Asus P6T Deluxe Discussion Thread

[GregUMR]

I have crossflashed my P6T SE to P6T so now I should be able to use sli. I wonder if it is possible to flash it to P6T Deluxe or Rampage 2 Extreme ? I flashed my P5E x38 to rampage formula x48 without any problems and I had more settings and more stable vcore with that bios with my E8600.

/wekktor

That is an interesting question. I looked around and couldn't find any results of someone attempting that. Anyone care to comment on a p6t -> rampage ii crossflash?

[wekktor]

Do you think it is possible to do that? What could happen if it didnt work? Does it erase the bios and then see that it isnt possible to flash or can it see that it is impossible to flash it before the bios has been erased ?

[wekktor]

hallo

doesnt anyone know if this crossflashing is possible? if it isnt possible shouldnt it stop before it begins to erase the bios when it read bios ?

[GregUMR]

Well to even attempt a cross flash of the bios you have to enable a flag that forces the bios flashing program to flash regardless. So I think it will just erase the bios then write the contents of the new rom file from star to end. So if it is too long or short of a rom file it will just truncate/not finish. If the rom matches the size of storage for the bios rom image then I would think chances are it won't entirely brick your bios.

Problem is, if you do brick your bios for your motherboard, I don't think you can do anything. It's not like a video card where the motherboard still starts up and you just blind flash. You'd probably have to find the pins on the rom chip and flash using a hardwired connection.

[wekktor]

isnt there any rich here that could try to crossflash p6t/p6t se to deluxe/rampage?

Why havent anyone tried it? Cant find anything about it on the net.

Nice BCLK! What voltage adjustments did you run other than the 1.456 VCore?

[wekktor]

is that flashed with deluxe bios?

[marcolecorse]

is that flashed with deluxe bios?

My ?

[wekktor]

yes

[marcolecorse]

yes

No flashed deluxe

[wekktor]

ok but do you know if it is possible to flash it to a deluxe ?

[wekktor]

still noone know if it is a possible crossflash?

[infected_]

Why dont you try it for yourself?

[wekktor]

maybe get a bricked motherboard?

[deachus]

If someone has tried it or succesfully done it there would be information here. If your afraid of bricking your board (which is a good chance) why would anyone else jump to try it?

[wekktor]

eh, someone must have tried it first on every crossflashed mb. They could be bricked too ? Someone must have been the first that tried to crossflash p6t se to p6t for an example, and he should know that it could be bricked.

I have Asus P6TD default Bios 0106 every time i tried to OC over 4200 Mhz id get unstable results crash,reduced performance, had no idea motherboard would throttle down the multi for no reason even with temps way within reason , then i checked I7 turbo tool and true enough it throttles on heavy load (prime,LinX) sometimes even at 4200mhz was not 100% so i stumbled upon this thread and crossflashed a new AsusP6TD to -> old Asus P6T Delux v1 bios 0006



Tada !! multi rock solid no more annoying throttling and managed to squeez some extra speed ( True 120 + 1xScythe SlipStream 2000rpm ), did not try 4400 yet getting pretty close to thermal ceiling .
So to anyone else with P6TD version wondering if its possible to crossflash , downgrade bios , its a YES.

[radi4fun]

^^^ do you have P6TD V2 and corssflashed it to Deluxe V1?

[-=DVS=-]

I have this one -> ASUS P6TD Deluxe (suppose to have new revision of NB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-403-_-Product

you refering to older ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-365-_-Product

crossflashing to Deluxe V1 should work on both , they are all the same more or less except one of them has SAS controler.

[radi4fun]

hum... i'm wondering with all this problems and stuff with P6T MB, i'm starting to think if i should sell the Deluxe V2 and get a better ocing Gigabyte Motherboard.

Hello,

My uncore clock is 3200 MHz currently (DDR3-1600 on a P6T Del. V2, BIOS 1610) , and at anything higher than that IBT/Linx would start BSODing my system.

This feels a bit too much razor's edge to me, and I'd like to have a bit more of a margin. What are the key factors to that? The one that's apparent to me is the Uncore/QPI voltage. I'm at 1.35V currently.

AFAIK most people cannot hit 4000 and thus are limited to less than DDR3-2000, but a bit more than 3200 should be possible on my rig...

I have the P6T Deluxe V2 with 920 D0. If you go back one page in this thread you can see my screenshots at DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-20-1T Uncore 4000.

This was not possible at all without changing B2B setting to 10 or 12. B2B is under your memory timings. Asus defaults this to 0. I would BSOD instantly with LinX or MemTest until I changed B2B to 12. It also allowed me to lower my vQPI and vDimm voltages significantly while still staying 20 runs LinX maxmem stable. Try it out.

Hi,

thanks for the hint. To make it short, I know about B2B CAS delay, however the higher it goes the less throughput you get. This makes 2000 MHz quite pointless especially at the expense of stressing your hardware more despite less or app. the same throughput and latencies.

My 920 is a C0 and my RAMs are Corsair 1600 CL7s with Elpida chips but no Hypers. It didn't work at 4000/2000, but I got it stable at 3600 QPI clock with ~1.5V Uncore. 4000/1600 boots now at least, but Linx crashes the system after 30 seconds.

Other than that I am quite satisfied with the result, more stability and overall much more reasonable results. ^.^

3x2 GB Corsair DDR3-1600 CL7 Rev. 2.2 (no Dominators), 7-7-7-20-72-1T, 1.66V, 1.425V/3400 Uncore, CPU@19x200 HT enabled...

Asus has come out with a special bios for the Asus P6T Deluxe v2 boards so users won't have to cross flash with the v1 bios any more to disable turbo throttling issues.
If this bios works for you then post some results. If it doesn't work then let users know that too.

Update: This new bios has not lived up to the hype. It does not fix the turbo throttling issues. You are better off to cross flash to the 0006 v1 bios.
