I guess I will have to take my business to evga or gigabyte next time around. I'll post up some screenshots of proof when I get home, but I think this is totally absurd. Honestly, what's the point of buying a 1k chip with an unlocked multiplier if I can't even use it past 26x without some sort of throttling?
Not that board but it sure throttles on the P6T vanilla, almost took it back but made a cruncher out of it instead. :shakes:

Nice vid, saves me the time of posting up some proof. :up:Quote:

I am not buying anymore Asus boards for this reason, had trouble with my first P6T throttling with the i7-920, by time they got a bios that fixed it the thing is damn near obsolete. I thought it might be different with the 980 and just maybe I wouldn't have any problems so I picked up another board while at microcenter. You can believe one thing it wont happen again... :up:

No, it seems to be clock speed. I've noticed it generally happens to me at around 4.4ghz and above. Anything past 25x multiplier and 4.4 and the multiplier will throttle. My temps don't even hit 65C on warm days so it can't be temps...Quote:

so, and i'm taking a huge guess here, maybe the board has its own power limit for cpu power, and the 980x is too power hungry for the P6T series....
remind you: there's no concrete proof of this; this is just me trying a long shot.
really hope im wrong though...
My i7 920 D0 throttles just over 197 bclk. Im runing it on watercooling so the temps are ok like tryed at 200x21 and LinX fails every time but the temps are max 68 (25 ambiant). Crazy MB honest, should have bought something else :(

You can flash to the 0006 bios to fix throttling issues for 920s. It's a modified bios that came out months ago. Unfortunately, it's not compatible with the new i7 980x, which is why we are complaining in this thread :)Quote:

And what cpu would you choose for OC in a P6T Deluxe v2: W3520 or one i7 930?
Thanks.

Any OC improvements?
What's the best P6T Deluxe V2 oficial bios for OC with a i7 930?
:up:
If you don't want to run into throttling issues, go with the 0006 bios. I do have to warn you that it is "unofficial" though...
Those throttling issues only occour with very high bclk right?
My goal is to achieve for a daylly base usage, 4200MHz stable!
At that OC I don't think throttling issues will occour.
I think 4.2 is right around when it starts to occur. It also depends on the voltage needed, and only happens at full load too. I'd give it a shot and see if it occurs. If it doesn't, then you're in luck :)Quote:
