p8p67-ws-revolution-asus-1007_slp.zip

i have the pro version. iu hope ASUS will fix the "downgrade BIOS" because now i have the latest and i cannot go back to see the differences.
Also i hope ASUS will remove the 1.5v CPU VID limitation in bios in order if we have a good cooling system to boot with more voltage!

The big border seams to be doing good, but I'm wondering if there is a big difference between BIOSes (or other important factors impacting 24/7 OC) for ASUS P8P67-M PRO vs ASUS P8P67 PRO?.

I'm running a pair of these rock solid with 16GB RAM @ 4GHz. iirc I've done a 4.5GHz system with this board. Seems OK but ASUS forgot to include the M in the BIOS bundle they sent me yesterday.

With the release BIOS I couldn't POST over 4.9GHz and couldn't get Windows over 4.8GHz. Now I'm stability testing 5GHz on a Deluxe.

1. If any of the following devices are not detected or not usable:
- Devices installed on PCIEx1_1 slot
- Devices installed on PCIEx1_2 slot
- The additional SATA6G port from Marvell 9128
- eSATA controller
- Devices installed on PCI_1 slot
- Devices installed on PCI_2 slot
- Onboard 1394 controller
- Second LAN
Please check the device manager under 'Storage controllers' , look for a device with the name 'ACS-6xxxx'. The manufacturer is 'Accusys Inc.' and will have an exclamation mark next to it.
This driver may be installed automatically when users run Windows Update, which causes a malfunction of these devices. Please uninstall the driver,reboot, and then those devices/slots will be available. We have asked MS to pull this driver from the auto update procedure.
2. If you are receiving random BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) under Windows 7 OS without any warning at stock or what appears to be stable OC settings, please download the following patch from Microsoft to have the problem fixed (98% fix rate): This hotfix will be in SP1.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979444
3. If you are experiencing long boot up times (greater than 30 seconds) or slow performance of SATA HDD or SSDs, please remove Intel RST 10.1.1008 if you have it installed and use the Intel boxed AHCI driver in Windows 7 or Windows VISTA. For XP users please try IDE mode until Intel releases a new update. The new update will also include full support for bootable RAID arrays over 2TB in size along with other bug fixes/performance enhancements specific to P67 (new firmware will be released to the board manufacturers also).
4. If you are still unable to install AiSuiteII after using the Patcher file, you might be using a COA hack for Windows 7. Please reinstall OS without the hack and it will work. If you are sure the OS install is hack free, then please PM me.
5. If you are unable to enable SLI support with various versions of Nvidia drivers (especially 266 and up), please reinstall the OS with the latest BIOS installed. I know this is drastic, but the SLI key format has changed and the OS might not recognize the new key in the updated BIOS (especially if non released NV drivers were previously installed, drivercleaner will not clear this setting during an uninstall). This should not occur in future BIOS releases.
6. If you are unable to display BCLK properly, not able to overclock under the OS (including Auto Tuning)…etc, please ensure the Intel MEI driver from the support CD or latest version from Intel has been installed. All controls related to the CPU are controled by the MEI under the OS and several even in UEFI mode. I think this is a must install under the Sandybridge platform even if you manually overclock.
7. If the power saving features not working after updating to BIOS 1253, please verify the power profile has been set to balanced mode instead of Performance Mode. As long as EIST is not disabled or CPU Voltage is to manual mode (use offset), the power saving modes will continue to operate normally. In addition, if you have enabled Internal PLL Voltage, then resume/hibernate will not work correctly until Intel has an update (or this might end up being standard operating mode).
8. The differences between the EPU switch, UEFI EPU option, and EPU under AiSuite II is as follows:
- EPU Switch: Once enabled, it will enable EPU option in BIOS and default to auto mode.
- EPU option in UEFI: Various options are available to select the level of power saving (lowering Vcore voltage when the system load decreases). Both the BIOS option and EPU switch will not effect performance, however stability at high overclocks will depend on the quality of the CPU and DRAM used.
- EPU under AiSuite II: Same as previous generations, 3 modes to choose from, AUTO (dynamic change multiplier and Vcore based on CPU load), High Performance (EPU OFF), and Max power saving (Drop CPU multiplier to lowest multiplier with relative VID decreases).

We will have a new BIOS set for the P67/H67 boards in about a week that will offer improved performance profiles, tuning, and bug fixes.

I tuned the LLC and the offset so that the load vcore is the same as it was before and it seems to be just as stable. The only difference now is that the spikes are gone and my idle vcore is low (since the offset is lower).

I didn't zero the offset. I turned it down by a lot though.

I didn't realize the LLC increased the base voltage as the load is increased. During the original i7 days, LLC only eliminated the vdroop (with very little overshoot). I turned off LLC because of the unwanted voltage spikes and the rumors that it was killing CPUs.

Now, LLC seems to actually increase the vcore - so I don't have to (as much). I guess SB is very different. (or at least the mobo...)


Right now I'm testing 4.8 GHz:
LLC = Very High and offset = 0.025.

If this is stable for a few hours, then 4.5 GHz will be my new 24/7. (I do need the safety margin since I'll be doing software dev work - so I need some degree of reliability.)
I'll be retesting everything once I get Win7 SP1 with AVX LinX... I know that's gonna put a lot more extra stress on the chip.

Running your Dimm's at 1.6v, are they normally 1.5 jdec's or are they the gskill 1.6's ? Just wondering if you can keep them stable at 1.5v. Have similar build in progress, just waiting on parts to arrive, ordered the 1.6 gskills @ 1600, but with the tight timings, might lower 1.5 and try cl8 timings. The volts seem highish for the clocks, do you know the batch number of your cpu?

Thx

@bingo13 thank you for #2. I was pulling my hair out why it'd crash because I tested my system thoroughly.

how about fixing blinking command prompt and no boot when using higher multipliers.
100x51 is stable, for 100x52 I have to boot 99.5x52 and then up in AI and its stable.

Also there seems to be bad OVP/OCP when using more than 1.5vCore, cuts power when even a small load hits the cpu

Deluxe on 1253

The OVP/OCP is set tight at this point, we are looking at upping the cutoff point to 1.55V in the next point upgrade. Not to sound an alarm but after speaking with Intel and our own internal lab results, these CPUs tend to degrade with voltages over 1.55V, some more quickly than others. ;) I will check on the 52x multi again but I am running at 54x on the Deluxe and EVO boards without the problem you listed.

Has Intel or your own lab experienced any degradation using the Internal PLL Overvolt feature? Additionally is the P8P67-M series able to sustain a high overclock on the 2600K without triggering OCP?

Thanks!

Anyone who have updated to the 1204, and can give some feedback.
I'm looking for Asus P8P67 Deluxe, 2600k users :)

Gary any way of using a preset 1 volt for 1600mhz and a user set voltage for load conditions (EIST and co enabled )... hate to see my CPU idle at 1600Mhz at 1.28Vcore... I experience some BSODs if I set the voltage manually when idling at 1600mhz...

Updated to UEFI 1204 - rock solid, so far.

Running: 4.8Ghz, 1.35vcore, vccio 1.0v, vccsa 0.9v

Cold boot seems to be fixed for me - and that's basically the only issue I've had with former 1053 and 1253.

No I'm only looking forward to the 13xx UEFI, so I can enable DDRIII 2000 for my ram :)

I was experiencing choppy movie playback on my system. I am running the 1053 bios and I had the above version of Intel RST installed. I saw this post and uninstalled the Intel RST and the movie playback is smooth now (after rebooting).

Thanks for the info!

So when you say new firmware will be released to board manufacturers, are you referring to a bios update?

wait 1204 is newer than 1253?

Sounds like the 13xx bios update will be the one to wait for.

