the second day it has done this.

Try setting the volts to stock manually (around 1.25-1.26) on the CPU, and set the RAM voltage manually + the timings & speed. On a side note, Turbo mode should be left on, it's free (stock) performance as well :).

Me too but no blue screen just will not boot into windows. I am using a XMP for my memory profile Corsair 2000MHz @ a cas (8) but I only had to select a 1866 or 2133 memory setting. Are you guys using your XMP memory profiles or manually setting the memory? Also if you increase the memory speeds will it help your OC? But the good thing is I am at only 1.3V stable on water never gets over 50C with prime. Also on a side note I got my cold boot problem fixed but still can not get the AI Suite_II_ to work. Any ideas or fixes yet?

Thanks

im running my ram in the wrong slots apparently... big difference?

EDIT: Something is just odd... cpu-z is reading me @ max of 3400mhz :/

EDIT again:! Nevermind i fixed it.... I had to download CPU-Z 1.56.2 BETA now reports r correct :)

Your ram was not originally designed for SB, best not to use the XMP profile.

Disabling Speedstep on my PRO MB removes my multiplier unlock setting LOL anyone else having this problem? I haven't updated the bios just yet.

If you update the bios to the latest, you'll get unlocked multiplier and PLL Internal Overvoltage(necessary for high OC) for K series.

Lol, yeah. MAybe cause turbo is a part of EIST?

Is there anyway to disable the bluetooth in the bios or maybe a switch on the board? I have no use for it, and like most other add ons, not needed for oc.

I'm using a silverstone 1000W power supply. It's worked well in another system in the past, so I think it's Ok. What other voltages did you increase?

I played around with all of the bios settings mentioned in this thread and other p8p67 overclocking guides I've found, and I was never able to get into windows at 4.6ghz or above using up to 1.475 vcore. Soooo, I returned my 2600k and got a 2500k. I'm at 4.9 ghz now (with the exact same hardware setup as before), but still working on stability. I think it will need about 1.41ish vcore to be linx and/or prime stable at this speed for this new chip. I guess not all these 2nd gen intel chips are cut out for 4.8ghz+ overclocks.

A question for everyone here- has anyone had to raise VccSA for 4.9ghz+ stable overclocks? Some guides suggest raising VccSA in tandem with VccIO when using faster memory, tighter timings, or increasing the bclock. I'm running my memory at 1333mhz with loose timings, so I haven't increased VccSA or VccIO yet. However, I do have some decent ddr3-2000mhz sticks I'd like to use after cpu stability testing, and I'm wondering if folks have had to increase VccSA and or VccIO to run 8 GB of ram (2 x 4gb sticks) at 1866mhz or above.

No. I did some testing on an earlier BIOS and found that with 52+ and 1866MHz 6-7-6, it didn't respond to VCCIO for some reason, yet the VCCSA started to work in much the same way as the VCCIO normally would have. I'm still not sure if this is an isolated BIOS quirk with the hardware I have or if it's something worth looking into. Lsdmeasap tried it on a Gigabyte board and didn't see the same, but he was using Hyper modules I believe, and I was using PSC.

For 5GHz and below, with 1866MHz and say, CAS 8, you shouldn't really need much extra VCCIO.

Hey thanks Clunk for the info (I also read your OC guide-nice job!). I was curious as I saw one article claiming they needed a VccSA of 1.1, a VccIO of 1.106, and a PLL of 1.9 in order to get their 2600k cpu to run stable at 4.8ghz (48*100) with RAM at 1600mhz (I don't recall what latency at which they were running the memory).

That's what I'm here for. :wave:

Got a P8P67-M and I'm stuck with 404 bios so no "Internal Pll Overvoltage" for me :confused:
Pro version of the board is already updated to 415 so I a bit disappointed :shakes:

New BIOSes for Pro, Deluxe, and Maximum IV Extreme!

http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.ph...17&postcount=1

I'm having issues with getting my ram to run at 1600mhz

I have 8 GB of ADATA 1600mhz

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820211409

I have it set to 1600mhz in Bios and have giving it 1.55 volts

It's still reading at 1066mhz in cpuz

I do have the timings set to auto just raised the volts hopping it would get the correct settings.

