I'm running a P6T vanilla, and there is only one silly bios upgrade that I haven't tried yet and won't.

I'm running a P6T vanilla, and there is only one silly bios upgrade that I haven't tried yet and won't.

I've got the P6T non deluxe too and already updated to the latest bios 0202 and everything are fine...

[Khalmyr]

Damn I just found a stability problem here


If I leave *everything* on auto. The system hangs after about 5 minutes...
I never knew that because I overclocked it from day 1.

Anyway it took me a while to find the reason..

When the pc idles, the multi goes up to x22 and the vcore goes down to 1.0v, that is probably too low for my processor, and it hangs the system...
If i set manually in the bios 1.05v, I can idle or prime for hours and nothing will crash..

Lol wtf is wrong with this mobo, throwing my vcore down like that?

when everything is on AUTO everything should work perfectly. f*cking asus.

I have the same sleep issue regardless if it's stock speed or 4.2.

What is going on here.. the Gigabyte EX58 thread is 65 pages long.. I thought the P6T was the most popular X58 board?

[jonneymendoza]

it is. its just that more people are having probs and issues with the EX58 whilst us p6t users are too busy having fun OCing this badboy

[Khalmyr]

Hahaha, well I don't have anything else to complain about

Totally fixed the vcore problem.. it was actually a software running on background that was making my pc crash or freeze.

That's one of the smartest answers I ever heard on XS

Was actually considering trying out this board till I read about the incoming v2 and this S3 issue. Most unusual for an Asus mobo not being able to do S3 properly.

Riiiight... V2 anyone?

[DerekT]

The only issue I have with this board is the S3 sleep mode and I assume that will be dealt with via BIOS update. Great board otherwise, easy overclock and fast as hellfire.

[Khalmyr]

I think that all boards have a problem with the S3 sleep

Question(s):

My board came with BIOS version 1003 installed. I know, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it', but is there a re reason to go to 1102?

I downloaded the 1102 bios and extracted it from the zip file. Does it need to be renamed so that the Easy Flash 2 Utility recognizes it?


Thank you

No, just put it on a flash drive and run EZ Flash 2. Just a quick note, for some reason, I can not get EZF2 to start using the setting inside the bios. I have to hit Alt+F2 (or whatever the combo is) at POST in order to access it.

[golfjam]

Riiiight... V2 anyone?

And V2 fixed???

[lowdog]

V2 fixed nothing, it's just minus the SAS connectors so big deal.


PHUCK me, just installed 920 on P6T-D to day and straight to 3.9Ghz with 1.3vcore and 1.35 QPI 195 x 20 without issues and stable so far.

After 1 month of constant hassles with Gigabyte X58 Extreme, totally unstable and flakey regardless of settings I RMA'ed the pos. Never and I mean never have I had so many problems with a board, even just loading optimised defaults in the bios and hitting F10 would cause the board to fail to reboot.

The P6T-D also requires lowe volts for the same clock as the Giga and the cpu runs cooler as well. I'll retry the Giga when it comes back from RMA but if it exhibits the same problems then it's being sold.

Hello guys i just setup my system that is in my signature with Asus P6T Deluxe and with fresh and clean install of Windows XP Pro SP3. I have installed all the requested drivers in their latest versions and my Windows is full updated.

When i am using my system some times i can see very fast stuttering in mouse cursor movement and some freezing in the applications that are running but it is only for a second or less but it is still very annoying.

Some times when the mouse stuttering happens i have to click more than one time in the application's window to take control like the whole system is friezed.

Does anyone has notice anything similar with his system?

That's always been my experience with Asus.. never had one run right.. but never had a Giga fail me.. I think sometimes you just get unlucky with a brand.. obviously both are great boards if the reviews and those here in the forums that own them are anything to go by

But it's a little early to say the V2 didn't fix anything.. the Newegg feedback for this board had to be shut down it got so bad.. something is up with some of the boards at least

[hornet]

Somebody get the template of the p6t deluxe bios?

[Burner27]

Ok, but should I even bother going to 1102?

[STi489]

Sure..Why not? I always grab the latest BIOS!

[Burner27]

why does the Express Gate show up in explorer as a drive even though, I thought, i disabled it in the Bios?

I have mine disabled and it doesen't show up in explorer.

If you have the palm edition it's the little palm that shows up in explorer as a drive.

For the non palm edition i don't have a clue though what it could be.