- Maximus IV Extreme (BIOS 0088)

http://91.121.148.119/downloads/BIOS...-ASUS-0088.ROM

-adds X-mode under cpu performance settings

I've installed 1204 and "upgraded" again for 1253, more stable with the same volts, at least for me. But I've also found that the "Extreme" and "ultra high" LCC chagend a bit in 1204, explaning, in windows with the same settings I get differente values ( in volts ) from 1253 to 1204, for exemple with dynamic vCore with + 0.050v with 1253 I get from 1.424~1.448v in windows and with 1204 I get from 1.404v (or something like this ) ~ 1.436v. Was this a intended change ?

We will raise the manual voltage limits in the next UEFI series update. In the meantime, just use offset with EIST and C-States enabled, end up with the best of both worlds. :)

p8p67 1253 or p8p67 0606?

whats the difference?

The 'H' P8H67 ;)

Can I take it from the lack of response about the ability to be able to rollback that it isn't going to happen?

Does this mean the backup BIOS on the CD will become effectively useless once a non revertible BIOS is flashed?

I flashed my mobo to 1204 and the everything seems to be working fine so far.

Settings previously stable with 1253 no longer stable on 1204 :( At this rate I should just go back to 1053!

I am on 1053 and for the life of me my MAX is only 4.6GHz @ 1.375v but at 4.5GHz I can go 1.275v. Not sure all of you posting above 5Ghz are using BIOS then booting into Windows or using Asus Tuner II?

Any advantages on using a higher BLCK with the Sandy/Memory/Mobo? I can reach a 107.2 block bringing my memory up to 2000MHz @ 7-7-7-24 with no problems.

Going to use Asus TunerII for a bit before I jump to 1253..

You'll need to turn on PLL Overvoltage to get the higher multipliers stable. Not really much advantage to upping the BCLK, and can cause major problems, so not really recommended.

Thanks that worked for me... :yepp:

Also I disabled in BIOS Intel Speed Step as well as Intel V Technology and also changed in W7 Power Management to High Performance. But my core speed & multi is still dropping to 16 = 1600MHz until the cores are being used then they go up.. Anyone know what settings to put into BIOS to make overclock stay on? :confused:

A lot of people are having trouble getting it to stay at a constant frequency (although I'm not sure why you'd want that). I'm not sure I've actually seen anyone successfully do it on this board. Turning off EIST and the C states doesn't appear to work.

Strange....I've found I need more CPU voltage to boot to windows 7 compare with Windows XP...
With 1.18v I can Prime 95 For 10 min+ @XP @ 4.2Ghz but not even get into Windows 7 with the same setting...

Thank you guys for your quick reply's.. I am now stable from 4.6 now to 4.8 but anything above is unstable for benches... I may try to move to 1253 later tonight..

QFT with Pro on 1204.

All my 4 2600Ks (L039B, L042Bs and L045A) maxed @ 100X51 stuck at windows boot or blinking command prompt

I'm still having cold dual boot problem.
The PC was off for aprox. 16 hours, and when i turn on the PC it first booted, for which seemed like a check. Then rebooted with with no signal to the monitor. I had to manually force a shutdown to let the computer boot with signal to the monitor. Also it failed my overclock with the F1 option, although the overclock I'm running has been rock-solid :/

I'm confused...

the overclock failed message is due to you manually shutting down the PC. Try a lower ram voltage at 1.6ish...

Hmm running 1,6v on the ram atm, but did you mean that it'll fix the dual boot problem? Thing is, when I've had the PC off for an amount of time, it starts with a dual boot - and the second reboot it just sits powered on without signal to the monitor, which again forces me to manually hold the power on button to shut it down - and then back on.

