Asus P6T Deluxe Discussion Thread

[martinakerman]

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)

note:CPU wattage calculation from http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine

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.

I have same cpu, mobo and ram than yours. my D0 is at 1.35625v @ 205 x 21 = 4.3Ghz but i have never seen it throttling back.
I tried I7 Turbo program to check the throttling but never any issue.
My cpu is able to reach 80ºC on Air but it doesn´t throttle back, how do you check the throttling..?
