Asus P6T Deluxe Discussion Thread

[infected_]

can anybody conifurm this: especially now since there is a fix to the turbo throttling bios "bug"

so is there any fix for 21x multi in idle??

there's an unofficial bios from Asus for P6T Deluxe V1, that doesnt throttle. you can find it in this thread. And it seems other 3 P6T's are also getting an unofficial bios that doesnt throttle. just have to wait, how long i dont know.

[benko]

well if i will buy p6t i will buy p6t deluxe v2...is there a fix for that board?

Asus has not released a bios that disables turbo throttling specifically for the P6T Deluxe v2 but more than one user here has successfully cross flashed the 0007 v1 bios to his v2 board.

Thanks Amurtigress.

benko: so is there any fix for 21x multi in idle??

Can you explain what problem you are having?
If you don't like your multi dropping down at idle then set your Minimum process state to 100%.



If you want your multi to drop below 21X at idle then set this to a low number between 5% and 50%. The minimum multiplier on a Core i7 is 12.0 so it won't hurt to set this to 5%. It can only go so low. If software tells you your multi is at 2X or 4X, don't believe it. Check out i7 Turbo instead.

safe voltages for i7:

from official intel specs

so 1.55v on vcore is not a problem

lol you ppl are crazy... ok, run your i7 with 1.55v... i sure will not.... unless im using WC or live in a country with sub zero temps, right Gre4ka?!

[Gre4ka]

subzero temperatures here in winter. now is summer
used three 920 C0
all want 1.45V for 4GHz w/o HT - air cooled with Thermalright True Black (lapped) + Scythe Ultra Case 2k rpm
temps in linpack (linx) and prime was not more than 75-80C on first hottest core after 3-4 hours testing. Ambient temp (in room) - 23-24C.
in real tasks (gaming etc) temps about 15-20C lower.
temps lower when 100C is ok =) so i don't see any problems.

[jerome2710]

so i don't see any problems.

+1...

Running at stock speeds with Infected's tips at 1,1V. Let's see if I can lower it. It's 5m stable without errors in LinX. In which steps should I up the blck this afternoon?

lol ok..... do as you want... use 1.7v in your i7 im still not passing the limit of the VID that is 1.375v.. at least not on air

5mhz increments... and you should be able to lower the vcore more, i can run 165*21 at 1.1000v, 1.0000v for 140*21.

[jerome2710]

0,95V succesful
0,9V freezes
0,92V BSOD and freezes
0,932V LinX error
trying 0,94 now

EDIT:
0,9375V succesful. Raising the blck with 15.

EDIT2:
Had a BSOD just after editting my post...

[jerome2710]

I've probably got a bad chip.. Ended up with 20x200 on 1,35V, lowering voltage or upping the blck results in a BSOD.

Though I'm still happy that I lost my 1,41! Thanks Infected!

[Burner27]

No i don't have any problems at all with my settings. Personally i am not using XMP profile but i set QPI/DRAM voltage and DRAM voltage manually.

If Asus Probe says 1.375v then maybe you can try and set QPI/DRAM voltage to 1.325v in Bios and see if Asus Probe says 1.35v then.

Can anyone verify a program that will properly read the QPI voltage other than Asus' Turbo V which doesn't.

I set it to 1.3v and TurboV says it is 1.375v. I set it to 1.2v and it will read 1.2v. It's weird. I want to run my memory at 1600MHz but even I manually set the Dram Voltage to 1.64v and the QPI voltage to 1.3v the TurboV program reads 1.375v

Help!!!

try update your bios, if dont have the last one. and also download the latest version of turbov if you dont have it. its worth the try.

[MaleX]

That all depends on Asus. Hopefully some positive feedback on this forum will encourage them to release a few more of these for the rest of the P6T motherboards.

Juan Jose (JJ) is the Asus rep and has just joined XS. If this is an important feature to you then let him know.

Thanks for the info, I just left this guy a msg as well - asking for a fixed bios specific for the P6T Dlx V2. I just don't like the idea to crossflash a V1 bios in my V2 mobo. Hopefully Asus releases a fixed V2 bios one of these days.

[unclewebb]

ben805 and xpatar have had excellent success with cross flashing their v2 with the modded 0007 or 0006 v1 bios.

Asus will probably release a modded bios for the v2 but with results like that, there doesn't seem to be any reason to wait.

Yeah well, it makes me wonder, if I do crossflash the V1 Bios onto my V2 mobo will I:

- lose any functionality or Bios features?
- still be able to flash a new V2 Bios onto the changed mobo? (once Asus releases a good V2 bios)

I am using BIOS 1605 and TurboV v 10046

yes, you would need to "crossflash" it back to V2 bios the same way you did to V1 bios.

the V2 board is identical to the V1 board minus the SAS controller chip.

Thanks for your answers man. If Asus takes too long I'm gonna do it as well.

With latest 0506 P6T Deluxe V2, I am able to enter 21x multiplier and it sticks.

[r1rhyder]

And where did you get bios 0506?

[Burner27]

I am running my DDR3-1600 @ DDR3-1333 settings right now because my QPI settings keep reporting 1.375v when the ram is set to DDR3-1600. I can set it to 1.35v and TurboV reports 1.375v but i can move the slider to 1.35v and it'll be stable. Is there a noticable difference between DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1600 that you can see with the naked eye?

[MaleX]

And where did you get bios 0506?

I'd like to know that as well, it's not on Asus' Taiwanese FTP site (which I regularly check):

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/mb/LG...P6T_Deluxe_V2/

[ben805]

0506 does not has the throttling fix, crank up your overclock to 21x200~205(4.20~4.30Ghz) and set your vcore to 1.35~1.40v and watch it throttle down to 20x in prime95 or LinX, that's a guaranteed.
