Release Notes
[ 1801 ]
----------------------
1. 2.2TB or larger HDD can be supported under RAID mode.
(Need to install IRST 10.5 version driver first, you can find it under "SATA" catalogue)
thanks to Hiker at vip.asus.forums
went to play with sabertooth and cant overclock
if i set multi to 46 blk goes to 71 lol:shakes: set to 48 it boots @ 42 n 80blk lol
its like its stuk @ 3.3
i had her @ 4.8
kid went into bios and selected oc tuner lol he was @ 4.3 on load 1.6 idle
figured it out lol i think
so board tells me i'm @ 3.3 aida64 tells me i'm @ 3.3 but cpuz tells me i'm @ 4.8 lol
guess wich proggy is right lol
1801 bios input anyone??
Sup guys cheers to all new on this thread
i got this mobo and thought the shields was made on aluminium but is plastic...
can anyone show me how u are using it ? i see that i have to put a fan in the middle but i read some of putting a 12x12 fan pointing to the cpu area and i didnt get that...
or u just removed that shield ?
thanks in advance
Sergio
i didnt use the fan slot
i put 2 60mm fans on the pwm with zipties lol
just dissable c1 c3 c6
set multi before dissabling speedstep
my board is quirky lol
but works good
thanks friend !Quote:

im building a PC for my wife so the sabert is there and if i can get a nicer 2600K i will put it there on the UD7 it boots x54 4C/8T benched 3DMV and 3DM11 hope the asus can do at least the 5Ghz stable HT i run it on my UD7
thanks bud !
Sergio
no i didnt take cover offQuote:

Guys
been a GIGABYTE fan i will test this mobo that i liked a lot
couple of questions ?
1) should i install a fan on the middle a 5x5 one for max airflow ?
2) is that plastic cover efective why plastic ? doesnt overheat ?
3) wich is a stable bios to start ?
i would like a pic of a installed fan on the mobo if not to much asking :)
cheers to all i will report how it behaves compared to my UD7
Sergio
install the 6CM fan Sergio it really helps... will have to dig for the screenshots of the thermal radar...
thanks leeg !Quote:

I ordred this MB and dumb me a i7 2600. No K.
Its working fine, and i have OC it a bit. But there is a slight problem where the multiplier dont go up to x42 as i have in UEFI bios in windows and CPU-Z when under load. It goes to x39 and is rocksollid there. It gives a nice OC of 600, but from what i have in BIOS it should be 4.3+. aka 900 OC.
I used the auto OC function first and it set BLK to 103 and x42 turbo multiplier.
Anyone got and idea to why this happens, and it doesnt go to max multiplier underload in Windows?
There is also another part of this. I tried to set the BLK to 100 again and then try. The multiplier was then 40 of the bat in windows. And during a quick test at diffrent loads it fluxed from x39 to x41. But again not hitting x42.
I also tried only running 1 thread of test to see if it hit x42 but nothing diffrent on both BLK settings.
Ill add a pic from testing @103 and x42 in bios. Showing x39 in CPU-Z. (have gotten Realtemp btw, i know asus thing aint most accurat)
Attachment 117587
C1 on
C3 off
C6 off
Speedstep on
(have tried everything off also, but no diffrence)
Any tip or help would be much helpfull! :)
guys im testing asus i really love the BIOS and features, but im kinda lost on Load Line Calibration, wich one u use ? i tested regular and high
thanks !
Sergio
i use high the droop is 0.02vQuote:

cheers and thanks !
should i upgrade to latest bios ? cauz i see that it dont display CPU speed correctly on POST and inside BIOS mine brought 1502
any tip i appreciatte very much as im starting to discover new things with this board

Hey guys I just bought this board and love it but was wondering if anyone has had the bios hang right before the marvell 3.0 controller loads. Every so often the bios just gives me a flashing cursor and won't load. I can disable the marvella 3.0 controller since I don't use it or if I just reset the computer and it is fine but it hangs occassionally, just a little irritation is all.
anyone?
Yup, you're not alone.Quote:

