Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
Sincerely sorry for the delay due to the system error.
Due to some hardware limit and some compatibility problem with nVidia chipset, some power management features of Phenom 2 can not be supported currently. But our engineer will make efforts on some known problem, please focus on our download page for updates.
Thanks for your understanding.

If you continue to experience issues in the future, please do not
hesitate to contact us.

I've told them the folowing bugs:
1) Bios hides P3-State from Operating System. Phenom 2 X6 have 5 P-States, 4 "normal" one and the B0 for TurboCore. Bios only offers B0, P0, P1, P2 to the operating system. So the energy saving P3 state is not available, CPU will only downclock to 1600MHz instead of 800Mhz.
2) There is no option in Bios to disable TurboCore.
3) Downcore Option in Bios offers only downcoring to 1 core, not to 1 to 5 Cores.

I think I'll take a look for a new mainboard...

strange thing is bios cant handle the additional P state

but tools like PhenomMrsTweaker can handle all P states easy

so just disable cool and quiat and handle it with the software tool

the only reall fix needed is disable option for turbo in bios

and im happy i can handly all cpu settings with software tools

just a poor attempt from bios setting turbo states random

doesnt fit good together with any software tools that also manage p states
