It sounds like the B3 board solves a host of ills. Is that the case? I always thought there was more than SATA II issues on the recall.
P.S.
Can everyone post their CPU cooler when posting OC results. There is a big difference between the different water and air configurations; what works on one may be way out of reach on another.

i changed my ud4 with deluxe but now i have a problem. SLI not work?
edit: clean install fixed so windows sucks :P
Bios 1502 has hindered my high overclock and stabilty :( , i used to run on my Asus P8P67-Deluxe at 5600Mhz for benching and it was stable with Bios 1305 but since i upgraded Bios yesterday i have lost the ability to bench at 5600Mhz SB , now i have lost 100Mhz overnight as i can only bench stable at 5500Mhz now :(. Asus get your Sh** together and bring me working Bios and support for my Elpida Hypers asap please...
Bios 1305 :

I upgraded to 1502 from 1305 on my P8P67 Pro and from what i have seen its more stable. Cant get 55x as before but 54x is rock solid through everything I have pcmark05 left to do but wprime 1024m ran. I need to spend more time with this setup really.Quote:

But i am curious about a rumor that the P8P67 or maybe P67 in general are still suffering from the "Cold Boot Bug" which was very common among several (P35/P45) Boards in the past.
Can someone confirm if this still occurs with the P67 or maybe its just Asus related. If it is is there a workaround to get rid of it?
@chipsy. No issues here with the bios 1502, at least with running benches. The AIDA and CPU Z mainboard were an after thought.
KingZer0. I have not had any cold boot issues with mine since the first couple of bios revisions. My new B3 board has no boot issues so far.
Ok thank you for the feedback guys , (Maybe a Bad Mount on my Cascade) i will remount the Cascade tonite and bench again to see where i end up with. I will report back later.
@CrossG:
Nice work with the ripjaws ddr3 1600 overclock!
2500k 4.7GHz @ 1.35 on AIR

how are you guys keeping your OC speed in an idle state???? This is driving me crazy! I want my 4.8GHz all the time, not 1600 @ idle.. Please tell me the secret
deactivate c1e, speedstep, c3, c6 and so on... ;)Quote:

I also did leave the psu unpowered for a few minutes after clearing the cmos
that mean you will pay more for electricity :rofl: not realy need disable em :up:Quote:

on win7 64 sp1
so far tried the following applying the patch and rebooting in admin mode each time:
install off disk - instant crash
install the 'installall' off the disk - crashes but reboots the system anyway
install off the downloaded version - crashes instantly.
would really like to get a few of the utilities working. will email asus from work tomorrow, just wondered if anyone has had any luck?
I installed off the disc with Win 7 64 bit. No problems with it at all. How are you guys getting those high Gflpos in LinX? I am testing a 4.5 and only see about 51.
You can force the CPU to work at maximum clocks all the time by changing the non-Turbo multiplier, and still keep C1E/C3/C6 for some of the power savings.Quote:

new bios on this morning, tried to get 5ghz which is now out of the question at my current settings.
using offset voltages so that my vcore drops down in parallel with speedstep.
my prime stable 5ghz has disappeared into the ether :(
seems that my 8 hour prime run at 4.9 was stable...
[grabbed this screenshot before i went out today]

so i restart the computer to save the settings to a profile.
get into windows and it bsods straight away.
anyone else getting random stuff like this?
heres my bios settings for reference.

does the new BIOS fix the offset voltage issues? for example, "auto" offset @ 45x multi = 1.436v, but with only +0.005v offset it goes to 1.368v. and minus offset is all kinds of screwed up too, there's no happy medium between minus and plus offsets.
anyways, I've managed to find a good 24/7 conservatively safe OC for summer temps and 24/7 folding.
4.5GHz 1.312v load (High LLC), all power management enabled. even the EPU, Optimized phases and T. Probe with VRM Spread Spectrum. super stable, but unfortunately 1.3v and lower aren't :/ I'm gonna see how much 4.6GHz requires to see if it's worth the bump, I'm thinking 1.35v since 4.7GHz needs 1.376v.
oh, and I still can't get my highest OC (4.8GHz) to work properly with offset voltage.
on bios 1502 myself with the deluxe B2 board.. not got my B3 yet.
im 3D stable ( vantage , 06 , 03 , 05 ) at 5300mhz with 1.55vcore but i cant even run super pi 1m , i reboot instantly.. !!
no clue whats going on :(
thats pretty much my summary thereQuote:

either way im back on manual vcore settings which is a crying shame as i wanted it settling at 1v at idle.
im not having much luck with this board so far. :(
Try setting Phase control to manual and set for ultra fast. Splave mentioned that a while back and seems to work for SPi runs.Quote:
