Asus P6T Deluxe Discussion Thread

[Nocturno]

At least someone liked it!

You've had almost a week to get back with your result of using 6 x 1GB Corsair DDR3-1866 sticks. How about a status report.

They work with no problems at stock so far. I am not happy with my VelociRaptor Matrix raid -0- So I am thinking I may want to buy 2 SSD drives and throw them into the Marvell 88SE6320 2 x SAS for a raid -0-. Has anyone on this thread done this? I am wondering if I should start over and just make one huge raid.

Improve Memory compatibility

Anyone tried it yet ?

What does 'improved memory compatability' mean anyway ??

Suppose it mainly means it supports more memory brands, settings, speeds and maybe higher overclock (stable).

Don't think it will improve Bclk or anything like that.

[mikeyakame]

Probably means they edited the array that holds the QVL data for when DRAM timings are on Auto and nothing much else. All this means is that certain sets of memory with IC's that don't like their usual auto values for drive, skew, hold & setup , etc bios will use a compatible preset for the memory stick model id developed around those ICs or sticks.

Knowing Asus engineers though i have a hunch it means they fixed up compatibility that changes to previous code broke

Guys, in the original post of this thread, there is an FTP link to the P6T Deluxe BIOS location. However I don't think it has the latest BIOS releases, because it only has up to 1003, but on the Asus website, there is already 1102 released. Does anybody know the location where the most up to date releases are actually stored?

My result with 1003 bios

[Sav]

220 bclk is very nice

What's your bios setting?

[speckled10]

My result with 1003 bios

Nice work !!!

Ditto what sav said can you post your full BIOS settings for this ?

[duldog]

My result with 1003 bios

can't even scracthed 206blk. can you post bios settings please


thanks!!!

[Venom-Crusher]

OK, Thanks for interesting my setting.

[speckled10]

OK, Thanks for interesting my setting.

Thanks !

You are the first I've seen use CPU/IOH Clock Skew settings = 100ps ..

Does this have a big effect on your stability ?

[Venom-Crusher]

Yes, delay 100ps it used for lower vcore with stability.

How come your temps are so utterly low ?
Is that with just Watercooling ? I see EK Supreme there, but there is no chance in the world to get below 50c with just that.
Are you using a chiller or your ambient temps are just below 0 ?

Aside from that nice clocks, I might as well try that settings to see if it helps to make my CPU stable at anything above bclk=210 Mhz.
I managed to go up to 220 Bclk with lower Multi, like 17x but with 21 I maxed out at about 215 with a few lucky runs on 217.

ambients 23-24C+Plain water+EK Supreme+MCP655+Swiftech 120mm*3 Radiator,

& Cool laboratory Liquid Pro Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material,

It very nice temp for Core i7

Ok, just saw it was idle temps, which are nice, nothing fancy.
What are your load temps if you don't mind posting ?

[beerking]

Cool

Don't tell me they actually supply that stuff in a 1CC disposable syringe?

OK.

I not sure, but it can absorb turn to syringe. It very economize.

[duldog]

thanks for the bios settings. I've tried. can push my 207 blck at boot but lockup with windows boot up.
stuck at 205 =o(

[The-Fox]

Nice temps Venom, they are about as mine at those settings.

I tried that settings and they work pretty well I might say.
my only issue now is running uncore at anything higher than 4Ghz, because I don't even get post.
Running bclk 190, mem at 1904 Mhz, Uncore at 3808Mhz and I fail to load windows (Random BSODS), Using high DRAM voltages as high as 2.0v doesn't help.
Running bclk 200, mem at 2004 Mhz, Uncore at 4008Mhz and I fail to get post, again, using higher DRAM voltages up to 2.0v doesn't help at all.

Venom-Crusher, can you try as well ?

BTW, those OCZ Platinum are amazing, I am running them now @ DDR 1850 8-8-8-18 1T with just 1.64v !
Venom-Crusher, are your OCZ sticks Gold or platinum ?

I have a 0.3ml syringe supplied by Innovatek. Good for 2 applications only. It works great with i7 since IHS needs lapping. But the problem is that you cant clean it perfectly off, it remains on your IHS and heatsink base

Because of bad IHS my temps are pretty high @ 4ghz with ultra 120 extreme. 70-80C Intelburntest with only 1.275V. And difference between cores is almost 10C
