Asus P6T6 WS Revolution

**eva2000** · 11-01-2009, 05:40 AM

No idea for EFI, sorry :o

Trying to figure out max super pi 32M bclk headroom for this i7 920 3845B260 cpu and it looks very nice managing to boot straight from bios into windows at 227bclk bios set (226.8bclk) to run Super Pi 32M and then using Asus TurboV to push bclk to 228bclk (227.7bclk) to run Super Pi 32M. Ended up with screenie @229bclk (228.7bclk)

bios set boot into windows @227bclk

TurboV bumped to 228bclk and 229bclk

IOH voltage? and pci-e frequency?

nice results

**eva2000** · 11-04-2009, 07:49 AM

IOH = 1.22v and PCI-E = 104mhz

started playing with some new memory

Kit 1: module #5 + #6 + #3

Kit #1, likes lower vdimm than Kit #2 and handles 2000Mhz 7-9-7-24 and 8-9-8-24 timings well. This is very first winxp pro sp3 bench run for single Super Pi 32M - easily done at DDR3-2097Mhz 8-9-8-24 2T at 1.64v.

eva2000, thanks for your screens and posts about this mobo. Building a system for a friend and was able to get an i7 920 to 4.0 GHz very easily on this mobo

Just for kicks, I'll try going for a maximum SS if I have time.

**eva2000** · 11-07-2009, 08:05 AM

You're welcome glad my info helps others like yourself

Interesting findings for me especially has I have a problematic module #3 in first kit1 which likes higher QPI/DRAM and VDIMM than module #5 and #6.

DDR3-2137Mhz 8-9-8-24 1T at 1.64v

**eva2000** · 11-08-2009, 03:12 AM

DDR3-1960Mhz 7-8-7-24 1T at 1.62v
(Kit 1: module #5 + #3 + #6)

From testing individual modules #5 and #6 they don't like DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-x at all, while module #3 can handle 7-8-7-x but needs higher QPI/DRAM and vdimm voltage than modules #1, #2 and #4. So decided to see how high Kit 1 with modules #5 + #3 + #6 can go with 7-8-7-24 1T timings. I found the following from using memtest86+ v4.0 and HyperPi 8x32M tests:

With same tFAW = 34, B2B = 4 and DDRAM Data/CTRL VREF A/B/C tweaks as my 8-9-8-24 tests, I managed to get much less errors at DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-24 1T. With tweaks around 50-65 errors, without tweaks = 10000s of errors in memtest86+ v4.0.
But as modules #5 and #6 like lower than 1.64v vdimm memory voltage, couldn't get DDR3-2000Mhz stable.
The highest I could go for memtest86+ v4.0 and HyperPi 8x32M was DDR3-1960Mhz 7-8-7-24 1T at 1.62v.

**stummerwinter** · 11-08-2009, 03:27 AM

Just a question...

Have you ever measured the vDimm on the P6T6 on the dimm-slots? Found some weired things, but need to confirm on P6T7...

Do you have an measure point for vDimm on P6TX?

**eva2000** · 11-08-2009, 03:36 AM

No idea where measure point for DMM on the P6T6 WS Revo heh.. maybe hiwa would know ?

DDR3-1900Mhz 6-8-6-24 1T at 1.62v
(Kit 1: module #5 + #3 + #6)

Testing CAS6 clocks, with 6-7-6-24 1T at 1.62v max memory frequency came to DDR3-1720Mhz (860mhz), but loosen tRCD from 7 to 8 and max memory frequency jumped to DDR3-1900Mhz 6-8-6-24 1T at 1.62v! Using same same tFAW = 34, B2B = 4 and DDRAM Data/CTRL VREF A/B/C tweaks as my 8-9-8-24 tests for HyperPi 8x32M and single Super Pi 32M.

**eva2000** · 11-08-2009, 08:28 AM

12GB - 6x2GB A-Data 2000X
@DDR3-1702Mhz 6-7-6-24 2T at 1.62v
(Kit 1 + 2: module #1 + #5 + #4 + #3 + #2 + #6)

It paid off to individually test all 6x 2GB A-Data 2000X modules and sort out the problematic module #3 as now it's sorted out, clocking 12GB - 6x2GB config is so much easier, straight into 12GB A-Data 2000X @DDR3-1702Mhz 6-7-6-24 at 1.62v. Kept CMD Rate at auto for 2T just for starters.

