ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

[Leeghoofd]

hows your board doing now Angelo ? I still have the same 5600 OC with the 1502 bios...was it an inferior mount ?

[coolhandluke41]

It's rather that I'd like to remain at full speed, I don't care a lot if C-states are on or off in fact.

Anyway, after having crashed at 4.7G (LynX stable and browsing crash) with previous settings, I'm back to
LLC auto
VRM auto
PLL overvoltage auto
phase control standard
duty cycle on t.probe
vcore at 1.35V

Let's see if it doesn't crash.
I don't understand why turbo and EIST are needed? I don't catch why the chip is stable in stability test and crashes when cruising in idle?

you crashing under light load because your V dips to low (you have to be above 1.016~ 1.024V min. on offset mode) LLC have a lot to do with it ,for 4.7 you may have to increase V

[Sauron_Vie]

@pacha: maybe u pump too much V into for "only" 4,6ghz. At SB less is more

[Pacha]

I had BSOD just after boot at 4.6 1.3V so I crancked up the vcore directly to 1.35V, maybe 1.325 would have been enough, I'm too much used to crank the vcore or vgpu +0.3V from stock as a limit lol, that's not really needed here.
Anyway, I'm at 4.6G 1.35V right now with the changes I made, and no BSOD so far, I'll see within 24h if it crashes or not, otherwise I'll try with 1.325V or something.

Apparently, it doesn't get low like that as I don't use turbo nor EIST, CPU-Z shows 1.35V ±0.02V through time, be it 0% or 100% load on the cpu. It's note like I was idling at 1.6G and there was too much vdroop.

[Sauron_Vie]

if u have another crash pls post the BSOD Code

[Pacha]

I will. Thanks.

For what it is worth, my board shuts down instantly 2 or 3 times while browsing the internet when I get home from work. After a couple complete shut downs it starts up and runs 100% no matter what I do, game, bench or stability test.

I thought it was a fluke or power issue at the wall but it does it EVERY day for the last month or so. Same exact thing every day, very odd.

Maybe due to overheat? Check the temp monitoring in bios some points are set to 90c at default. I set them higher like 100c or turned off.

no..this was for reference in case you want to go offset mode
BTW..try to clear cmos,disable spread spectrum,run your RAM @ stock

[Pacha]

RAM is already at stock settings. No BSOD so far, so I guess the BIOS parameters made it. I'll focus on oc the RAM if it remains stable one or two days more.

No temp related stuff on in the BIOS. It crashes a couple times right away in the day no matter what. Once it boots up the 3rd time or so, can LinX/Furmark all night long no problems.

Hi, i just bought ASUS P8P67 pro bios 1204 and trying to pas @i5 2500K > 5.4GHz Vcore 1.54v
i ve a problem after boot up message like this :

CPU over voltage error!
press F1 to continue.

if press F1 go to bios, i checked Vcore can't more than 1.53v
any idea's dude?thx alot for helping me, i appreciate that

go into the bios>advanced mode>fans and voltages>click cpu voltage>choose ignore and you will be good to go.

[Sauron_Vie]

got somebody impressions with the 1502 bios against the 1204 ?

thx mate, problem solved

good question, I'm curious too.


How does 1502 compare to 1204? I'm thinking of trying it.

[Pacha]

hah BSOD again... took a while before happening this time but it happened.

I'm back to 2T on the RAM to see how it goes, and lowered vcore to 1.34 instead of 1.35V. I'm still LinX stable, I guess it should even do it with less V. I'll see if it s again, otherwise I'll put LLC on High or Ultra High et see.

[Sauron_Vie]

BSOD Code as mentioned ?

i get linX stable from dropping 1.35 to 1.34

but when you do a prime95 blend, it fails within 2hrs

[Pacha]

I totally forgot that one. I have no log in bluescreenview, though the BSOD is dumping memory to disk each time.

Nevermind, I installed WinDbg as I did on XP before. Here's what the dump says :

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.

Arg1: 0000000000002088, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000000, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)

That may sound idiot, but with all my previous rigs I always had enough stability with 30mins prime for any office and gaming use (though it's been a few years I've not played a game), hence I don't get why LinX stable would mean idle or very light load applications to lead to BSOD.
I'm not folding nor using any app of the sort loading the 4 cores all the way for many hours, so I don't see any reason to have 8 hours prime stability like some do here.

[Sauron_Vie]

@pacha: how many v do u use @Vccio ?

[Pacha]

Auto for VCCIO and all other voltages except vcore and vdimm

I'm back with another BSOD so 1.34V doesn't seem to do just fine, and problem doesn't come from 1T/2T on the RAM.

I've just set LLC on ultra high. I'll see, but knowing that with Extreme LLC it crashed also...
I don't get it. Or there's not enough vcore and as it's unstable sometimes it dips too low even in idle when I'm at 4.6G all the time. I don't know.
Or this has to do with VCCIO not high enough or something maybe, but it's just very logical seeing the asus guide and guys values round here.

[Alex-Ro]

Bump VCCIO to 1.1 and try SA also