The lowering ram voltage may fix that, as you mentioned - will check tonight. Although, the most enoying thing is the dual boot everytime the PC has been off for a longer period :(

4.8GHz @ 1.350v stable now still on 1053....

glad im not crazy! I had a gd65 and it was running superpi32m with same chip at 5200, deluxe cannot boot 100x52. Sure its a small bios issue :) time to wait now

After the fourth cpus, I started to think that I'm crazy:D
Yep, one of it boot ok @ 53X on TP667XE:)

My PC wont got to sleep with 1204 and 1253 BIOS. BIOS settings are all at default and CPU is only at 4Ghz.

Were you talking to me? I didn't mention anything about my memory in the post that you quoted. :shrug:

I'm running my 4 x 4GB @ 1333 MHz with 1.5v. That's all stock. I might try for 1600MHz with 1.65 later.

ok try this;
make sure you have latest BIOS from ASUS,locate TPU and EPU on your MB and set to default,turn off PSU/take out battery for 10~15 sec/back in enter bios load optimized default/advanced/APM/power on by PCIE
hope this works for you

I'll try this immediately, although 1 question - how do i know what's the default position of those switches? I haven't touched them since I got the hw and installed the system in my chassis...

ok - well I've uninstalled suite, cba with it tbh. But I won't find out if this worked until tomorrow, when i come back and turn on the PC again.
Regardless, I've done the tips you said and I hope it'll work.

I guess the 1204 bios from this thread is the same as the one on asus.com site?

Ye I uninstalled it too, make sure to kill the asus services, there is 3 of them.

I'd like to make two suggestion for the asus bios, I'd like to be able to enter an idling vcore, atm I set it manually but it's kinda ridic to see it idling @ 1600 with 1.32v all the time :eek: so I suggest an option to manually set an idling vcore :)

Also I'd love you to put in an option to you can export all your bios settings to a .txt file on the primary hd, you could then be easily able to post your settings on forums or even to send to asus

Use Offset Mode for setting your voltage and your CPU will dynamically adjust its Vcore. My 2600K idles around .996V for example, the bumps up to 1.336V at load.

Is it possible to flash from the 1204 back to 1253?

With EZ Flash, yes.

Ok, so I have 1253 bios and every time my system boots it has to reinstall the bluetooth drivers, anyone else having this issue? Also, it seems when I first get into windows my USB keyboard and mouse do not work for about two minutes. It seems to be related to the bluetooth issues since once it has installed everything works fine. Any ideas?

You tried newer 1204? I know it's lower number but it's the newer version.

That bluetooth-thingy pops up with BIOS 1204 too. I'm not sure what it's up to, but it doesn't seams to be reinstalling drivers. It seams to be some kind of initiation, or something.

I had that keyboard delay at W7-log on too, but only for about 10-sec or so (also it seams like 10 minuets LOL), but somehow it's gone now. I don't know how, but it's gone now. That bluetooth-thingy still pops opp tho, it doesn't seams to be the the source of delay.

EDIT:
I've checked closer, that bluetooth-thingy pops op and says "other devices can not connect to this computer" (or something with this meaning), I opened it up and checked the "Allow bluetooth devices to find this computer" check-box on "others"-tab, and now it has stopped pooping up ;)

My p8p67 pro is on 0402 and everything seems fine so far...havent started o/c'ing though.

Should I leave it for now or upgrade to at least 1053beta?

@chestnut if you aren't going to oc, whichever won't matter. If you are going to OC, flash the latest.

I'm using Maximus, system hung during BIOS flashing from 0675 to 0802.
Now I'm stuck at BIOS Recovery screen "Insert USB/HDD/DVD containing BIOS, please reset.."
But when I used USB/DVD bios, my PC keeps rebooting in blank screen with debug code F5 (stock bios 0406 on DVD also doesn't help)
tried bios 0802, 0675, 0406 (stock)
I cant go into BIOS setup and windows, the Recovery tool is like not working.

If it is working, wait for the 13xx series at least. No sense upgrading if you don't need it.

The latest official BIOS is 1204. If your board works fine on 0402, then I suggest wait for 1301 before flashing.

