Asus P6T Deluxe Discussion Thread

[unclewebb]

I was just contacted by an Asus rep who told me about a bios version that won't be generally released. It has a new feature. The ability to disable Turbo throttling on the Asus P6T Deluxe.
Are there any enthusiasts here that would be interested in getting their hands on something like that?

Here's some of the info I received:

"The attached file is the modified BIOS of P6T Deluxe. It disables the "CPU Turbo Power Limit" when the user manually sets the AI-tuner configuration.
We will not release this BIOS because it may affect the life time of user's motherboard & CPU.
If you still have to provide test BIOS for other models, please let me know."

It looks like Asus does care about their Xtreme customers and all of the complaining has finally paid off. I'll let you guys know when I find out more info. Time to head to EBay first and pick up any P6T Deluxe boards that frustrated Xtreme users are trying to dump.

Update: So far the only new bios available with this feature is for the Asus P6T Deluxe v1. They plan to try and add this feature to a few more of the P6T series.

Turbo throttling is there for a reason, to protect both the CPU and the VRM. For that reason, they don't plan to add this feature to the bios versions in their normal download area. This is going to be more like a modded bios designed specifically for the XS types. Hopefully Juan Jose from Asus can drop by here and post some more info. He finally made it into XS so give him a thumbs up and a big welcome if he drops by for trying to get this issue fixed.