Can someone post there info for 4.8 4.9ghz range on the Deluxe

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=265477

New BIOSes, software and drivers ^^

there is somethings strange with motherboard , i think the bios need few fix , the motherboard some time refuse to post on setting previously tested as stable 2 h linux , few try later it work just fun , also i was unable to run high memory clock with processor freq , i have a 2400 mhz ram it run fine at 4000 mhz but to go over 4600 i need 1600 mhz or less

Try more IO or SA voltages. Maybe your mem controller needs more juice.

Hi, Can you tell me what "Internal Pll Overvoltage" does? I know what a PLL is just don't know how this setting works in this context.

^^^^^
Also, can anyone say how much overvoltage the PLL gets when this setting is turned on? Or is it just "more"

http://www.overclock.net/attachments...ist-4.6ghz.jpg

This is on 1252

Not bad I think i can push 5ghz the temps stay real cool under water

I have it set to 1600mhz in Bios and have giving it 1.55 volts

It's still reading at 1066mhz in cpuz

I do have the timings set to auto just raised the volts hopping it would get the correct settings.

Can someone post there info for 4.8 4.9ghz range on the Deluxe

I have a similar issue driving 4 sticks of RAM.

I have had all 4 sticks in the system individually and ran 5-6 passes of Memtest 86 on each module and each module passes I put all 4 sticks in and run memtest again and it falls over inside about 15mins.

I am currently testing each set (2 sticks) but I believe its either the CPU IMC or the board. I have tested all 4 slots and none some to have any problems its just when I try to push all 4 slots.

This is with 2 lots of 2x2Gb Corsair XMS3 1600C9 at stock! Using XMP profiles to set voltage. Can I do anything to help the chips IMC? Bump a voltage slightly?

This is a work PC so dont really want to have to play with voltages to get it to run.

This is Exactly the problem I am trying to Avoid. I want to push a decent 24/7 OC, 4.7ghz on air, but I would also like to run 16gb as it would make some of the editting etc, I do on occaision much smoother.
Do you think using These dimms would make a difference, as 1.35v at 1600 would stress the IMC less no?

I run on a P8P67 Deluxe, 2500k 4.6Ghz 24/7 on air. I have 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws X RAM using XMP profile (1600 @ 1.50v) and it runs great.

Need to fix my cold boot problem

Next time before you start you system follow the steps from 1-6 below

1. Make sure system is off
2. Unplug power supply cable
3. Take out battery from mobo
4. Back of mobo near audio plug little black reset button push it for 10-15 sec
5. Put battery back into mobo
6. Plug back in power supply and restart system and you should not get cold boots anymore :)

Nice, so a kit like THIS should be ok then? I just need it to be stable, as I am allowed quite a bit of leeway to personal use of this comp, but I do need it to be stable when i have to work on it ^^

I don't know if this is a bad thing or not, but I figured I would ask anyhow. After this BIOS update the speedstep does not function right. Before at idle my computer would go down to like 1.6ghz and then when there was a load it would go to the OC'd setting of 4.6ghz. Now it constantly stays at 4.6ghz. Speedstep is enabled and the CPU C1E, C3, and C6. I only set the multiplier on the AI Tweaker page and the CPU Configuration and CPU Power Management multiplier is still set to Auto as it was on the last beta BIOS. Any ideas what is going on here? I may have messed something up along the road, but I set everything exactly how I had it to the best of my knowledge. Thanks!

I think the fix for this is to power off, unplug the power supply, clear the CMOS, plug in the power supply, clear the CMOS again, boot into Windows, then reboot. Supposedly that clears the CPU tables (whatever that is) and is reported to fix the problem.

I followed bingo13's instructions on the BIOS page:

"Try this please, shutdown the system. Remove power from the power supply for a minute or two, clear CMOS, then reattach power. Startup, enter UEFI and input your required settings, for your memory please manually change the memory speed, timings and dram voltage based on your kit specifications. Reboot, enter Windows, then shutdown again. Now restart the system. This will clear the ME and memory/CPU tables. It could be that after flashing the BIOS up from a lower version (pre-1053) that the tables were never properly cleared. This is especially true if the MEI driver is not loaded. Let me know if this helps, if not we will go to step two."

Still have the same issue. I can try again by clearing the CMOS twice in the way you described and see if that fixes it though. Thanks.

EDIT - After doing this again how you said it seems to have somewhat worked...but seems finicky. Voltage doesn't seem to be dropping with the processor speed. Hmm...hopefully some others can chime in with their experiences on this.

Yep that's that one, it should work fine. I'm sure other 16GB packages might work, but I never overclocked anything before and got them just to be safe. :) After much testing, I can affirm it's safe for my setup. I'm even able to get into Windows at 50x multiplier on the 1253 bios but the voltage/temps under stress were way too high for my air cooler.

villa1n, that's the kit I have and it works like a charm in the PRO version. Running at 1600 @ the stock 1.5 volts and O/C'd to 4.5mhz. I have the Coolermaster 212+ and it fits, but you will have to slide the fan up a couple of mil's to clear the RAM. Not a huge deal and you can't even tell visually.

Voltage will not drop if you set a manual voltage, only way to get it to track processor speed is by using the offset mode.

Oh I see! I only remember watching the voltage drop when I first built the computer at default settings. Makes sense. Thank you very much for your help!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have the best of both worlds? Set the voltage maually as sort of a threshold, but at the same time have it throttle down when needed?

Also, could you (or anyone) explain the offset mode exactly? I looked in the book, but it doesn't really say too much. Maybe this has already been explained somewhere on the forum. I'll look around as well.

Thanks.

I know the theory, but not the way it really works. Offset just adds (or subtracts) whatever voltage you specify to the base voltage. So if the base voltage is 1.2 and you need 1.4 for your overclock, you would specify a +0.2 offset. Problem is knowing what the base voltage is, and I haven't seen anywhere that spells that out - so I think it is trial and error where you have to set an offset, then check, then change the offset, and repeat.

Since I can't get mine to sleep above 4.5Ghz, I am just using Auto for now, and it works as advertised - a little high on the load voltage, but nice and low at idle.

I see...thank you very much for the explanation.

Trying to decide between the Pro or Deluxe for my OC/gaming rig.

Wont use any of the additional features on the Deluxe, and will likely do crossfire later on.

It's $100aud diff between the two...so really, when does the 16phase help? I really wanna get a 2600K as close to 5ghz.

Will a Pro suffice?

Yes

But it really depends on the 2600K cpu you get from what I read on another forum where a Asus rep posted basically saying that -----> Expectations regarding K series overclocking in general and on ASUS P67 motherboardsPrior to the recommendations on overclocking the K series, I am outlining our results to set expectations.
The results below are based on the range of the CPU turbo multiplier when overclocking.
Results are representative of 100 D2 CPUs that were binned and tested for stability under load; these results will most likely represent retail CPUs.
1. Approximately 50% of CPUs can go up to 4.4~4.5 GHz
2. Approximately 40% of CPUs can go up to 4.6~4.7 GHz
3. Approximately 10% of CPUs can go up to 4.8~5 GHz (50+ multipliers are about 2% of this group)

Hope you are one of the 10% or 2% which finds that golden cpu.. :D

They might've been talking about the auto OC feature? Or some arbitrary voltage ceiling? Much more than 10% of the CPUs I've seen can do 4.8+

Hi, I have my 2500K stable at 4,8Ghz, he made it thru 4,9Ghz but I needed to give him more cpu voltage, wich I'm not confortable with...

The problem is, that after all tests he's stable, but when I turn it on the next day, the mobo doesn't turn on, it just reboots 2x times and the EFI gets the cpu in stock mode.

Does this happen to anyone? Or is it just me?

Thanks :)


EDIT: Sorry, didn't saw this thread :D

Anyway is it true that 1,35v is the maximum safe voltage for the Sandy cpu's?

I consider gold chip?

I have to raise vcore on my CPU to 1.44v if i want to get it to 4.8Ghz.

That is just unfair.

can anyone help with this?
This usb device error never stops, pop up every 2 sec.
I only have connected mouse and keyborad.

asus p8p67 evo (1253)

Actually I think most can do 5Ghz, but most of us don't want to push that much voltages to our new CPUs.

Did you install all the drivers that are on the cd that came with the board? There are quite a few.

As someone said, make sure you install the drivers on the CD. I think one has the word management in it and that fixed an unknown device in the device manager for me.

Anyone else having strange behavior with the PCIe slots? I am having the sleep problems, and while troubleshooting (lots of sleeps, tweaking BIOS, etc) I started getting problems where it would boot with no video, and with the red VIDEO LED lit. Got to the point where it wouldn't even boot off a hard power off. Finally got it working again (not sure how), but not my top PCIe slot is reporting (to GPU-z) that it is running at x1 1.1 - and video performance confirms that. I tried the lower slot and it runs at x8 2.0 (as it should), but all attempts at using the top slot all result in it running at x1 1.1 (for a while it was x1 2.0, but now not). Any ideas? I'm leaning towards defective board, unless someone knows of a hidden power saving setting or something that might be causing it.

Reset your BIOS and set it all to default and see if you still have an issue.

You need to start from scratch.

Yeah, tried that. Also tried to flash back to 1053, but of course that is a no-go. Tried both clearing CMOS, and loading defaults, same problem both ways.

Just got my new box running. Only a few minor glitches so far.

1) I'm using a manual fan controller. It wasn't obvious how to disable the BIOS CPU fan error warning. You have to set the minimum fan speed alert in BIOS to Ignore.

2) The "No physical disk" BIOS error is annoying, even though there is a disk. Easy enough to troubleshoot, I just turned off the Marvel and JMB devices in BIOS since I have enough with the Intel devices. As a bonus, it boots up a lot faster now.

3) CPU temp was steady at idle around 32C. When I upgraded from factory BIOS to 1003 BIOS, it jumped to 48C. It still reports around 32C in software like Asus AISuite Monitor, so I suspect the BIOS has a glitch.

4) The diagnostic LEDs were helpful troubleshooting an error that resulted in lots of beeping my first power-up. Turns out I forgot to reattach the 6-pin cable from my GPU to the power supply after I had re-routed it.

5) As mentioned, I also had the unknown PCI controller in Device Manager. I found a thread on another forum that correctly identified it as the Intel Management Engine Interface utility that you can get from Asus in the utilities section of the download area. Sounds like you can also just disable it, too. This was my fault, I didn't bother with the CD/DVD setup that came with the box, I just grabbed the latest drivers from Asus and considered that one as unnecessary at first. Still not sure what it does.

Other than that, so far so good, but I haven't had it running long enough to do any testing or overclocking yet. Took me half a day to get the dumb cables routed nicely- hardest part of the whole job.

System: P8P67 Deluxe, i7-2600k, 8GB CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8, Lian Li PC-B25S with Scythe flex fans, EVGA GTX580, Corsair AX850, Noctua NH-C12P SE14 cooler, Crucial c300 128GB, Win 7 Pro 64.

So far I'm running stock speeds but using the XMP profile for memory at 1600 CAS8 timings. Windows mem test ran fine in basic and standard modes. It's taking forever on Enhanced tests, it stuck on 21% for a few hours but finished with no problems detected.

Otherwise, seems to be running well and is ultra quiet on medium fan settings, even quieter than my Q6600/Radeon5850 system in an Antec Solo case that (subjectively) moves less air. The new one is inaudible on low fan and the idle temp only goes up a couple degrees. On high it is clearly audible but is also moving a good amount of air.

Should have no problems with the games I play. Granted, I had no problems with my last box which is now the kids' gaming machine. Now I just need to order a 120Hz monitor.

Then you have a bad mobo.

I had a Deluxe mobo that was making loud electrical noises when i ever i moved my mouse. I exchanged it to Pro, still same issue, then i exchanged it again for another Pro. And now i have a working mobo with no issues.


At times you just get a bad batch. Mobo makers rush when they make the product at first, thus making more mistakes in the process do to high demand.