Update - Qualification testing is going well on the upcoming 1302 UEFI series.
1. Per Bug Core save problem is fixed
2. HD Performance is a bit better
3. New auto rules for power management is working well
4. USB performance is up
5. Memory tuning profiles and performance enhancements are working well
6. Greater memory compatibility (still fine tuning Elpida Hypers, which will be in the next update, these modules were designed with Bloomfield/Gulftown in mind and expected settings for those platforms in the SPDs do not mesh nicely with Sandy Bridge, especially the VTT requirements)
7. Auto Tuning is improved slightly
8. Improved Resume/Hibernate return times

Issues still Open on my end-
1. MS Wireless Receiver 3.1 and under appears to be causing drift problems in UEFI in certain setups, Wireless Receivers above 4.0 have no issues, checking older wireless mice and keyboards now (3 years or older)
2. Elpida Hyper 2000+ Kits, still fine tuning as mentioned above
3. Still waiting on updated PCH firmware and new RST driver set from Intel to address several minor bugs

Guys I havnt had time to read threw all these threads but Im having a cold boot problem,I can get the system running 100% stable in windows and as soon as I shut it down it never wants to post on boot and always double boots and says oc failed.

It does this even with stock settings and Im running the 1204 bios.

What mobo version. It is highly recommended to clear the Cmos after flash. On my Deluxe the button can be gotten to at the I/O plate.

After reading for about an houe straight this is what Iv done to help.I have the pro board.

Latest bios
clear jumper
go into advance setting/apm and enable wake on pcie and pci.
set every,I mean every timing manually and dram voltage manually.

With all this I can get it to boot every time from cold,but it still double boots but at least it dosnt hang up and no post at all and need to do like 4-5 trys to get it to post.

I can live with the double boot the way I got it running now,but before was anoying.

What about reducing the amount of time it takes for the board to POST?

Also, is reducing the blink-rate of the Power LED when in S3 sleep being considered? It's just WAY too fast.

Have you disabled all the controllers that you don't use in EFI, as well as the asus splash screen ?

The board posts quite fast for me, except when my 2TB USB drives are plugged in...but that would also happen with my previous board.

Maybe thats my problem. EFI was supposed to be much faster, yet this new ASUS board takes like 15 seconds to post, longer than any other board I have had. I suppose it could be related to all my large hard drives I have. I have two 2TB drives, three 1.5TB drives, and one 1TB drive. I will have to try boot speed differences with only the one TB drive plugged in and see what happens.

Actually I'd want it not to blink at all. Just stay on or off (preferably off).

Hello,
Is there any way to increase the vcore mini without increasing the vcore max with offset ?

because i need 1.38 v to be stable at 4.8 ghz with manual voltage but with offset first i need more vcore like 1.40v to be stable on 8 thread and secondly i cant be stable on 1 thread because the vcore mini is 1.288v on 1 core full loaded and no matter if i up the offset, the mini vcore on 1 core full load will still be 1.288 :/ and so i can't be stable when only 1 core is loaded.

i've tryed all the llc and the regular seems to have higher mini which is still not stable but at least i can do 5 pass instead of 0 pass but this is with high offset and the max reach 1.440v.

with manual vcore i need 1.38 v max to pass prime and linx avx so this mini at 1.288 seems really too low even for 1 core.

update:

i finally got the right settings to pass linx 1 hour on 1 thread with offset
llc on medium with offset at 0.110
vcore mini is now 1.320v on linx 1 thread and the max on linx 8 thread is 1.408 with some spike at 1.42
not that great since i normally need 1.38v but still win since my vcore not going to be maxed often
I tryed in game(arma2) and im more around 1.35/38v so i guess its not a big deal.

Does 1204 have PLL overvoltage or is it still just in 1053?

1204 does have pll overvoltage yes

anyone can lower PCH voltage on the sabretooth ? Pro and DLx work fine, sabretooth always resets back to 1.05... wicked :p

is this a trick leeghoofd :D lowering helps?

Hi! I wanted to know when Asus plans to release 13xx bios?:confused:
I can not use ram-F3-17066CL8D 4Gbps g.skill! very unstable ..:(:( hiper chip? This ram is on QVL p8p67 deluxe.
excuse my English.

So I have a weird issue with the SATA ports. I originally built my Intel SSD RAID on ports 2 and 3 (SATAII), however, if I move them to ports 0 and 1 (SATAIII) the RAID manager does not see port 0. The bios sees them, but not the RAID manager, so for now I am leaving them on ports 2 and 3. Any ideas? Do you think port 0 is messed up?

Also, I was having an issue with running my PERC5i card in the x4 slot. The system would freeze during the Windows load. If I remove one of my GTX460's it would boot fine. This is only an issue if I let the Windows boot manager load the OS. If I set the boot to my OS drives then all is fine. It's not a big deal since I just point the boot directly to the OS drives, but I find it interesting that the Windows Boot manager would freeze during the windows load and system does not when I point it directly at the OS drives.

asus is too slow in releasing new bios! too long and not good. :down:

I had no problem with the RipjawsX CL9 rams running at CL 7-10-7-24 1T (1.57Vdimm) with the Dlx motherboard (1253 bios ) Kimi.RK. Got them running at the same speed now with the Sabretooth... no issues...

ripjaws uses Hynix chips .. Perfect Storm 2133 cl8 should be hyper if I'm not mistaken.

Corsair GTX 2 needed 7-8-7-21 1T, but a tad more voltage then with 1366. 1.7 to pass hyperpi 32M...

The lowering ram voltage may fix that, as you mentioned - will check tonight. Although, the most enoying thing is the dual boot everytime the PC has been off for a longer period :(

I've currently two PCs doing this in the field and three on the bench. Setting APM/PCIE/Enable as per Mason's post helps but doesn't solve the issue. One system is a Deluxe, two are vanilla. The Deluxe hangs on 59 on the POST indicator. It seems to happen across all ASUS P67 boards on both the 1204 and 1253 BIOSes.

the 1302 doesnt seem much different to me, bclk changes mean you have to get to fail overclocking message then enter bios and f10 and they work this is a bit crazy imo.

Huh, is there a new UEFI out? since you refer to the 1302?

it will be out soon but doesnt seem to do much as far as I can tell

Any news for WS Revolution? :D

Has the ability to downgrade BIOS versions been addressed yet?

That is, has anyone figured out an easy/noobish workaround way to do it yet?

Has always been possible with Ezflash, just remember to use an usb pin with a FAT32 format.

It says file image outdated TentpOle, how do you workaround that ?

And this two issues?? M4E
*** IROG firmware Corrupt ****
Bios 1 x951
Bios 2 04xx

Symptom - Stuck at multi 16
Cause - Nada
Fix - Change to Bios 2 which should be ure Default bios mine i think is 04xx
and it will update the Firmware. There will be two boots of update
then enter bios like normal boot. Then switch back to Bios 1 and IROG firmware will be updated again like previous.
Then enter ure profiles etc all should be no prob

Solution that failed
Updating ure Bios 1 will not fix this or reflashing ure bios 1 to 901, 950,951

Sort this out ppl on how to reflash the firmware on a easier level.

*** Dual Boot on high dram clock on Cold Start aka 2200mhz and above ***

It only works on the Deluxe model, the others don't allow downgrading because they changed the HW ID for those boards.

So did they stop with the bios updates after the chipset fiasco? He last said they would have another in a week, however its been two weeks since that.

BIOS updates are still being done. It is difficult to pin down how long testing and qualification may take.

That's what I figured might happen....no more support.

I hope not but, :shrug:.

I'm having to tell customers hit by the Cold Boot POST fail problem to wait for their replacements. Sux
