Asus P6T Deluxe Discussion Thread

[ztop]

there is any beta bios avaible for the asus p6t deluxe v2?
thanks

[freaksavior]

i took my p6t back. It kept locking up in bios and bsod on me.

[drnick]

Well... i was able to get 186x21 HT off, 10 hours of prime, i was gonna let it run another 10 or 12 hours but i though was enough.
Still, im not satisfied, so right now im trying to at least, get 191x21 breaking the 4Ghz wall, still with HT off, vcore 1.4v at bios, 1.376v on CPU-Z.
Ill post later if i get it stable.

EDIT: Nopes, no way to get it stable, even at vcore 1.45 and VTT at 1.4v. So i just got bad luck with a good batch, lol. Still, 3.9Ghz is not bad, at last, its a free 1.3Ghz from stock. :p

Now is time for my RAM. I know its not a good overclocker either, still ill try to get some more of it in the next days.

I feel your pain!

I have a 920 (batch 3837b317) that will not hit 4ghz stable, and I've seemed to have tried everything you have as well (even higher voltages actually). And I just read on the EVGA forum that someone hit 5ish ghz with a 920 from the same batch as mine...doh!

Anyway, I'm using the p6t6 revolution mobo- not exactly the same bios I know, but very similar to the p6t from what I can tell. I also have the x58 evga board. On my asus, any bclock/multi combo that would yield 4ghz will either not post or bluescreen during prime or linx stability testing with a machine check exception error. Now from what I can tell, that is usually a cpu vcore or cpu vtt voltage issue. I've increased vcore to 1.475 and QPI vcore to 1.425, and it is still unstable. Is there a cpu vtt adjustment on the asus p6 series boards? I can't find it on my revolution, and I found it helped me with machine check exception bluescreens on my evga board. EDIT: I guess the QPI/DRAM voltage is the CPU VTT equivalent on ASUS boards.

Thanks for any insight... (I'm priming my asus rig at 3.8 ghz as we speak...not even sure if that is stable yet)

I don't understand why people are having problems with the P6T Deluxe. I have mine running at 3.8 GHz and it's been Rock Stable.This really makes me curious as I've owned MSI,Gigabyte and every other board in the past and ASUS is and has been my board of choice since I started building High End systems for my many customers. There's got to be something being done wrong for results like this. Mind you I did have a lower end board give me a problem back in 2003,,but that was just a bad board.I normally don't say too much,usually look and listen but this is Strange,Very Strange.

Well, I got 3.8 GHz (19*200) prime stable for 12 hrs. It took a vcore of 1.4v and a QPI/DRAM of 1.35.

I noticed on the EVGA and some other boards, the NB (IOH) voltage is often set in the 1.4v area for 4ghz OC's. The ASUS p6 boards' IOH default voltage is about 1.1v if I remember. I tried raising my IOH voltage to about 1.26 with no luck as far as a 4GHZ OC, but I was afraid to push it to 1.4v as I think that was a "red" voltage. I suppose it is comparing apples and oranges, but has anyone tried using IOH voltage values of around 1.4 on asus p6 boards to see if it helps with higher clocks?

I have mine running 4.0 (211 * 19) with HT on at 1.296 in bios and 1.288 - 1.296 in CPU-Z. this is LinX stable at 25 passes.

I also run 4.2 Ghz (200 x 21) with HT off at 1.33 in bios, also Linx Stable at 25 passes.

Last night I tried running 4.3 Ghz (205 x 21) with HT off at 1.36 or 1.37 but it wasn't LinX stable. I did play Wow for about an hour and a half with no crashes though, so maybe it will still work.

I am running a 940 though.

Im not a noob but i hated this board.

the layout was nice, the bios was semi easy to navigate but the bios kept locking up on me even after i updated the bios. it got annoying. it even crashed in express gate once.

I took it back

Don't know I've been running the P6T Deluxe OC Palm edition since before it went retail and it's been rock stable with a ton of hardware I've had in it.

You probably got a funky board cause I've tested 7-8 kits of ram, 9 - 10 top end GPU's, 2 - 3 PSU and everything I've thrown in it has been good to go.

Probably one of the best boards I've had. I've got an MSI Eclipse setting in the box and it was ok but not in the same league as the P6T Deluxe.

[The Watcher]

well this board is not the very best, i know that. but i've changed to other brand (d..) and then bought this P6T DLX AGAIN, sooooo....
Even with 2 difference board same model it still doesn't give me the trouble i like it and the bios feature is nice compare to other i think.
Maybe you have a defected board.

Agreed. The board is rock solid for me as well at 4.1GHz with HT.
It will even run OSX86 leopard!

There's a new bios 1303.

[The Watcher]

I did not find it in the official site; what improves this bios? Can you clock better than before?

still haven't test this -for cpu microcode update, maybe for the new upcoming D0.

[barry1983]

1303 bios is able to use x21 multi

[tomb18]

1303 bios is able to use x21 multi

ANyone with more than one post able to confirm this?

[Astratuner]

so now we get 1 free MP????

[tomb18]

We need screen shot!!!!!

[barry1983]

[okorop]

We need screen shot!!!!!

but try it and you will se that it is working ......cpu ratio auto speed step enable turbo disableand c1e disable
Like this i did'not knew.....nice news !!!!!

[tomb18]

Welcome to XS!!!

[Astratuner]

so now our 920's will have max oc' ability?

[tomb18]

Since I now have a 940, I should also get 23 as the max multiplier. This may let me get 4.1G and 1790 on my RAM.
Will try tonight!

[okorop]

but I told you even now you can use always the multiplayer at 21x !!!!!!

look at my bios version

[003]

Can we get any more confirmations about the 21x multiplier here?? If this is real, I love you Asus!!!

[RenatoM]

yes is true we can use the 21x multiplier

[highoctane]

Well I updated my bios to 1206 hoping to be able to manually select the 21 multiplier but still a no go for me, reverts back to 20 after hitting enter, even tried scrolling the list with +/-.
