I wish they would hurry up and release a new bios that fixes all the cold boot nosnense.....

[SimpleTECH]

Which one for the P8P67PRO ?

No. I did some testing on an earlier BIOS and found that with 52+ and 1866MHz 6-7-6, it didn't respond to VCCIO for some reason, yet the VCCSA started to work in much the same way as the VCCIO normally would have. I'm still not sure if this is an isolated BIOS quirk with the hardware I have or if it's something worth looking into. Lsdmeasap tried it on a Gigabyte board and didn't see the same, but he was using Hyper modules I believe, and I was using PSC.

For 5GHz and below, with 1866MHz and say, CAS 8, you shouldn't really need much extra VCCIO.

Hey thanks Clunk for the info (I also read your OC guide-nice job!). I was curious as I saw one article claiming they needed a VccSA of 1.1, a VccIO of 1.106, and a PLL of 1.9 in order to get their 2600k cpu to run stable at 4.8ghz (48*100) with RAM at 1600mhz (I don't recall what latency at which they were running the memory).

Oh thank god..... works!!!!!!!!!

I shutdown and booted from cold 10 times just to make sure.... this is fantastic. Asus tech support told me to RMA it because of my VGA LED double boot issue.....

Thanks again!

That's what I'm here for.

Got a P8P67-M and I'm stuck with 404 bios so no "Internal Pll Overvoltage" for me
Pro version of the board is already updated to 415 so I a bit disappointed

New BIOSes for Pro, Deluxe, and Maximum IV Extreme!

I'm having issues with getting my ram to run at 1600mhz

I have 8 GB of ADATA 1600mhz

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820211409

I have it set to 1600mhz in Bios and have giving it 1.55 volts

It's still reading at 1066mhz in cpuz

I do have the timings set to auto just raised the volts hopping it would get the correct settings.

Can someone post there info for 4.8 4.9ghz range on the Deluxe

New BIOSes, software and drivers ^^

[makaka]

there is somethings strange with motherboard , i think the bios need few fix , the motherboard some time refuse to post on setting previously tested as stable 2 h linux , few try later it work just fun , also i was unable to run high memory clock with processor freq , i have a 2400 mhz ram it run fine at 4000 mhz but to go over 4600 i need 1600 mhz or less

Try more IO or SA voltages. Maybe your mem controller needs more juice.

Hi, Can you tell me what "Internal Pll Overvoltage" does? I know what a PLL is just don't know how this setting works in this context.

[EniGmA1987]

^^^^^
Also, can anyone say how much overvoltage the PLL gets when this setting is turned on? Or is it just "more"

This is on 1252

Not bad I think i can push 5ghz the temps stay real cool under water

I have a similar issue driving 4 sticks of RAM.

I have had all 4 sticks in the system individually and ran 5-6 passes of Memtest 86 on each module and each module passes I put all 4 sticks in and run memtest again and it falls over inside about 15mins.

I am currently testing each set (2 sticks) but I believe its either the CPU IMC or the board. I have tested all 4 slots and none some to have any problems its just when I try to push all 4 slots.

This is with 2 lots of 2x2Gb Corsair XMS3 1600C9 at stock! Using XMP profiles to set voltage. Can I do anything to help the chips IMC? Bump a voltage slightly?

This is a work PC so dont really want to have to play with voltages to get it to run.

This is Exactly the problem I am trying to Avoid. I want to push a decent 24/7 OC, 4.7ghz on air, but I would also like to run 16gb as it would make some of the editting etc, I do on occaision much smoother.
Do you think using These dimms would make a difference, as 1.35v at 1600 would stress the IMC less no?

I run on a P8P67 Deluxe, 2500k 4.6Ghz 24/7 on air. I have 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws X RAM using XMP profile (1600 @ 1.50v) and it runs great.

Next time before you start you system follow the steps from 1-6 below

1. Make sure system is off
2. Unplug power supply cable
3. Take out battery from mobo
4. Back of mobo near audio plug little black reset button push it for 10-15 sec
5. Put battery back into mobo
6. Plug back in power supply and restart system and you should not get cold boots anymore

Nice, so a kit like THIS should be ok then? I just need it to be stable, as I am allowed quite a bit of leeway to personal use of this comp, but I do need it to be stable when i have to work on it ^^

I don't know if this is a bad thing or not, but I figured I would ask anyhow. After this BIOS update the speedstep does not function right. Before at idle my computer would go down to like 1.6ghz and then when there was a load it would go to the OC'd setting of 4.6ghz. Now it constantly stays at 4.6ghz. Speedstep is enabled and the CPU C1E, C3, and C6. I only set the multiplier on the AI Tweaker page and the CPU Configuration and CPU Power Management multiplier is still set to Auto as it was on the last beta BIOS. Any ideas what is going on here? I may have messed something up along the road, but I set everything exactly how I had it to the best of my knowledge. Thanks!

I think the fix for this is to power off, unplug the power supply, clear the CMOS, plug in the power supply, clear the CMOS again, boot into Windows, then reboot. Supposedly that clears the CPU tables (whatever that is) and is reported to fix the problem.

I followed bingo13's instructions on the BIOS page:

"Try this please, shutdown the system. Remove power from the power supply for a minute or two, clear CMOS, then reattach power. Startup, enter UEFI and input your required settings, for your memory please manually change the memory speed, timings and dram voltage based on your kit specifications. Reboot, enter Windows, then shutdown again. Now restart the system. This will clear the ME and memory/CPU tables. It could be that after flashing the BIOS up from a lower version (pre-1053) that the tables were never properly cleared. This is especially true if the MEI driver is not loaded. Let me know if this helps, if not we will go to step two."

Still have the same issue. I can try again by clearing the CMOS twice in the way you described and see if that fixes it though. Thanks.

EDIT - After doing this again how you said it seems to have somewhat worked...but seems finicky. Voltage doesn't seem to be dropping with the processor speed. Hmm...hopefully some others can chime in with their experiences on this.

Yep that's that one, it should work fine. I'm sure other 16GB packages might work, but I never overclocked anything before and got them just to be safe. After much testing, I can affirm it's safe for my setup. I'm even able to get into Windows at 50x multiplier on the 1253 bios but the voltage/temps under stress were way too high for my air cooler.

villa1n, that's the kit I have and it works like a charm in the PRO version. Running at 1600 @ the stock 1.5 volts and O/C'd to 4.5mhz. I have the Coolermaster 212+ and it fits, but you will have to slide the fan up a couple of mil's to clear the RAM. Not a huge deal and you can't even tell visually.
