Asus P6T Deluxe Discussion Thread

[ben805]

Ya, the Asus Rampage boards (more expensive), and all the other boards from DFI, Gigabyte, evga (I think) etc.. not sure on MSI.

I'll most likely get the EVGA as replacement, not sure if I should get the A1 with 2yr warranty or spend more to get the classfied yet....is Asus going to fix the thermal throttling ever? before I get a replacement board I did a little comparison of my D0 in power consumption and here's what I found:

2.66Ghz @1.15v: 130w
4.00Ghz @1.22v: 219w
4.20Ghz @1.30v: 262w (underload throttling back to around 20.75x 200; 4.15Ghz)
4.30Ghz @1.35v: 289w (underload throttling back to around 20.5x 205; 4.2Ghz)
4.40Ghz @1.40v: 318w (underload throttling back to 20x 210; 4.2Ghz)
4.51Ghz @1.45v: 349w (underload throttling back to 20x 215; 4.3Ghz)

For 24/7 I guess the sweet spot of my D0 is somewhere around 4.2~4.3Ghz with the least amount of heat load.