I'm joining the club. Completed my rebuild about a week now. Getting issues with BSOD and freezes before POST and such. It doesn't matter if I'm stock or OC, something's not quite right yet. I am running my Hitachi on the Marvell controller, should I go to the Intel? Worth a try I guess.
A OC noob question, if I formatted and installed on the Marvell, is it safe to just move it? I noticed earlier some backup programs were causing shut down issues, got those too, Shadow Protect is my backup. I once let it go and it took over 30 minutes to reboot. I don't have that much patience so I just pop it. Yet SOMETIMES the reboot button fails! I have to hold Power to kill it. Oy! I built this to end issues with the old build, PSU is same, but in PCP&C I trust. ;-)
It's running between upper 30's and lower 40's on normal load, 60's if I OCCT or Prime95.
What other clues can I give to help me diagnose it? :horse:
What in the world made you guys use the Marvell controller? As an SSD enthusiast, the best advise I can give, is to disable the marvell controller, and keep it that way.. This board has Intel SATAIII, two ports, and Intel SATAII with 4 ports, never use anything else for internal storage/OS-drives..
Never testet the mv9128 Marvell on this board, but tested the same controller on other boards and allthough no BSOD crept up, it was complete :banana::banana::banana::banana:....
As for changing controller to Intel from Marvell while the OS is installed, navigate to this regkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Msahci and change the "Start" value to "0", then reboot and change to Intel, install Intel drivers when you get back into the OS and remove the Marvell stuff if this is installed....
When it comes to performance, only the 9182 Marvell is decent, all the rest is crap imho, as for stability, I've not experienced any issues, that is with latest Marvell drivers not OS default...
do you guys leave speed step on or off during overclocking?
Here it's off per usual, allthough it probably won't matter one way or another in regards to OC...
thx
New AISuiteII 10140 http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mis...VistasWin7.zip installs fine on my Sabertooth P67, even has TurboV EVO program and others not in the 10113 version )))
Hi,
I guess I'll join the club and say that I love my Sabertooth and I've had it for a while now with zero issues of any kind. Running the 2600K at 4.4 at 1.26V during full load...:)
Joined the Sabertooth club a few days ago. Very happy with this board :)
I've had nothing but problems with the Marvell ports on my last two motherboards. I had better performance with the Sata 2 Intel ports on my P55 than I did with the Sata 3 Marvell ports that also had issues with data corruption. I also had issues with the Marvell ports on my P5Q Deluxe. I've had a better track record with Nvidia chipsets as far as reliability. One of my favorite features about this board was the option to turn off all of the crap that I don't use like the Marvell ports and the USB3 controllerQuote:

I followed OCZs recommended install: update mobo bios (1801), update drive firmware prior to installing windows (2.11), then fresh W7 install. No issues at all.
However, I didn't save my overclock settings prior to bios flash and now I've forgotten some of them so I'm running at stock clocks atm. :(
Speedstep disable works with 1801!
No more idling at 1.6GHz!
I'm actually going to enable it, however, since my idle temps are now around 45-50C :(
Hi Guys,
my friend just bought a new computer with a 2600k and a p67 sabertooth.
we overclocked his processor to 5ghz and 1.45V. But what concern me is that he gets only around 60gigaflop in Linx.... its almost half the speed im getting with mine.
We dont know whats causing this. This is mostly a BIOS Setting but we cant find it.... and you cant seem to disable turbo mode on this motherboard, which is weird.
Can someone with the same motherboard help us??
Thanks.
You need the SB modified LinX, you'll find it in the first post in this thread, and be prepared to start clocking again on your friends board, SB-LinX will upset any clock done on unmodded LinX: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...nX-Stable-ClubQuote:

I just bought a new computer, my specs is in my signature.... I just build it and upgraded the Asus Bios firmware to the 1850 version. Im running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 BIT.
I just installed windows 7 ultimate and upgraded all dr... grafics, all asus drivers etc.... but mye system freezes for like 1-2 seconds now and then :( Both in windows and in games......
I have done the following to try get rid of the problem:
* Placed C3/C6 CPU reports on MB on disabled (as one mentioned on page 1 of this post)
* Upgraded the Intel drivers
* Disabled the overvoltage PLL feature thing (So the computer wakes up from sleep mode)
I read on page 1 of this post that Mem could need a bit more voltage.... Im not very good at overclocking (never done it) so not sure what to set it too... but im ready to give it a try :) Says on Corsair site that the ram runs with 1.5 volt, and I believe it says so in the bios as well....
Eventvwr gives me an event ID 10 error from time to time, may have something to do with the freezes.... atleast what i get a feeling of reading so many asus owners having the same problem... I just cant read about a fix somwehere....
I know my PSU, RAM and grafic card is ok... I ordered two of each of them to switch if there was something wrong with one of them.... memtest 86 gives me no errors....
Other errors I get, is that the pc often turns itself off and on up to three times before moving forward when restarting or starting the pc.... not often but occasionally.
Anyone could give me a hint on how to fix the freezing? I would be forever thankfull! :)
When you look at my build, It would be very nice to get some numbers regarding overclocking, voltage settings etc on my MB.... if you got time... maybe that would fix my problem....
(Remember im a noob, so would be nice of you to tell me all I have to change in the Bios, so I dont forget something :)
THanks tons in advance! Please be so kind to help, paid too much for all this to have it freezing on me :(
to include
It's most likely the the SF-22xx driven HyperX SSD that are at fault here, you need to go thru some major tweaking to remedy the issues of SF SSD's, visit the OCZ forums for the latest news about this problem...
Ok, damn... I bought a corsair sf 3 120GB SSD as well... maybe the same error happens with that one then?
Ocz forum? Its a kingston drive im currently running on my system.... Why check out the ocz forums? Can you give me the link? :)
Major tweaking? Are you sure the SSD is the reason my computer randomly freezes for 1-2 sec?
You can get lucky and not get any trouble, but it's highly unlikely as this problem is with the SF-Controller and it's firmware, and everyone get their FW from SandForce...Quote:

Start reading about this issue, and going thru the tweaks and workarounds via registry/drivers/bioses/FW etc., I call it major tweaking, as after all, SSD's shouldn't need any to work... What you are describing are symptoms of the SF "syndrome", I'm about as sure as one can be about a PC a million miles away...Quote:

It's more the news/tweaks/workarounds info you can get from OCZ forums, Firmware you have to get from Kingston.. Start AS SSD or Anvil storage Utility, there you will see if you are on the latest v3.20 FW, wich is the same as OCZ's 2.11. Kingston is now an official SandForce partner, and they will get a FW update as soon as it's available... The latest FW for OCZ did not fix much, so patience is an absolute needed quality to survive the SF saga...
BTW: Lets not hijack this thread to much, after all this is the SaberTooth thred ;)
Thanks alot :-) Sorry for hijacking the thread, my fault... I have the motherboard in question, and ended up here, seeing many others got the same SSD problem as me.... :)
Just did a clean Win 7 ultimate install, reset the sabertooth motherboard.... and i havent encountered any freezing yet..... Hell, it actually wakes up from safe mode with no problem even with the Internal PLL overvoltage setting on auto! I enabled hotplug earlier aswell, and now when i reset the MB its disabled.... might be what did it for me "shrugs...
For now im superhappy, hope it lasts.... I hate the feeling I get when stuff crashes on me after lots of hours of tweaking... Again thanks for all the help :)
There's a 2.13 firmware update on OCZ now.
Issues resolved since version 2.11:
Fixed a corner-case issue in drive recovery after unsafe power cycles
Further improved bad block managements after repeated unsafe power cycles
Fixed a issue when a secure erase command was accepted even an uncorrected password was entered
Known open issue:
Formatting a RAID1 volume takes longer than expected with PMC-Sierra BR-8 HBA

I am having little bit of problem with this mobo now, doing water and trying to cool sli cards but...somehow with ek blocks and ek bridge, i cant use the bridge? with 2 slot bridge its too short and with 3 slot bridge, holes wont line up with cards as if pci-e slot was in wrong place? Anyone have ideas how to fix this problem as i need to get some neat solution with sli 580gtx DCII cards
Attachment 120534
I also had problems with my Sabertooth and my SSD (Corsair C300). It would freeze up randomly and of course it would NOT resume from sleep.
Try a lot of things but to no avail until I found this forum discusing the freezes using SSD. Its the IntelRapid Storage.. I tried the solution in the tred and only disactivated PORT1 where my SSD is plugged... Voila, no more freezing, better benches and beleive me or not, it finaly wakes up from sleep mode, even days in sleep with no problems.. Give it a try...

