ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

Some of us use our PCs for more than Email and Word (and games). Though it can be a bit tricky to get stabilized, offset voltage and LLC are just what the doctor ordered for folks like me. Rock stable at 4.7, idles around 0.9v and runs under load at 1.38v when i need it. There is a good bit of overhead left, but I'm waiting for some more reliable information regarding safe 24/7 voltages...

I was getting x124 at idle/light load for a while, also. It was apparently due to insufficient voltage at lower loads. You can tune it out by easing up on the LLC and bumping the offset.

Yeah, there are different usage patterns. I use my SR-2 for heavy duty jobs like simulations and 3D-renders.
This setup is for emails, surfing and other low-load tasks, and it runs on idle mostly. Therefore, the idle and low-load stability is very important.

Yeah, increasing the Idle-voltage is the way to go, and easing LLC will help too, for sure. These new DIGI+ VRM-buzz may help too, and you guys have to give feedback what is working, or not, in real 24/7 usage.

Then you have the perfect tools to test stability with these CPUs. I can have a configuration that will pass Prime but not LinX, LinX but not Prime or pass both LinX and Prime. But fire up 3ds Max and not make it through an hour of rendering or the encoding of a DVD. I'm not even messing with LinX or Prime anymore for stability testing. If I can pass 3ds Max and HandBrake everything I throw at the system runs without issue.