Stable for Super Pi 32M at least. Need to work on HyperPi 8x32M tommorrow

Best SS: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=816763

Prime stable somewhere around 4.2-4.3, but I won't push it and will just run it at 4.0 around 1.20 volts.

Congrats Ivan

12GB - 6x2GB A-Data 2000X
@DDR3-1909Mhz 7-8-7-25 2T at 1.62v
(Kit 1 + 2: module #1 + #2 + #4 + #3 + #5 + #6)

Now to test higher memory frequency with 7-8-7-25 timings at 1.62v vdimm. 1T results in ~10% more memtest86+ v4.0 reported bandwidth than 2T, but 1T was only stable for Super Pi 1M and failed 32M. 2T was much easier to pass Super Pi 32M @DDR3-1909Mhz 7-8-7-24 2T with tRFC 110, tFAW 37 and B2B 4.

Swapped module #5 and #2 places so the 6x2GB A-Data 2000X config is as follows module

Dimm 1 = module #1
Dimm 2 = module #2
Dimm 3 = module #4
Dimm 4 = module #3
Dimm 5 = module #5
Dimm 6 = module #6

Time to start pushing this i7 920 3845B260 before my Xeon W3570 arrives

First stop Super Pi 32M @4510Mhz at 1.464v and CPUZ max validation @4685Mhz at 1.464v. Will push it more tomorrow as today it's 31-32C room ambients. Load temps for Pi were around 66-73C.

Probably hit a bclk limit and/or cpu cooling limit for water cooling ?

Time to make way for my Xeon W3570 with unlocked cpu multiplier which should arrive tomorrow

Best BIOS for P6T6 WS?
I just got this board and dont know about much.
So 236BCLK is max for this board?

**eva2000** · 11-18-2009, 07:28 AM

sub zero i've seen folks with 256bclk on P6T6 WS Revo but for me on air/water max around 230bclk so far.

best bios 0001 bios linked to in first post of this thread

Thanks!

EDIT:
Awsome board!
Quick testing :

CPU 1.45V
QPI/DRAM 1.45V
NB 1.44V
DRAM 1.9V
PCI-E 111MHz

Better than my classified 759 was.

**BulldogPO** · 11-20-2009, 09:22 AM

Just got Xeon W520 3931A365, hoping it to love low voltages.

interesting.. will be interesting to see comparison results from your experience between both boards

wow 3931A haven't seen such a batch before.. good luck

Been playing with W3570 3847A696 on H20 crazy cpu with HT enabled validation at 4997Mhz at 1.488v and 32M pi stable 4803mhz HT at 1.464v http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=239259 !

**BulldogPO** · 11-21-2009, 09:26 AM

Goes like my old 920
Or I have some settings wrong

and it is causing need for high volts.

1.37V for 21x200 is not good. At lower voltages I´ll get various IRQ BSOD´s and other random errors.

eva: do you happen to have any good 21x200 low Vcore settings?

**Jade** · 12-05-2009, 10:14 AM

Hi,

Just got my p6t6 and W3520, figured I would upgrade it to the 0001 BIOS. eva200, any chance you could upload the BIOS to another site or perhaps email it to me? Rapidshare is not working :\

Thanks

RapidShare has gone to hell in a hand basket lately.

www.sendspace.com should be users first choice.
The above link has the Asus P6T6 0001 bios you're looking for.

eva: do you happen to have any good 21x200 low Vcore settings?

depends on cpu to be honest i have 4x i7 920 need 4.2ghz 1.45+ vcore then i have one i7 920 need 4.2ghz at 1.25v

rapidshare link works for me still, what isn't working ?

Starting to play with my new toys on P6T6 WS Revo http://i4memory.com/f18/hd5850-hd587...rs-club-21041/

**unclewebb** · 12-05-2009, 11:00 AM

This is the frustrating crap you get at RapidShare on weekends when they are busy.

Give sendspace a try and you'll never go back. Way faster free downloads and no irritating waiting for users.

**eva2000** · 12-05-2009, 11:11 AM

Ah i see.. here's sendspace link too , updated first post http://www.sendspace.com/file/toyan8
