**ZoLKoRn** · 03-11-2009, 10:45 PM

Hello all

after i received new Asus Rampage II GENE and tried to play on it about one day and today i checking on asus webpage for new bios so it have new version on 0404 then after i flashed new bios i met something amazing with cpu multiplier showed in bios because it show max value at 21x for mine i7 920, well i tried to setting at x21 and disable Turbo-mode so what happen with it let to see what magic from RE II GENE

so it forces turbo mode multis to be available, or it goes higher with turbo mode

It would seem to just force them to be available. I would be amazed if it went to 22x with turbo on.

Does it perform like its running at the higher multi/ higher MHz?

Turbo is "disabled". Its basicly tricking the CPU to always run turbo mode on all cores.

It was just a matter of time I guess. Since they had higher multiplier due to turbomode.

22 is normal multi with retail i920 and Turbo mode activated! If temps of CPU are low, multi 22 is usable ...

Its waht gb mobos have since release, if you enable turbo (disabled C1/EIST) you have perma 21x multi.

Not on all cores at the same time.

I dont think you need to disable C1/EIST....

This doesn't really change anything, in the end you still get the same 21x multi.

**[XC] gomeler** · 03-12-2009, 08:26 AM

So... does this result in 21x multiplier for all cores/threads or just Core 0? Need more data than 4 CPU-Z windows all showing Core 0.

**JoeBar** · 03-12-2009, 01:05 PM

Indeed. I too see only one core...

It runs at 21 on all cores. Turbo on one core or 2 cores would be 22x.

Blood rage also has a force turbo option.

Nicely done

Welcome to last year. It doesn't matter if it's through Turbo mode or not, the 21x multi has been available in almost all motherboards since the very beginning.

**ChinStrap** · 03-12-2009, 04:43 PM

give us a release date!!!

PLEASE!!!

**003** · 03-12-2009, 05:23 PM

Guys, this 21x multi is possible on the P6T Deluxe without turbo as well, using the 1303 BIOS. I can personally confirm this. Just look at the P6T Deluxe discussion thread for more info.

It does have a bug that I hope is resolved though, and I would reckon it is on the R2EG as well. Under extremely heavy load, such as Linpack using LinX, the multi will drop back to 20x. Since the 20x is way more unstable than 21, a perfectly stable OC now becomes unstable due to the 20x multi under heavy load.

I believe this is a bug with the TDP limitation, I really hope Asus can correct it. Prime95 was not enough to make it go to 20x for me.

Its been fixed on the r2e, don't know about p6t. with bios 1104 i can run linx and multi stays stable at 21x when i check it with intel turbo tool (cpu-z lies when the multi is unstable but doesn't quite drop down to 20x).

I really hope they fix it on the P6T Deluxe... it is SO annoying

Also available on the P6T Deluxe (I have 2 running 100% 24/7 at 21X multi, no issues to report). CPU temps never cross 75C for me, so that might be your issue.

**okorop** · 03-13-2009, 04:42 AM

so it is like asus p6t deluxe

great

No, I have CPU TM Function disabled. And the multi drops with LinX almost immediately after it puts on 100% load, before the CPU has a chance to fully heat up.

**OverDozeD** · 03-13-2009, 05:37 AM

It's only BIOS bug
Shows that turbo is off when it's enabled IMHO

**ewitte** · 03-13-2009, 08:44 AM

x20 is rock solid on my p6t deluxe but it needs way more volts to run the same speeds at x21.

**Rammsteiner** · 03-13-2009, 09:16 AM

*yawn*

Wake me when a 22x for all cores option is available trough BIOS, no matter how you can set it, 21x is nothing special unless you could fool your CPU another way by enabling Turbo after that it runs 22x

As Im deadly limited by Blck, a full 22x option is very welcome