Good luck:up:
hello guys !
I'm wonder if someone knows what it's the best bios for this board.
Online, on other board, i read that new bios can improve the oc capability maybe it's same here
any feedback?
1904 is definitely the best for myself, most stable have ever had too, no issues whatsoever, no BSOD's, been awesome, had loads of issues with the others in the past, 2001 is awful for me and it is a bugger to downgrade unless you use the AMIWIN tool, so yeah 1904 ftw ))))

BIOS version 2103 out.
SABERTOOTH-P67 BIOS 2103
"1. Improve memory compatibility
2. Improve system stability"
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Int..._P67/#download
Impressions on 2103?
Sleep bug still exists for me. Granted i just got this mobo and while it shipped with publicly not available 1606 i immediatly flashed it to 2103. It was much later i stumbled upon the sleep bug. Already tried most mentioned workarounds.
Okay fixed these issues by disabling c3 /c6 then shut off PLL overvolatage and disabled the Mar controller. No more boot freezes but voltage droop seems to have increased a bit.

New BIOS 2302 is a dud. Asus still hasn't fixed sleep bug.
Computer still wont wake up from sleep even after disabling pretty much everything in BIOS.
sleep works fine for me on 2103, I have all cstates disabled and eist as well as switching internal pll over voltage to disabled instead of auto.Quote:

To the best of my knowledge the sleep bug issue occurs due to the fact that this mobo is extremely picky when it comes to PSU-s.
Many people on several forums have instantly fixed their sleep issues with this mobo by using another PSU.
This apprears to effect mostly higher end modular PSU-s. Especially from Corsair HX series.
Unfortunately for me i have Corsair HX1000 but my friend has SeaSonic S12II 520W PSU and hes PC has no problems waking from sleep mode.
Also reported problematic are AX-850 and HX850.
I dont have another PSU laying around to test this tho but i've looked into this problem quite thoroughly so im pretty sure this is it.
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1579942 <-- Page 8 or 9 is where the PSU issue is discovered.
this build had a cheapie Antec Earthwatts 650 and no issue whatsoever, and it was clocked to 4.6ghz with pll over voltage set to disabled.Quote:

Done few tests and found out that i need to turn off EIST as well, other wise it wont wake up. But i like when cpu throttles down at idle.
I should have kept the cheap p67 board that i bought for $60. It had zero issue.
Sleep mode works fine here, I haven't had to disable any BIOS features.
My board is dead after flashing 2302. What is normally an easy job resulted in a non-responsive motherboard after reboot right after flashing with EZ flash.
The CPU-Led is on and my grphx card fan is running on full speed. I can get no screen at all, not even the crash bios.
Sh!* board!
No problem here with 2302.
No issues with the 2302, there has to be something else causing this not related to the bios flash. A coinsidental hardware failure of some sort, time to start looking for it, screaming :banana::banana::banana::banana: board will not solve anything, mate :up:Quote:

Issues like ? have had P67 with a 2600K at 4.8 daily, now X79, sabretooth has been very reliable to me...
I love this board. Keeps my 2500k linx AVX stable at 4500 mhz with 1.24v, 1600 mhz idle at 0.9v.
It also does 5000 mhz with 1.4v and pll overvoltage, but haven't tested stability yet...
All this on the latest 2302 bios. Haven't had a single issue so far, bought it last november.

