All I can see is 2 additional copper plates on the back of the board.

P6TD Deluxe is 16+3 phase design while P6T Deluxe V2 is 16+2 I believe.
Also ASUS Fanless Design: Stack Cool 3+ (more copper) afaik.

Nope it has 16+2 Phase Power Design
Stack Cool 3+, Two copper plates (like I said)

I don't understand why they bother with such minor a difference unless this is intended to supersede the P6T Deluxe V2.

What they should have done is add another RAID controller where the SAS was and include some eSATA adapters. And change 1394a ports to 1394b

2 copper plates

I bet it will supersede the P6T Deluxe V2.

The V2 is for Version 2 less SATA ports.

no newer p6t deluxe v2 bios as 0504
if you have some newer bios pn me

thx

Only the 0007 and the 0006. illuminatiASUS said new bios' are in the works for the P6T series, but did not give a time frame. I myself do not expect any. I am moving on to other brands of motherboards.

I plan to keep this board for a good while. But, this will probably be my last ASUS for my #1 system. The chassis fan headers stopped powering. They sent me an advanced replacement that would not boot to 12GBs. I sent it back and purchased 4-pin connectors and some controllers. I hope nothing else goes. The CPU and Power Fan headers work fine.

I used to only buy GIGABYTE. look at this baby! But, I think it only has 2oz of copper

Does anyone know if the P6TD Deluxe has the new b3 x58 chip?

What's the difference about this B3 rev?

Have someone notice when you plug a more power video card, the overclock become more hard to get estable overclock at the same settings when using a basic video card?

Here i can get nice and stable 4200@1.224 with 8400GS, but when i put my GX2 for example, for the same clock speed i have to push a litte more voltages on de cpu (1.248) and the board... is that normal?

how did he get that all those voltages monitoring?

your point is the P6TD bios'es is no longer have "multiplier throttling bug" ? am i correct?

but, i have interesting question thoug. Are you using P6TD or you just "crossflashing" P6T v2 with P6TD bios??

**unclewebb** · 08-20-2009, 09:54 AM

angelreaper is only at 3150 MHz so far. He's just getting warmed up.
Welcome to Asus angelreaper.

He won't be able to tell if there are any turbo throttling issues until he gets up to 4000 MHz and beyond.

**astrodanco** · 08-20-2009, 09:55 AM

Those core temperatures are pretty bad. I'd recommend water cooling...

oh..i see..

it appear i have been mistaken by thinking that this particular throttling problem is triggered by high cpu temp.

i also been thinking (w/ extreme prejudice

) :
If (later) P6TD bios is proven to have "turbo trhottling" bug fixed, meanwhile the "old" P6T DLX/V2 will never get this "bug" fixed (the 0006/0007 is forbidden right?). I think asus is trying to setup a massive "exodus" from P6T DLX/v2 to P6TD DLX...bad,bad asus

. i just hope my "prejudice" will only be "prejudice" not the "reality"

**unclewebb** · 08-20-2009, 08:02 PM

Lots of users have successfully cross flashed their P6T Deluxe v2 board with the special v1 0006 bios without any problems.

Asus just released another special bios yesterday for the P6T6 WS (0001) and JJ asked me what board should be next. I told him to flip a coin.

Lots of v2 owners but the serious users are already using 0006 so I thought a special bios for P6T7 WS might be more important. Go back a page or two in this thread and find JJ and tell him what you think. Place your vote for a special v2 bios if you think that's important.

Turbo throttling is caused by all 3; high core temperatures, high current and high power consumption. Minimize all 3 of those and the higher you will be able to overclock without hitting the throttling wall.

Much easier to just cross flash to bios 0006 and solve all your problems with one quick fix.

I cross-flash my P6T Deluxe V2 to P6TD Deluxe

This is my work machine with box cooler. But soon I test with good processor and cooler

For now not multiplier throttling.

may i ask you, i have 1 (noobies) question

:
what is the difference between 0007 and 0006 bios if i using P6T DLX OC PALM w/ i7 920 D0?
all i know is the 0006 bios fixed some issues w/ c0/c1 steeping. Is there any detail i might have overlooked?

...............

so it's possible!!!

that make me to draw a conclusion that P6TD just P6T DLX V2 with more ounce of cooper and new chipset (SLGMX / X58 B3) (CMIIW).
and...that gave me more than enough reason to cancel

my "exodus" plan

from P6T DLX V1 (oc palm) to P6TD.
( admittedly some of asus marketing mumbo-jumbo has nail me

)

**SHAFT Brazil** · 08-22-2009, 06:48 AM

My results with the Ci7 920 @ 4200mhz are now stable at 1.208v

I will try to get more oc from the processor now

**angelreaper** · 08-22-2009, 10:48 PM

Bios for P6TD Deluxe - 0106 no turbo throttling but no full support for Xeon

But bios 0006 is great:

**ben805** · 08-23-2009, 08:42 AM

To date, my system has been ROCK SOLID at 4.40Ghz 24/7 ever since I crossflashed to the 0006 BIOS on my V2 board when that BIOS was made available. I have not run into any issue whatsoever......there isn't anything new to report that's why I haven't post much lately. LOL

I assume that is your daily setting...nonetheless,still it is an excellent result you have there..

Just out of curiosity, the 0106 (P6TD) bios fixed the turbo throttling by "cheating" ( slashing TDP reading ) or by *ehmm..* "superior design"

, like asus'es claim on ROG series mobos.

I just got me new P6T Deluxe V2 but i need some help with a problem.

Im missing the QPI link settings and the uncore setting in the AI Tweaker menu

Im using the latest 0504 bios but i cant finde the two settings they are just gone

Cross-flash to 0006 bios

Bios 0006 is very good:
