ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

[crossg]

with 1253, I can boot say 4.6 100x46 and it runs single threaded apps at 4.6 but as soon as say prime95 gets started it drops to 100x35. All c states and speedsteps are off, only thing on is turbo. Any ideas? Its not temps, im at 5c on warmest core. Chill'd water


As far as booting up past x51, it seems to not be applying at all(or enough?) internal PLL overvoltage as it does the same blinking command prompt at 100x45 if not enabled.

I had some really strange stuff happen with 1253. After one failed O/C mine kept booting to 103.3 Blck ,only way I fixed that was to reset Cmos with the PC un plugged, then it returned to normal. The first time I got the blinking cursor was trying to boot at 100x52, Just sat there blinking so I held the off button for 4 secs to turn it off, let it sit a minute and restarted without changing anything and it booted right up and primed for 1/2 hr. Go figure. Using 1204 for about a week now and haven't had any bizzare things happen yet when playing around at 50+(fingers crossed). Was just looking at your 980X post. Impressive.