*Duty Control: C.Probe Current (AI Tweaker - Main) renamed to Extreme.
Now the bad side. With the exact same setting i had on my 2500K before i was unable to boot into windows with 3209. I was using Offset voltage - 0.065
Now even when i lowered it to 0.010 (meaning CPU got more voltage and was closer to the Auto setting) i was still unable to get stable (Bcode 124 BSOD within 60 seconds of boot). Bcode 124 usually indicates too low vcore.
yet when i set Manual voltage at 1.35 everything is rock solid as it was before. Previously with Offset voltage CPU IDLE-d at around 0.93v and went up to 1.35 at LOAD. So defenetly seems like Offset voltage is not working properly in this BIOS.
And finally a little bit of good news - Sleep mode is finally working for me :up: . Granted it only works when using Manual voltage and i still cant use keyboard or mouse to wake the PC (i have to use power button), but it's a start. I clearly remember with previous versions when i tested - using Offset or Manual voltage made no difference - sleep mode didnt work. It sorta works now so its a progress. Hopefully with the next version they will patch the offset voltage and get sleep working with it.
EDIT:
Im thinking of going back to 2302 as i cant get the sleep mode to work reliably in 3209 and like i said offset voltage is borked...
On a sidenote. Anyone has the following message in Event Viewer? (if you're using windows):
This happened in 2302 but not in 3209 anymore...Quote:
The embedded controller (EC) returned data when none was requested. The BIOS might be trying to access the EC without synchronizing with the operating system. This data will be ignored. No further action is necessary; however, you should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS
This happens when using apps like AIDA64 during stress/stability testing with ex. LinX.. To many requests with to little resources is my guess, and can be ignored. I have stopped using AIDA during stability testing, and use RealTemp instead, to avoid this annoyance in evenviewer..Quote:

Ok so i went and flashed 3302 on my P67. Impressions are good. Defenetly the best BIOS for me so far :up:
Offset voltage is fixed and everything else seems to be working. I have a feeling 3209 should have been classified as a BETA BIOS, not stable. It had too many problems. Also the boot logo was standard ASUS not the usual TUF series logo like on 3302.
But anyway i was finally able to get sleep working reliably. I took a an hour to debug the settings. First i set all settings to Optimized Defaults. Sleep was working (tested with 20 sleep-resume cycles).
Then i started implementing my own settings to see what breaks the sleep. For some reason i started with disabling unnessesary onboard devices - and itīs a good thing i did. Because what i found suprised me. Namely when i set PCI Express Slot 1x_2 Configuration to X1 mode (my usual default) the PC was able to complete only one sleep-resume cycle (2nd cycle ended with no video when resuming from sleep). So i tried U3 mode - and behold - sleep was working but this was still not enough as it was able to complete only 5 to 8 cycles reliably. So i tried disabling Internal PLL Overvoltage (i've read previously it has helped). This fixed sleep for me completely. No problems running 20+ cycles. I have yet to test longer sleep periods so we'll see how those work out...
So everything is good. I have offset voltage,OC to 4.7Ghz 24/7 stable,sleep is working and so on. Little nitpick is that i cannot wake the PC from sleep with either keyboard or a mouse. This worked on my old PC but not here. I have to press the power button. Pressing it too long however causes shutdown.
Here are my settings (note that RAM settings depend on your RAM - these settings passed 6 hours of MEMTest and LinX for me while offering higher performance and lower latency than the default 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 CR1 settings. Although granted, memory overclocking does not goin you much real world performance on SB). I've also listed other relevant settings like the U3 mode for sleep to work,Wake by PCI-E for avoiding double startup (on most cases) and Option ROM Messages at Keep Current to avoid double post screen from occurring. I also tested if CPU C3 Report and CPU C6 Report had any noticeable affect on SSD performance. Apparently disabling these does not provide any advantages. On the contrary - using the Auto setting instead of Disable my SSD, i was getting better minimum,maximum and average speeds (15MB/s;20MB/s and 5MB/s respectively).
Oddly setting these states to enabled caused BBcode 124 on startup every time. But whatever...

