New bios for Asus P6T Deluxe:
P6T-ASUS-DELUXE-1504
New bios for Asus P6T Deluxe V2:
P6T-ASUS-DELUXE-V2-0406

I wonder why not yet on the website yet.
I will wait 1 more day.

[Pisklink]

Yeah, it was. Anyway, I've raised it to 1.96 and it's all good. Quick question. Does this board support RAM above 1600mhz? If I were to OC my RAM to 1700mhz, would it be effective?

I don't know what clock your running because I'm too lazy too look back at the previouw pages. Considering your RAM speed I assume you use around 200 bclk on a 920. Then you shouldn't need that high of an CPU PLL voltage. According to Intel specs the max. voltages are:
- vCore = 1.55v
- vDRAM = 1.65v
- QPI = 1.35v
- CPU PLL = 1.88v

I run a bclk of 215 with CPU PLL at 1.88v and I didn't bother yet to set it any lower which probably is possible. Futhermore, you can see that this board supports RAM clocks above 1600Mhz. It's effective to OC your RAM because it provides you with some more bandwidth. If prefer to have an extra 100Mhz RAM speed rather than an extra 50 - 100Mhz CPU speed when CPU speed is already as high as 4Ghz e.g.

does speedfan work on this motherboard? would be nice to throttle fan's rpm speed if possible...

New bios for Asus P6T Deluxe:
P6T-ASUS-DELUXE-1504
New bios for Asus P6T Deluxe V2:
P6T-ASUS-DELUXE-V2-0406

Is there a changelog for the V2 board and the 0406 bios?

[Robilar]

I just read on another forum that the 0406 unlocks the 21x multi with the i920. I'm going to flash and try it

BTW, the brave souls of you with P6T Deluxe (V1) who have updated their BIOS to version 1403.
I am having a bizarre issue at POST time.
I have DINOVO Edge keyboard (bluetooth) and since BIOS 1403, it won't detect the keyboard during POST
I have gone through all the previous BIOS versions, and I never had it.
It will only be recognized when I boot up to Windows.

I tried a wired logitech USB keyboard and it works just fine

Anyone else experienced this Bug ?

I am contemplating whether to send ASUS support an email describing the problem

It sounds like one of the issues fixed with the latest bios posted on Asus's support forums, not listed in the regular download area yet.

EDIT: After rereading the post maybe its not an issue fixed.

P6T_Deluxe bios 1504

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/mb/LGA1366/P6T_Deluxe/


[ 1504 ]
----------------------
1. Fixed the key may lag in BIOS setup when a Turbo Mode ratio was selected.
2. Supported EIST function when CPU ratio is in manual mode.
3. Adjusted max value of CPU ratio setting according to the number of cores active in BIOS setup.
4. Fixed setup item "CPU Ratio Setting" may disappear if down CPU ratio.
5. Fixed Vista may loading slowly when populated memory size is larger than 3GB and with high-end VGAs.

[The-Fox]

The Bios should be released in May 6 according to their post:

This BIOS will be posted on the Download page on May 6.

I will try it when it is official and see if it works.

Thanks for the info highoctane !

The changelog on V2 0406 BIOS is same with V1 1504 BIOS. So I assume ther are same BIOS.

[Robilar]

where is the 0406 V2 changelog posted?

[cheungtsw]

where is the 0406 V2 changelog posted?

see #637

[Robilar]

Yes that is the changelog for th V1 board update.

The 0406 allows the 21x multi to be used with the i920 and yet its not listed

[ben805]

I flashed my V2 board to 0406 just now, confirmed 21x is unlocked, PLUS you get the option to enable/disable speedstep. Other than that I have not notice anything different than the 302. Loading in LinX still throttle back down to 20.5~20x when the temperature approaching 80'C. Guess i'll crossflash to 1504 and see what's up.

[raptord]

I flashed my v2 (currently with V1 403 bios) with v1 1504 bios. Now the bios and windows 7 64 bit report I only have 2024M RAM, which is not true, I have 3x2024M ram. But cpu-z reports the correct amount, weird.

[ben805]

i'm also on 1504 now with V2 board, this bios appear to be same as the 1403, CPUZ validation still report one of my memory stick in slot 5 as 127MB instead of 2048MB, windows also did not display the full clock speed correctly as if the 21X multiplier is on turbo mode. LinX still throttle from 21x down to 20.5~20x, though it did make navigating through BIOS menu much quicker and smoother than 1403.

[glide 1]

just an fyi - flushed from 1403 to the 1504 on my deluxe V1. It works, no issues so far. do not notice any changes though.

[Amurtigress]

Hi folks,

I just returned to the V2 BIOS on my board, and tested 0406. The new option to use speedstep without having to set the multiplier to AUTO is really neat.

Many of us cannot run 20x200 stable and just don't want to, for example due to excessive extra voltage and heat just to get 4 GHz, with little performance gain.

Now we've got the option to use speedstep and NOT have the multiplier skyrocketing above 19 and thus into unstable clockspeeds.

My multiplier is now usually around 12x200, but would sometimes even go down to 3x or 4x. And it is still limited to rockstable 19x200.

^.^

Frankly, for me there is no point anymore in using a V1 BIOS on my V2

[Clump]

Flashed to 0406 on a V2 board and I've forced it in and out of S3 several times without failure.

Time will tell on this 1. I'll post back if it fails to resume properly.

Seems like a major release. What I want to know, have they fixed the issue of the multiplier dropping from 21x to 20x under heavy load with higher voltage and clock speed?

[kpablo]

0406 working perfect!

Same Oc as when i had V1 BIOs on my V2 Mobo... And have yet to test if S3 work for me XD

But bios came a little late... i already ordered an EVGA X58 Classified yesterday... >.<

How to get rid of the unknown device "on Intel(R) ICH10R LPC Interface Controller - 3A16" ?

I believe I need to install the latest asus acpi driver but I can't find it for the p6t deluxe v2.

My first thought is reinstall the chipset driver, as for acpi it should be the same as the others.

Still dropping

The keyboard problem was not fixed too.

Actually nothing really has been change in this bios release.
Now you can set Multy 21 on Manual and disable EIST, but the system still behaves the same.
