ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

[Acurax]

Anyone else with the P8P67-M Pro? I just got it yesterday, and I don't see anywhere to manually set CPU voltage?!? There are options for DRAM, VCCIO, and PCH, as well as CPU voltage offsets +/-. I also can't change them CPU multiplier if Speedstep is disabled. Whenever i disable Speedstep, Turbo mode is also disabled and then my multiplier option disappears. I really just want to have control of CPU vcore, as the system auto-adjusts it as I bump the multiplier and I'd rather know it won't shoot it to 1.6..

Bios rev. is 0404, thats the only one I see on Asus site.

I'm running with the 2500K.

Anyone else have this board?

You should see an option "CPU Voltage Offset Mode". Set it to manual and it will give you the option to manually change it.

The M board might have at different bios layout. CPU voltage is the CPU voltage offsets. You just offset the stock voltage by how ever much you add in the offset setting. 1.200 + offset of 0.050 = 1.250. If you have the "CPU voltage" mode, then set it to manual.

Thanks, the options are only + or -. BIOS voltage was reading 1.2, so I set +0.150 and it correctly changed to 1.34-1.35. However, when I load IntelBurnTest in windows, CPUID HM, CPU-Z, and Asus software all show it increases to 1.5+.

I tried under CPU Power management, a setting called "Additional Turbo Voltage" and set it to the minimum of 0.004 hoping it would stop over-volting without me telling it to. Unfortunately, this made no difference.

I also cannot disable SpeedStep without losing the ability to change CPU multiplier.

I'm not looking to break any records here, but I would like to find the upper limit of the chip @ 1.3ish vcore.

"Above you can see the VID change from 1.23 to 1.370 for 3.4 to 4.5 GHz automatically, if this occurs SVID is working properly."

Maybe CPU Voltage = SVID +/- offset volt. Kinda makes sense..
Then dial back offset to 0.0 and just oc. Boot to Windows and see volt in CPU-z (or just in bios). If it goes over your preferred 1.3v, then use negative offset and keep ocing till the limit.

Thanks again! I was reading through the guide and am already trying negative offsets as you suggested.

I'm a bit stuck in my overclock, if someone have any interesting thoughts I would be glad. So


5.0Ghz with mems @ 933 10-11-10-28 1.65v vmem it's stable ( Linx 25 passes all )

5.1Ghz with mems @ 800 9-9-9-24 1.5v vmem it's stable ( Linx 25 passes all )

5.1Ghz with mems @ 933 10-11-10-28 1.65v get Linx error after the 1st or 2nd round..

more vmem doens't imporve it, either does Vccsa ( 0.925v ~ 1 v ) and Vccio ( 1v ~ 1.2v )


5.1 it's stable with 1.424v, I gave him a bit more and the error still shows, so any advices ?

I really want 933 mem, it takes me from 63ish Gflops to 70ish Gflops...

If @ 933 10-11-10-28 1.65v is stable @5Ghz, then it should do the same at @5.1Ghz, unless your IMC or System Agent is bugging.
On SB the Uncore runs at the same speed as Core, so going up to @5.1GHz will have an impact on IMC and System Agent.

I'm almost there, I just need some dahm tweek for 1T el dorado, or a better bios

I do not get the offset. It does not work correctly. If I offset +.08 from 1.27, that should be 1.35 but during linx it jumps to 1.39. The more you offset, the worse it gets. From 1.27 + .20 should be 1.47, but during linx it jumps up to almost 1.6 freaking volts.

I have the latest Beta and I still get the cold double boot.

Trying to find my best 24/7 now at around 1.375v. It will probably be 4.6-4.7. This is the best I have done so far. I tried 5.1 @ 1.5v but it BSOD @ 19 passes of Linx.....so close.

It really doesn't matter. As soon as my 570 blocks get here, the UD7 goes in and the 470's come out so I can have true dual 16x instead of dual 8x.

The SSD is sitting there because hot swap bay 3 had a bad SATA cable. I didn't feel like tearing it apart yet, so that's why you see the red cable. I'm going to move my four SSD's to the bottom two racks and my three normal SATA drives to the hot swap bays.

It happens due to LLC set to extreme

I've been having an issue with my USB mouse that I believe may be related to the computer going into sleep mode.

The computer comes out of sleep mode fine, except that the mouse sometimes will not respond unless I unplug it from the USB and then plug it back in. After that, sometimes there is unusual behavior with the mouse and clicking, for example, sometimes I can't seem to click the "back" button on my browser even though other things still click.

I believe it started when I plugged in a second monitor as an extended desktop. I tried switching from my Nvidia 480 to an ATI card, but it didn't help resolve the issue.

I'm going to try some more testing by going back to one monitor and or disabling sleep mode to see if the problems happen. I've tried various USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports front and back, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any other ideas?

I've been having an issue with my USB mouse that I believe may be related to the computer going into sleep mode.

For anyone else having odd mouse-related issues, I can confirm they only occur after sleep. I disabled sleep and rebooted with no further issues. I found a post elsewhere that also said you can disable USB sleep in the power profiles for the same result, but I haven't confirmed that yet.

I know this is the overclocking thread but I am not having much luck anywhere else. What is the deal with the SLI option not showing up in the Nvidia control panel? I have two Asus GTX 460 cards with the bridge connected running the latest 2001 bios posted on the Asus forums. Both cards show up as being able to be used as PhysX, some people have suggest reinstalling Windows and I have tried this as well. Any help would be appreciated.