Hello XS!
I recently got my P67 Sabertooth board and replaced my previous cheap ASRock P67 with it. Processor - i5 2500K - stayed the same, just swapped boards.
Now I'm having real pain-in-ass problem:
When I try to OC my 2500K in BIOS, I cannot increase the CPU Ratio. When I try to enter any number higher than 33, it automatically flips back to 33.
I'm using latest BIOS from asus official site - 3302. Wanted to try older BIOS, but cannot: EZ Flasher says "Image outdated".
Then I downloaded AI Suite from ASUS official Sabertooth P67 page to check if I can OC it in Windows. This AI Suite did not have any OC software included :O OK, downloaded AI Suite from Maximus Extreme IV page and this one included lots of more stuff - including TurboV EVO that I needed.
But sadly, this is the picture I get from it:
http://www.upload.ee/image/2774617/turbov.png
- So no overclocking possible in windows either. I have all latest drivers installed.
On previous board this same proccessor was running on 4.6ghz 24/7.
Also, I got some other p67 sabertooth users post pictures of their BIOS settings. What I noticed was, that they had options like "Turbo Ratio" and "By All Cores" with the SAME bios version, I don't have these and have only "Turbo: Enabled/Disabled" instead of those :?!?!?!?
I have tried to re-flash bios with same version, cause I cannot flash any older version. Tried "Load optimized defaults" several times and even used jumper to clear cmos after flashing. I have no clue anymore what to do.
Any ideas? RMA? :(
Edit: Also tried to disconnect all devices - hard drives etc. Just left keyboard and video card connected to motherboard. Did not help. Also tried another RAM, did not help.
My configuration (even tho what should matter is motherboard and cpu only):
Asus P67 Sabertooth
Intel Core i5 2500K (same cpu that OC-d just fine on ASRock P67 Pro3 SE)
2x4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600mHz CL9 (tried single Patriot 1x4GB 1333mhz also)
2GB MSI HD7850 Twin Frozr III
Chieftec 650W APS-650C
SOLVED:
Used FTK 0.8.6 to downgrade bios to 2302 - then Turbo Ratio settings became visible in bios and I was able to change CPU ratio! After that flashed back to 3302 with EZ Flash and all works now!
Thought I'd share some good news to my fellow SaberTooth owners, I have now made a 3602 Bios with TRIM in Raid0, OROM 11.6.0.1702 modded by Fernando, and here it is: http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?ap...tach_id=509437
Here is proof of it working: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost...&postcount=102
Take a look in that thread for further info, and this XS thread: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...84-RST-Drivers
Good sources for info, and what drivers to use..

How do i save BIOS settings to a USB stick or on to an HDD?
I have 3 different saved profiles in BIOS, so i would like to save them on to a USB stick before flashing.
Thanks.
To my experience that won't work, atleast not so far on my end.. All settings need to be done again I think.. You can however save pics of every page in the bios, allthough a bit hard to look at when you are in the bios, Galaxy SII and good memory have saved me a few gray hairs lately:D
Yep unfortunately there is no option to backup settings to a USB drive. I hope this will be added some day. And you dont really need to use a camera or a mobile phone. Just connect USB flash and press F12 at nessesary screen. It saves BMP screenshots to the USB drive. For those who like customization the MyLogo program now allows to change both the big splash screen and the smaller American Megatrends logo. Splash is 1024x768 .jpg and smlogo is 400x100 .bmp
You misunderstood me, I use the Galaxy SII to view the pics taken with the bios/USB F12, as it's more convinient while you are in the bios to set settings after flashing.
I don't know what asus has done with this new bios, but POST time on 3602 is insane.
You'll have to take screenshots and then configure everything again...
I see. Yes that makes sense. Im using my Xperia Mini for that.Quote:

Update;
Flashed it to BIOS 3602.
After loading all my settings, boot times in to windows seem a tad slower. Other then that, i dont see anything different.
Ok so updated to 3602. The first few boots were very slow. Then it went back to normal. Could have been something to do with the USB flash i had connected tho. But other than that i also do not see visually anything different. I guess i'll see how the stability is over the next week. I used to use offset voltage but unfortunately it was very unstable (like almost a BSOD every day) so i moved back to manual/fixed (had 2 BSOD-s a month so far).

is there a workaround for the not waking from an S3 sleep issue?
Read few posts up.Quote:

For about 1.5 years I've been running @ 4.8GHz and 2133Mhz memory (9-10-9-27) with no issues at all. Using 1801 bios.
Now I just upgraded memory and can't get it up to 2400Mhz. Not sure if its the memory or the board.
Thanks
On a 2500k? Doubt it, AFAIK the 2400 mhz multiplier just doesn't work at all on SB CPUs... you should get a 3570k and try, although a z77 board might be necessary for the higher speeds, as well.
Indeed IMC related, so swap CPU for higher RAM speeds...
I guess my question isn't phrased correctly at all.
In Bios 1801, 2133 is the fastest ram option available.
WIth a newer bios, is 2400 available?
Even if it is it ain't gonna work with your current CPU... Might maybe only appear when an Ivy is detected... Raja will now for sure...
BIOS 3602. 2400Mhz is available.Quote:
