Oh ya sorry its not actual voltages. I dont think there is a sensor for vdimm on these boards.

From 1683Mhz the next step is 2100Mhz.
Since UCLK needs to run at twice the speed of RAM, you need UCLK to run at 4200Mhz. Not all CPUs are able to do this, and certainly not on air.
You are already at 1.37v QPI/DRAM, and since its not recomended to run over 1.35 for 24/7 I wouldnt try to solve the problem by increasing the voltage.
It might also be that your RAM needs additional voltage, but since it wont even boot, my money is on the UCLK/Uncore. (1.65-1.7 is max recomended for 24/7)
Or, maybe the AUTO setting on DRAM Timing fails, and is running to tight. Try running Manual instead of AUTO and make sure the DRAM Timings are 9-9-9-30.
You should try running 21x multi (191x21). This way you can run 1900Mhz on RAM and you´ll only need 3800Mhz UCLK.
If you really want 2000Mhz, you need to increase BCLK to 200 and either run 20x multi or 4200Mhz on CPU (200x21).
Be aware that the 20x (all even multis?) usually requires higher CPU voltage than 19x and 21x (all odd?).
Any place I can go to add a bunch of stuff to OC Palm and make it half as useful?
Also, I hope they come up with a fix soon. Running Quad-SLi, sometimes it can't decide which is the correct video card and makes the bottom one primary, so I have to shut off and turn on like 5 times until it realized that top one is primary.
Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can get the Enzotech MST-73 and the MST-88 for the P6T deluxe?
Anywhere is the UK or anywhere that will ship to UK?
Just ordered a MIPS NB/SB waterblock but don't want to put the mosfets under water.
Anyone got any other solution idea?
Cheers guys
A little question..can i use a X5550 cpu on my Asus P6T Deluxe v2? or it's only working on a dual socket system?
Thanks,
JP.
Okay.
here's my try.
this is the achievement i got and i think it's good so far,, but really i don't know about the heat.
i think 81c max is safe at 100% x8 load!??

I need some help with a friends build I am doing on a V2 board. For some reason I can not get the 2 x DVD-ROM drives to work, or show up under MYCOMPUTER? I am running 2 x 300GB WD VelociRaptor in a raid -0- with 1 x WD 640GB storage drive. All HD shows up fine but for some reason I can not get the DVD-ROM to show up? I am running BIOS 504. I am also running a 920 CO batch as of right now NO OCing just stock settings... If someone has any quick ideas would be great, I need to finish this build and give back to him. I think a SATA PORT may be dead. I ran a seperate line to my DVD-ROM and I smelt a electrical burning smell and shut system down. Has the V2 board ever had problems with the SATA PORTS like this?
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...n/IMG_1643.jpg
Found the problem 1 dead SATA PORT oh well I guess no plug in for the front panel sata on the case.. Just happy I found the problem now I can start the OCing fun...:yepp:
CPU header is fine. But, I think chassis fans 2 & 3 are going. The will not work on boot. Ten, may start for a while and stop again. I keep Q-Fan Disabled. But, I turned them on an off and flashed the bios with no luck.
The PDF said max 84W. I think I using 8.64W. Worked fine for many months.
Think my board is damaged?

Bios is very rich of options.
Extreme because no UD5 when they shop:)
nice, so if I wanted to run only air cooled on this Extreme version is the waterblock going to be a problem or does it come with a separte heatsink to swap out the block? and how hot does your VREG get when you were running LinX? :)
Ben,
I had this Gigabyte Extreme in the past. This board like Asus is very cool, it stay warm @load, no need for air cooling or WC on the NB, maybe only if you go SLI and don't have good airflow in side.
I know you don't like eVGA X58 SLI if there VREG high temps when @load, so you will be very pleased with the Extreme or UD5. From what i remenber the only 'weak point' of Gigabyte X58 boards was the slow boot when you power on the first time.
You don't have to do a single thing right if you change you curent 920 C0 stepping for a D0 one???
i have the ASUS P6T-Dlx and both the eVGA X58 Vanilla and classified.
The eVGA Vanilla fan is not loud. And the board stays a lot cooler then the ASUS P6T because the mosfets arent intigrated into the stock heat sink.
So whoever told you that the eVGA board was hotter then the ASUS didnt know what he was talking about.
Also the ASUS gets hot under load, and high end oc. (once again because of the connecting mosfets).
There both great boards tho, however im kinda tired of the asus.
My favorate right now is my classified.
I had Asus P6T V2 and no problems with high temps anywhere on the board. My eVGA X58 SLI vanilla his a bit hot @load but nothing special, but higher then the P6T V2. I use WC in all my systems.
My last 3 boards in this order: Gigabyte X58 Xtreme, Asus P6T V2 and now eVGA X58 SLI.
My preference goes to eVGA, but Gigabyte Xtreme is a strong and great board.
I'm also tired of Asus and there 'buggy' boards.
Nah trust bro.
The eVGA will run cooler if anything because the mosfets arent connected directly to the nb heat pipe.
The mosfets is what really cooks on the board when your processor is loaded.
My P6T-Dlx

