Does any one have an issue with DRAM being overvolted even if you set the voltage manually?
If i set it to 1.65v, then it jumps between 1.662 and 1.709v. If you watch the DRAM Voltage in BIOS, it changes every few seconds.

I was telling myself to keep my hands in pocket and don't bother getting a SB. I had to help a friend of mine put one together with everything brand new (which happens to be an Asus P8P67 Pro, 2600K, Thermaltake 750W Modular, EVGA GTX470, G.Skill RipSaw 2x4GB and a CoolerMaster 690 II Advanced). When that was finished they he left my house, I couldn't keep my feet in the house and so off I went to my local MC. Then my hands simply wouldn't stay put in the pocket so they got out and MC just got richer by almost $500 with an Asus P8P67 Pro and a 2600K L040B305. So now that my pocket is empty, I will beat my hands to death for sure. Let's see what mine can OC to. Setting it up right now actually.
Stay with 1053.
This is a variation of what I experienced. My Pro board came with BIOS 0408 and used to report CPU temp at 24C, and AI Suite II agreed. However, Realtemp reported 32C or so on my cores. When i updated to 1003, the BIOS and AI Suite then showed 32-33C. The latest BIOS also shows 32-33 so right now, I'm thinking this one is the right temperature. Odd how yours has your BIOS not agreeing with AI Suite.
Have you tried a CMOS clear? I actually also had an issue where after flashing, my CPU wasnt speedstepping or turboing correctly and it was messing up my voltage, frequency, and temp readings, but a CMOS clear fixed that.
Hey, I can't install Windows, it keeps freezing just before I get to click to make changes or answer the questions. In the BIOS, SATA is set to ACHI, do I need to change it to IDE? Windows 7 installed smoothly on my friend's PC. What now, did I get a bad board? I hope not!
Same. I can get 4.9 GHz (almost) stable and 5.0 GHz screenshot-able. But I'm already pushing 1.42v vcore. (I definitely do NOT have a golden chip)
I don't think I wanna push it higher to get 5.0 GHz benchable.
I'm in Champaign with subzero ambient temps outside. If I open my window and let the air into my case, my temps just absolutely refuse to go up. :rofl: So I'm not temperature limited in anyway. If I really wanted to, I can take the rig outside and let it freeze. (though I'll have to remove all the HDs to since they'll freeze and condensation will kill them.)
Anyone run into a problem where CPU-Z randomly shows running at 68MHz bus speed? CPU-Z shows 3.3GHz (48 x 68.8MHz) but Super Pi and the like run as if it's at 4.8GHz. Just happened and no amount of reinstalling or rebooting will fix it.
Which version are you using? I think the latest is 1.56.3 beta and should read SB speeds accurately.
http://www.downloadbar.com/CPU-Z_download.htm
It handles 4,8Ghz with prime at 1.35v... Trying to get to 5ghz, i've reached 1.50v(crazy voltage), just to see if it booted... It turns on, but doesn't load Windows...
1,35v for 4,8Ghz I shouldn't be needing that much voltage to 5Ghz, I mean, is it normal to give 1.5v to get 5ghz? In my case?
Got the new EFI 1053 i think, it's worse than the older one :/ Now I need 1.355v for 4.8ghz stable :/
how flasher I'm back on p8p67pro you can not flashtool in bios. 1053 bios, my 2600k multiforme 53, but not in bios 1253rd
then call back on 1053, but it says the BIOS is outdatet
a little help will doo
I have not tried a CMOS clear, but if I remember I'll try it tomorrow. It still shows the same difference in BIOS and software today. All I've done in BIOS is turn the memory to XMP, turn off fan speed alarm and the integrated stuff I won't be using.
Today it's been running Prime95 64-bit all day with no issues. Load temps are 59C with the fans on high, 61 medium and 63 low. I think that puts to rest my concern about too much thermal grease. I've always used the stock coolers in the past with the pre-applied thermal materia. I've used thermal grease in the past, but I just planted a 1/8" line maybe 1/2" long along the length of the silicon area that seemed apparent from the underside. I thought it looked like too much but figured I'd just stress test it before taking it apart and re-applying.
I was going to download the new 1253 BIOS but honestly, that download site provided by the Asus experts is pretty seedy with ads and pop-ups and just plain looks malicious. I haven't heard of anyone getting malware, but I'm in no hurry since it seems to be running Windows 7 solid so far. I may wait till it's more thoroughly tested and posted on the Asus site.
I noticed the Asus tech guys also suggested grabbing the "generic" Intel chipset drivers and MEI drivers on the Intel site for the Intel P67 board. I assume that means Asus did no customization when they published them as Asus OEM drivers?
Perhaps I'll upgrade the BIOS, MEI and chipset stuff then do a CMOS reset and start from scratch and pray lol.
If I end up using raid5 for all my important data, and have a separate standalone drive for OS, is there difference between the Pro and Deluxe for Raid?
More importantly, is it ok to use Raid5 on an O/C rig or is it at risk of being corrupted?
Hi guys,
Between P8P67 and P8P67-Pro, which one should I take?
All I want is 4.6GHz+ out of 2500K coupled with a good HSF.
I don't do SLI/CF so those two look almost the same to me.
I wonder if there are differences between those two in terms of OC?
The prices are 176$ for P8P67 and 216$ for P8P67-Pro.
Those prices sound ridiculous here in VN :(
Thanks for any input :D
BTW: Are we able to flash back the BIOS? It's a shame that Asus doesn't support to bring BIOS back to older versions :down:
I had to do it too, that bios is bugged, if I put my OC to 4.8ghz, sometimes in the BIOS, it only shows me 4.2ghz (multi 42x), or it gives me strange clocks like 4276 or something, everytime I have to OC or test new OC's I have to see everything in the BIOS... :/
Both of those boards have 12 phases, the only difference as I can see is that the PRO has 3 pci-express ports, and has the ability to make 8x 8x crossfire. But if u are like me, then just buy the P8P67, my last board cost me 240€ and I didn't use half of it's features, this cost me 150€ and it's all I need :)
No luck. I did a CMOS clear routine and BIOS still showed 48C idle. I did discover that I had accidentally downloaded and flashed 1003, rather than 1053 that I intended to flash. So, I flashed 1053. Did the CMOS clear cycle yet again, booted into Win7 and restarted. Still 48C in BIOS. I checked and the heatsink and fan air feel barely above room temperature, so I am guessing it is a BIOS reporting error.
I went back into Windows and started Prime95 again, this time I am running Core Temp 0.99.8 in addition to Asus Monitor. Right now, Asus reports 58C with fan on medium, Coretemp reports 55, 60, 59 and 57C with 100% load on all cores. The fan air is warm. At idle it reported 32, 32, 31, 30.
Anyway, so far no other issues. Prime95 ran all day yesterday and overnight with no problems. I benchmarked my C300 128GB with AS SSD. Sequential read was 330MB/s, write was 140MB/s. Overall score was 282 read, 171 write, 597 total. Much better than my X25-M G2 on the previous computer that resulted in scores of 178, 69 and 336 overall.
I was able to fix my cold boot issues with the 1253 bios, I'm rock hard stable at 4.6ghz with 1.31 volts, i just think I'm going to leave it at 4.6 it's very fast and doesn't go over 51c even after gaming on h20 :)
Hi,
does anyone know how to revert with ASUS P8P67 DL to the older BIOS ??
EZ flash refuses to do so, is there any AFUDOS eng detition for this MB like there was for the older ASUS MB s ..?
:)
Hi guy
I just finiched my new p8p67 deluxe with 2500k cpu system and the pc wont boot... the cpu led is red. Is it normal? shoudn't be green?
also, I have corsair CM3X2G1600C9DHX memory. I know it isn't in the QVL. Maybe it is the problem...?
Thanks
Hmm...you did plug both the 24 pin and 8 pin power cords into the motherboard correct? Try resetting the CMOS and I think that Mem OK thing on board is supposed to auto configure your ram or something, but I haven't really messed with it much. Also, try one stick of ram opposed to all of them.
I've found a few other reports on forums via Google with the same issue of BIOS reporting a higher temp after flashing from shipping BIOS and also reporting higher than desktop utilities.
One speculation is that the load is higher under BIOS than Windows, but in my case, perhaps just not high enough to tell based on the temp of the heatsink or fan. I do notice that when I ran 1 thread on Prime95, the temp reached the high 40s. Is it possible that in BIOS one core is 100% load and BIOS reports only the temp of that core, whereas desktop utils report individual cores or an average? I have no other explanation.
For what its worth, the Asus monitor motherboard temp seems to match the BIOS motherboard temp.
Almost done with my testing here...
My 24/7 settings will be 4.6ghz 1.35V
Everyting in the bios was left as DEFAULT, AUTO, OR STOCK, except for:
By all Cores
46
CPU Voltage 1.35V
RAM Voltage 1.5V
I was able to test 4.8ghz 1.4V with Prime95 for 1H using the IN PLACE LARGE FFTs test but I'm not confortable with 1.4V. However, I experienced some voltage drops as low as 1.376V
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n23/48ghz3.png
orion23, how'd you go running small FFTs? That's a decent 24/7 clock you're running. Love the massive desktop icons lol.
What difference does Win7 SP1 have on stress testing?
Okay this is DEFINATELY weird. Has anyone had a motherboard warning of -60°C before??? Was just doing some Prime95 testing on my Deluxe board.

That is perfectly normal when you are using a software that doesnt work for half the people.
Anyone get past post and then get to a blinking command prompt before it boots OS and it just sits there and eventually reboots?
Cant seem to pass x52 multi whatever I try lol

If you want to integrate it into your OS disc, use RT Seven Lite.
So, I forgot to remove the Intel Lan "try me" sticker and after installing the mobo, well sticker still remains there (i've pulled on it but can't really take it off)
Lan works with no issue, but it's got me wondering about the bluetooth adapter....is there a cover on it or is it supposed to be ready out of the box (I ask because the range really sucks compared to my old USB bluetooth dongle..)
Thanks!
LOL, I didn't knew that ASUS made a software to help OC... LOL...
Mine is stable at 4.8Ghz 1.35v
With the new ASUS Bios 1253, I made it past the 5Ghz, but it isn't worth the extra voltages...
5ghz@ 1.41v
5.1ghz@ 1.46v
5.2Ghz@ 1.51v
I reached my cpu's ceiling... I only did those voltages as testing purposes, and he was at those voltages very little time... Only booting up to Windows 7, not tested for stability
Over 4.8Ghz it's not worth the trouble, too much volts, and too much temperatures
I'm with bios 1253
And now having the issue allready reported here, I'm stuck at 68blck at windows, any solutions ?
Did everything, and it still shows me 68Mhz. I know I ain't using the 1.56.2 Beta of CPU-z, I've formated the pc and I was lausy enought not to back up it... But nonetheless this version have worked fine for me so far. I also used AIDA for double checking and it gave me the same results...
http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5427/68mhz.jpg
Btw anyone would be kind enought to run a 1M run in my bad speeds to see if they get the same result ? Because I find them a bit faster then it was suposed with this settings... But I dont run 1M in a while so it might just be me getting too outdated :D
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/6448/13515990.jpg
EDIT:
Lol, the board seems to point allways for 3400Mhz, if I set the multi 50x it will give me 68*50=3400, same for multi 37 as shown under... The this is for 37*92.8 I had a huge drop in performance.. WTF is going on...

Hey, is there anyone who can help me detect what this "Unknown Device" is?
I've installed all drivers, win updates etc. although I can't seem to figure it out :/

Had the same type of issue yesterday after I installed new ram. I just set the memory timings and voltage and all of the sudden my BCLK Freq is stuck at 103.3 no matter what I tried it always booted to 103.3?? I loaded "Optimum Defaults" in bios and everything went back to normal.
Can you try running RealTemp when you have this problem?
RealTemp 3.67

Thanks for that second link Stasio
Seems like the new 1253 BIOS is badly rushed and flawed. Stay away if you don't have major issues till everything settles and they finally release a good version.
please give a link to the beta 1253, on page asus latest version is 1053 beta also, the same goes for the support.asus.com, Where You take these beta versions??
Whats the best Bios for the P8P67 Pro?
It's the stupid board... I put my cpu at stock, it reboots 2 times, then when he turns on, he has EIST on (wich i always turn off), and the BCLK goes always to 103.3mhz...
It's the BIOS (or UEFI, as u want to call it)...
Anyway BIOS 1253 is the best I had, I could pass 5ghz with this one, the others just stoped at 4970mhz.
Is it possible that I need more Vcore with 1253 than with 1003?
I would say it's not likely that degradation took place, because last stable settings on 1003 where 48x100, 1.300V, max temperature 78°C. Now I need 1.320V for 4.8GHz.
I didn't touch any advanced settings on either BIOS, just raising Vcore was enough.
I but together my SB system then i updated the bios to 1253 and here my first OC result :)

But When "idle" my processor clocks down to 1.6 ghz,
Is it better to keep this feature or should I disable it ?
For thermal management, Intel Speedstep on the 2nd gen is better left enabled - don't see any reason to have it disabled tbh.
Just curious; you screenys is kinda off, CPUID shows other values than your Realtemp. In addition, are you on wc solution? (I guess your Realtemp frame on the screeny is on a idle status since it's load shows 2,9%)
First attempt on 2600k Batch#L040B165 , on ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, so far so good.

Just a little 10-min prim to get a feel of my new babe. Looks like a promising 24/7 OC, but this is not final yet, so far so good.

Good results here....

I just want my CPU run at OC speed all the time , cuase i only use my system for gaming , i know it will run at OC speed unde load , but i like to keep it alwayse at maximum speed .
Also disabling EIST in bios not solve the problem , maybe i will try disabla all the power saving featues .
Yes the CPU on idle @1.6ghz , i use TRUE with 2 fansQuote:

I'm using AUTO and getting VCCIO=1.05000. I was thinking to increase the VCCSA for 4.8GHz+, but didn't have time to test it yet, what are you guys using for VCCSA?
Stock here for VCCSA and IO... on Pro and DLx
Am i missing something here? when i go to my EFI under Ai tweaker i don't see the Turbo Ratio everybody is talking about..
Yeah, as other has mentioned, that's a Silver Arrow with stock fans push/pull + MX2.
That's a great cooler, and it's running pretty cool for now, but that's a low vCore, so we have to see how far it can keep up.
Thx for the input on VCCSA guys :).
I've been playing with GTX560, fresh OS install, downloads, etc.. all at the same time, and didn't have much time to play with CPU, sometimes too much fun can get in the way, LOL.
In BIOS, set the cpu multiplier to "by each core" instead of "by all cores" (the opposite of what it says you should do). Boot into windows and load AI Suite. The CPU Ratio tab will be there. Click the "go" button to allow AI Suite to enable the ratio setting and reboot. It should work after that.

1 hour down 7 more to call it stable. Was hoping to do 1.35v@4.8ghz but gonna have to be 1.37v. L042B291 is just a average batch.
Hi Guys,
This morning I finally haf the the to build my new P8P67 Pro - 2500K setup. I installed windows and started to OC. i first read some guids as I come from S775. I have a problem though:
I raised the multiplier to 45 to get a 4500Mhz OC. However in windows when stressed (Prime95) the speed only goes up to stock (3.3).
What am I missing here???? :confused:
(I installed the last CPU-Z 1.56.3 which displays 3.3GHz. I also get this value in the Asus Turbo V software)
Nailed down a good low volt 24/7 OC. I may try to push further later tho, but I'm happy already.
2600k @4.5GHz(45x100) 1.27v 1-hour Prime Small FFT :)

well , my best stable OC result
http://www9.0zz0.com/2011/01/28/13/194020463.jpg
I can push the cpu to 5ghz but not worth the extra volt and heat , also i can push the memory to 2133 , but i think 1867 is good enough :)
Which Bios ?
1.38v 8Hrs prime stable. Time to play with my memory timings now.
