ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

I fear my board died on me yesterday :(

Was running my 2500K at 4500mhz so vCore not high at all. My RAM was running at 1600mhz - 8-8-8-24 1T on 1,5v. I wanted to test if the mem could run a little higher so I increased clock speeds to 1866mhz in the BIOS and leaving everything else as it was so no voltage increase. Booted up fine and I did a quick memtest which showed no errors after 10% coverage. Started up a game of LOTRO but after a few minutes there it crashed to desktop saying the lotro client stopped working. Never had this before so it had to be the RAM. Rebooted and I increase RAM voltage from 1,5v to 1,55v so still within specs. After I set the voltage to 1,55v I pressed F10 to save and exit and instead of booting up my pc shut down completely. From that moment on I have been trying to boot but no matter what I try I can't POST. When I cut all power for a while and put it back on and then press the on/off button I see a few leds on the board just blink for a fraction of a second and the fans also move just for a milisecond and then it's over. I've tried just about everything I can think of to try and reset the board but it won't bulge. Cleared CMOS with the jumper and even tried the special way described in the manual (remove battery, clear cmos with the jumper and put it all back) but again nothing happens. I have removed all connections (Sata etc.) and removed the GPU and RAM and even took out and put back in the CPU. Still, no POST.

I just have the board for a few weeks so I'm at the point to RMA it unless anyone has a golden tip to try and get it to boot.

Did you try the MemOK button?

J

From what I've read that button is to optimize settings for less compatible RAM and you need to keep it pressed to let the system find optimal settings for that RAM... I wish my board would do so much. I've pressed it a couple of times already but nothing happens.

edit: just tried it again and kept pressing it but the same happens as when trying to start it up... a few leds blink and the fans move for a milisecond and then nothing. :(

Try booting with just 1 stick of ram at a time and try using it in different slots. It's possible you just killed the ram. What ram are you using?

I'm using a (cheap) set of Corsair Vengeance (2x4GB) CL8 kit. Was running fine at 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 1T and wanted to see if it could do 1866mhz with 9-9-9-27 timings 1T. The RAM should be able to take a minor increase to 1,55v shouldn't it?

Still, I doubt it's the memory. I removed both sticks but I ain't even getting beeps. Did try both sticks in different slots as well. There is a small chance that it's my PSU so before I RMA the board I will test the PSU on a spare S939 board just to see if that board moves.

Ive been playing around with the new BIOS 1704

So... did you get higher than with the other bios? or lower voltage?

Having the same problem after i move bclk to 102. Multi at 44, vcc at 1.335. It didnt double boot with 45 x 100 @ same voltage.

Raja@ASUS has stated that running non-100 Bclks will cause double posts.

Just run at 100*45 and enjoy the stability :)

I did but with those voltages had to use higher a bit higher voltages.

Just test 4.7GHZ @ 1.36v, will play more with it :D

Edit, Just had BSOD 0124 while playing Call of Duty.

Question for the experts: I am getting these 2 errors consistently in event viewer:

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0.

The device, \Device\CdRom0, is not ready for access yet.

There are 2 HDs and a Blu-ray player connected to the Sata1 ports. Am I seeing some problems with the controller or the chipset itself?

TIA

both of the my p8p67 & 2500k dead after sudden shut off...when power on, leds on the board just blink for a fraction of a second and the fans also move just for a milisecond and then it's over. need to RMA

I don't think I updated in this thread after I got my new 2600k and my B2 Deluxe back from RMA (to a B3). The board and chip combo kicks ass. :up: Board does over 107 bclk and is solid as a rock. Even took a full weekend of Ln2 bench marking like a champ.

Just got the replacement board in today from RMA. When checking the board it appears to be a 3.1 revision. I really hope it will stay alive much longer!

Maybe I will try the 1850 BIOS straight away.

EDIT:

Oh damnit! Just installed the board and when powering up the pc doesn't POST and the CPU LED is burning. Re-installed the cpu several times but to no avail. Checked all power connectors and cleared CMOS and even removed the battery again. CPU LED just keeps burning. After almost 2 weeks without the board it now seems that when it died it took the CPU with him. Any idea's about the CPU LED or just RMA? :(

try to switch the memory to the blue color slots , its work for me

Would that cause the CPU LED to burn?

Like gsan is posting here his board and cpu both died when this happened and it seems this is exactly what happened to me :(

Are the b3 boards the same as Rev 3 boards?

No, Rev 3 boards have a different USB 3 chip. IIRC all Rev 3 boards are B3, but not all B3 boards are Rev 3.

Mine has the Renesas USB 3 chip. What do the Rev 3 have?

It appears that indeed the board killed the CPU as well when it died, the shop confirmed. Already almost 3 weeks without my PC and the return procedure with intel can also take up to 4 weeks according to the store. I really hope the 3.1 rev board will not do the same and I can't help being a bit disappointed in ASUS.

I'm also waiting 3 weeks for my exchange asus ws revo rev2->rev3 mobo, why don't they seperate there rma's ? I mean mine doesn't have to search for faults, just send a rev 3 mobo. :(

So no one has any thing to add about the new bios?

I updated to it about a week ago and I haven't seen much change. No changes in required voltages for OC, I had no stability problems before that needed fixing. In sum nothing remarkable to report.