Pifft.. the classified is much smaller then you guys think. When they brought it out, they made it sound like it was a full blown server EATX.
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...i/IMG_1344.jpg
i think that proves i owned the 2 boards being heavy debated on. :rofl:
The fan really isnt that loud. I dont quite get the person who said it was loud when most likely your cpu fan will be louder.
If you have the budget:
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...i/IMG_1381.jpg
^ get that and dont look back.
Otherwise id go for the giggy X58-extreme and then it would be a tossup between the vanilla evga and p6T.
But i heard asus has turbo throttling so you guys better be weary of that.
Thnkz mate ;)
The board is stone cold:up: No problem run only air cooled, I`m cooling xeon with Megahalems. Install for my hybrid silent-pipe 2 and leave waterblock, work cold. Only bad thing in this board is a vdroop, but there pencil mod:

seems P6T Deluxe V1 could run high BCLK's using extreme cooling.... I just realized when i tested with dry ice...
Before that running only with air cooling stuck at BCLK 206 for 3d bench and 217 suicide... hopeless and just wanna sell it..
But when i cooled the cpu ... run spi4m @228bclk's and 226 3D

Because i have, and i can`t do that, even whit QPI at 1.62.
Im gonna kill my self:down:
Can any one give me a litle help, please.
PS-> Sorry my bad English.:up:
HT ON?
you mean Hyper Threading? Isn't that an amazing feature though???
Yep, you're right. It took me a hour one day to figure out what the hell was going on.
Unless you're using one of the very, very few programs that can utilize 8 threads, I don't think it's worth keeping on. I can lower my voltage and to quote Kevin Bacon in Animal House "All is well!".Quote:

Question:
Is it NOT recommended to run 12GB of DDR3-1600 on any X58 mobo due to 'instability' ? Is it better to run either DDR3-1600 at DDR3-1333 settings or is it just better to buy DDR3-1333?
Hi
I have OCZ Blade DDR3 run at 1650MHz cas 7 at 1.68 volt to get it stable!.
and QPI at 1.26Volt, it's on the limit of 0.5 volt
is it bad to set that volt for the ram or the cpu?
I'm running 12GB of OCZ Platinum and it does not affect my OC in any form or way other than the proc is running about ~1C hotter. Having only 6GB did not yield any gain for me, infact...12GB no problem with the following speed and timing so I'd say get the 1600+:
@1600 (200 bclk): 7-7-7-24-1T, 1.65v.
@1680 (210 bclk): 8-8-8-24-1T, 1.65v.
@1720 (215 bclk): 9-9-9-24-1T, 1.65v.

Anyone have this problem on the V2 board. After a incomplete OC attempt it will give me a blank screen, so I have to do a hard reboot then when I try to do another OC attempt it does the same thing. So I put back the OC setting I had stable and no reboot. Is there a secret to a bad OC attempt that I have to go thru without having to clear cmos and redo my raid -0- every time? My V1 board I never had this problem starting to get frustrated with the board. I am running the newest BIOS V2 has out..
Thanks
agree with you. tried even using (4x2gb ram) (5x2gb ram) and (5x2gb and 1gb) and even they are not same spec.
This D0 rock man. even only at this but compare with my old 965ES and 920 C0......

Hey guys what BIOS is better for OCing on a V2 board 0504 or 0406???? If anyone out there can give me a quick reply that would be great I have left many thread questions already no reply's. :(
i'm on the 1605 bios, still experiencing turbo throttle. Look below at cpuz and compare multi to realtemps. I'm not sure which is correct or is this a realtemp issue. Inputs appreciated. Thanks.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...45ghz1384v.jpg
I see there is a 1606 now too. Anyone try this yet?
Neither RealTemp nor CPU-z are correct, although RealTemp is closer. RealTemp displays the multi rounded to the nearest 1/2.
In order to see what the actual multiplier is with no rounding, you need to use i7 Turbo:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=225450
Please test 1606 and report back if it still throttles. I would assume it does, but one can hope.
Shameless copy of my post on the ASUS forum:
I'm still having some issues that i can't figure out myself. Maybe a fresh look on my problem can help me out.
I'm having serveral problems with my P6T Deluxe.
First my G15 USB keyboard is not detected when it is connected to the back (on MB itself). When i connect it to the front of my case (Antec P182) it works fine. Tried all Bios versions. 1505 seemed to work, but then i updated to 1604 and now its gone. Bios setting is set to Hi-speed. Full speed is not an option as i copy a lot to my usb drive and i need the speed.
Second., I wish to use the S3 standby (hibernate) functionality of Vista. I can get this to work fine EXCEPT when i choose "allow this device to wake the computer" on the marvell nic. I want to use this to remotely wake the computer. When i enable the setting "allow.....", and want to resume the computer from its sleep mode by pressing the spacebar on my G15, the keyboard starts flashing and the fans in my case start blowing but nothing happens. I have to remove the powercord from the pc to get my pc startup normally because my G15 is showing nervous things :)
Strange thing is.... I installed Windows 7 RC recently... and guess what. Hibernate and Wol works flawless. The "Allow this device to wake the computer" is enabled by default. I have switched back to vista.

the P6T vanilla/dlx are the only one have this crap. None of the EVGA (I had the EVGA x58 SLi vanilla for few days), Gigabyte, DFI, MSI or Biostar have this nonsense. I'm already on water, underload temperature around 86~88C in LinX 4.51Ghz @1.45v with HT enable with ambient around 26C.
1.45v in the BIOS.
it should have been an option left for the end user to decide whether to leave it on or disable it, this really sucks!
I'm willing to donate $30 to anyone willing(or know how) to hack the POS bios to disable this throttling feature! :D
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/...mpBeta_330.zip
I just finished a RealTemp update. When Turbo throttling starts, the multi will step down in steps of 0.2 which might make it easier to see when this problem first starts. With a 920, if your multi goes from 21.0 to 20.8, 20.6, 20.4 or 20.2 at full load then it is definitely Turbo throttling. Basically I transferred the code and what I learned from i7 Turbo back into RealTemp. I still have a couple of more things to transfer over like Turbo mode disable and the ability to toggle C1E.
When the multi drops below 20, it should go down in steps of 1.0 to a minimum of 12.0.
For the DFI guys with the 12X multi issue in Windows 7, I added an INI option to RealTemp called:
MultiBoost=1
This helps get their multiplier up to its maximum which is a hell of a lot better than it sitting at 12 at full load. It probably won't help the Asus turbo throttling issue but it won't hurt to try this.
I was being warned that the UD5 have some cold boot issue, the S3 doesn't work, and also saw quite a few people turned away from the UD5 for one reason or another so I'll have to hold that thought to do more research about it before I jump the gun. Other than the multiplier throttling issue this P6T Dlx v2 is rock solid so far, which I much prefer over the EVGA x58 sLi I just returned.
Surely someone around can hack the latest bios to circumvent this multi throttle issue.......someone?
Bloody Asus, if this board wasn't so stable I'd get rid of it because of this throttle issue, if this was fixed I wouldn't even look elsewhere.
I have no idea why Asus is pissing so many of its customers off! I think may be they are arrogant because they think that nobody is going to return mobo just because of this issue and they hold a good market share of mobo market.
Ben, does the S3 work on your Asus at higher BCLK (like 200+)? It doesn't for me.
Does anyone have an email that I can write to them about this?
Anyway, I just bought the Asus P6T and am not sure if I can post in this thread about it because it's not one of the Deluxe boards? I wanted to ask if I can use a W3520 on it. I have read I can, but will have certain things locked? Is that correct? Will Asus fully support the CPU in a newer BIOS update?
I've got the board, but just paid for the CPU so I don't have that yet. For the RAM I was just going to get a 6GB kit of 1600Mhz OCZ Platinum CL7s for now and upgrade later if I need to when the prices come down a little.
Will this be OK to get me to 4.2Ghz on the P6T with W3520 on Air Cooling?
That's bullsh*t. When you spend $300 on a motherboard, that should be considered "premium" by any stretch of the imagination. I don't need tri-SLI or any of the other useless bells and whistles that the Rampage boards possess so I grabbed this one.
If they don't change their policy, this will be the first, and last, Asus motherboard that I purchase.

Everyone here with Turbo throttling issues needs to speak up.
No, because I use this rig exclusively for gaming and 200 more Mhz won't make a difference, yet. I have had it stable at 4.2Ghz and used unclewebb's tool to check for thermal throttling. I didn't notice any. My 920 is under good water-cooling and I live in freaking Alaska so I don't have to worry about environmental influences.
My SLI'd GTX 260's aren't being bottlenecked so I figured why bother keep it running past 4.0 at this point in time.? However, I plan on buying two of the next-gen GPU's this fall and want to push my chip even further.
I just find it utterly ridiculous that I can spend $300 on a motherboard and a hugely important feature is being denied me because they want to sell more of their $400 motherboards that very few people ever will buy. Seriously, how many people run tri-SLI? Give me a break.
I'll be leaping through the hoops on a matter of principle. This is ridiculous.Quote:

Hi guys
Well i just buy my new P6T Deluxe V2. And i dont see this Turbo throttling hapeend here like some one says...
I try to stable my memos... but is hard =/
http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8...stcopycopy.jpg
SHAFT Brazil: You're not seeing Turbo throttling because you are able to run 4.2 GHz with only 1.232 volts. The issue happens when the core voltage gets closer to 1.40 volts or the core temperature gets up a little higher. By running LinX instead of Prime95, your CPU might get hot enough at your present settings and will start to show Turbo throttling.
rge did some thorough testing on his board so users can understand what Turbo throttling looks like and how to reliably detect it. Sometimes CPU-Z waits too long before showing this problem.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...5&postcount=78
First, thank you for your answer unclewebb :D
I get some troble to get some stable overclock in here... i can run linX for 30x with 1.216vcore without problens, but when comes to Prime 95, i just get stable! The temperature is fine, i just get confused about the voltages in the P6T Dlx V2 :shakes:
bblock - 200
mult - 21x
CPU Vcore - 1.231 in bios
VTT - 1.80
QPIv - 1.28
DrammVoltage - 1.60
I pass in the LinX test easy with this settings....
My memo is Patriot 1333 Viper series, but i runing at 1200mhz firt to get stable voltages in the CPU.
So my question is, is this voltages are to low for P6T?
Because my D0 its one those god's like for overclocking... and i can get any thread to show settings fron users has overclocked the P6T Dlx V2..
"abraços" :up:
PS. What bios is the Best for OC?
I believe that they rushed all thees i7 boards out because the market was slow. Most of the first bios did not even run 12GB. Now some report 24GB support.
ASUS pulled the support for the I/OxAPCI Interrupt Controller because it has a memory conflict on the x58. Intel notes it needs to be moved/ located on the ICH10R
Well soon the LGA-1156 will be out in many flavors. I am sure some will be fantastic OverClockers and the i7 will step back for the new socket.
I installed 12GB (6x2GB) of DDR3-1600 Corsair and I manually set the DDR3 speed to DDR-1600. CPUID says my memory is running at 9-9-9-24 2T timings @ 1.69v. I know on the packaging it says 1.65v. Am i ok to run it as is or should i lower the voltage? Also, since it is on AUTO in the BIOS, it has it running at the above mentioned timings, should I manually change them to 8-8-8-24 like it has on the packaging?
When using CPUID to measure the voltages, the DRAM voltage stays at 1.69v and VIN3 was at 1.57v.
When I did not use the XMP settings, set the DDR Frequency manually by selecting DDR3-1600, and I chose the Dram Bus voltage to be 1.64, the only thing that changed was the VIN3 in CPUID. DRAM still said 1.69v. It now registers 1.61v. So should I be using the VIN3 to determine what voltage is going to my ram? Is there another program i should use? My Bios doesn't tell me what the current voltage of the ram is.
XMP profile settings set the DRAM Bus Voltage to 1.66v and the QPI/Dram Voltage to 1.35v. I know the Dram Bus voltage is not recommended but what about the QPI voltage setting?
Well my fan headers 2& 3 are malfunctioning. I replaced the fans and they stop after a while (Q-fan disabled). I am going to seek a RMA from ASUS with an advanced replacement. I plan to keep this board for more than a year. I will tell you how they treat me.
FYI - i'm on bios 1606, so far so good.
Throttling still happening at anything above 4.3ghz :shakes:
Yeah, thats is my results with P6T Dlx V2. :cool:

SHAFT Brazil: Did you notice if RealTemp reported your multiplier steady at 21.0 while testing? Your core voltage is nice and low so that isn't likely to cause any Turbo throttling but with a Maximum core temperature of 80C, you are right on the edge of Turbo throttling starting to happen due to heat. With your present settings combined with a higher stress program like LinX, your temps would go up and I'm pretty sure your multi would start to throttle down to 20.0. :(
In normal usage, this will probably never be an issue for you. Nice OC at low volts.
Maybe you guys can help me. I got a P6T vanilla, And a I7 920 D0 that is proven to be stable at 4.0ghz @ 1.20 vcore.
I cant get anywhere stable with 1.20 vcore. The settings I am using to get some what stable is.
20x200 ratio/bclck
1.256 vcore
1.300 QPI/DRAM
1.64 Dram.
and the rest on auto. Can anyone help me get a OC with less volts?
You can try to change the multiplier to 21x and maybe you need to raise QPI/DRAM volts a bit.
does my chip just suck or what?
I tried 3.6GHz 18 * 200 with 1.3v
everything else at stock

I called and I can gt a RMA no problem. The tech told me to do a jumper clear of the bios. I was not that in a rush to do it because of the difficulty reaching the jumper. I did it with no success. But, two days later the fans starting working again.
But, the fans are running at a RPM over spec ????
I purchased new fans for testing
Asus tech (812) 282-2787
Can someone explain QPI voltage and DRAM voltage under these circumstances:
I have 12GB of Corsair DDR3-1600 CAS8. Label says 1.65v

QPI/DRAM Core Volt = 1.20000v
DRAM Bus Voltage = 1.66v
If I manually set the DRAM bus voltage to 1.5v it reports 1.5v
If I want to run the RAM at DDR3-1600, I set the frequency to DDR3-1600 and leave everything else on AUTO, I get the following from TurboV:
QPI/DRAM Core Volt = 1.37500v
DRAM Bus Voltage = 1.66v
I can manually set the DRAM to 1.64v and it will report 1.64v but if I try to lower the QPI/DRAM Core Voltage to 1.2v, it fails to boot.
I am worried that the mobo is over-volting the QPI/DRAM Core Volt setting. What are 'safe' voltages if i want to run it at DDR3-1600? Can anyone recommend safe settings?
Thank you
Been in contact with Asus via email regarding the turbo throttling issue on P6T-D boards. After a few backward and foward correspondence this is what they have finally come up with;
Our BIOS RD will look into this issue.
Will keep you posted.
Now lets see if anything eventuates from this.
Maybe you guys at XS that push your hardware to the limit and a little beyond and new software like i7 Turbo to monitor this issue has lit a fire under their a-s-s. :D
Let's hope. I was expecting to find more motherboards with this issue but so far only the Asus P6T series doesn't give users any control over TDP/TDC based Turbo throttling.
P6T Deluxe V2 Turbo option?
looked everywhere in the bios and cant seem to find the option to turn turbo on/off
where is it exactly
using 0504 bios
thanks
Got rid of this board and got EVGA X58 SLI. I am running 4,4Ghz with HT ON stable and no turbo throttling. Good riddance Asus!
Sem I think in the newer BIOS' the turbo option was removed and you just manually put in a 21x multiplier.
devsk I'm looking to do the same shortly :)
Hi,
I've been following this for a while now and posted earlier about crossflashing this board.
Seriously...STOP complaining about the silly multiplier throttling issue.
Even more nasty is to piss at ASUS for fixing mass storage issues instead. What's more important, your big GHz balls or data safety?! You are trading your data for 100 MHz extra? That's ridiculous, even if YOUR PC isn't affected. Many others might and it's not just about YOUR MHZ.
Overclocks beyond 4 GHz are mostly silly anyway, because 45 nm Intel chips do not scale past 4 GHz anymore. They just suck an enormous extra amount of power for little speed improvement. Just look at the articles on this at Anandtech if you CARE getting informed.
Get REAL people!
<sigh>
PS: If you're getting your will, what's next? You're getting a new board to get even more MHz!
Apparently you have forgotten the name of this website-Xtremesystems. Most people here are total enthusiasts who enjoy extracting every last ounce of speed from their rigs.
If you have nothing constructive to add then please don't post such irrelevant and condescending drivel. Believe me, your diatribe fell on deaf and uncaring ears.
