ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

[Pacha]

Guys, do any of you know if a RAID array coming from an ICHx-R like ICH8-R is directly recognized when installed on P67?
I know it works when going from an ICHx-R to another but I just wondered about P67 as it doesn't have any southbridge and it's not the same kind of chip.

Thanks to this post I was able to reach 4.9/1.4vcore by using the posted VCCSA
and VCCIO settings. After passing 4.7 at 1.3 for more than 14 hours I increased the speed to 4.9 but bsod right away, so I tried the VCCSA/VCCIO settings and ran for 8hours prime.

Hi guys,

I have a new sb rig in the works and the last piece should arrive tomorrow. After spending the afternoon reading through this entire thread, I take it if I wanted a modest oc of 4.5ghz it would be best to go with the slightly higher vcore yet lower load voltage by using a LLC of regular and adjust the offset accordingly? Also, which bios seems to be the most stable in terms of OC? Will be back here posting tomorrow should I run into any problems. Wish me luck!
Also, how much do you think I would be able to sell my current rig for? sans ssd and storage drive, will put in a spare 150gb raptor drive.

new rig specs are as follows:

i7 2500k L048A959 + thermalright archon push/pull
p8p67 pro (currently en route via ups, hope weather delays wont stop it from arriving tomorrow)
gskill ripjaws x 2*2gb 1600 6.8.6.24
msi gtx 570
haf x
silverstone strider gold 850w

Most people like the 1204 or 1253 bios. 1204 is a newer version and the stable version of 1253. So I would try 1204 first.



I notice most programs seem to say the max temperature is in the upper 90s, but I heard many say dont go over 80. So what is it actually supposed to be?

Just a quick up' with my 'bricked' board - the store offered me a new bios chip for 12$ and I took it .
Assembling right away .

I don't like to go 80 or over in long Prime runs, but already went 95 degrees (though only for a second) with IBT and newest Linpack, RealTemp thermal status was LOG instead of OK for hottest core. This new Linpack gets the CPU around 10°C hotter than IBT 2.50, so you have to be very carefull, from 60 to 80 in mere second.

My q6600 went to 95-100°C for a few minutes and is still alive, and I had other c2d chips which run without contact with the cooler for a few minutes and has been working pretty well since then.
Staying beneath Tjunction is a need on long term usage but going above for a few minutes won't destroy the chip.

anybody tested the new 1302 beta bios yet ?

[|ron]

Tested it, no improvements

[xEnergie]

I was planning on sticking my dvdrw drive on the marvell controller but just noticed that it doesn't support atapi devices. Anyone have luck running it?

My 1204 Settings for 5.1Ghz with 1.416v crash with linx error at the 2nd run, I'm allready sad I updated no way back now...

[dany74q]

How many GFlops do you get in linx ?

At 4.9 with HT on I get around 55GFlops , without HT around 70GFlops , with windows 7 x64 SP1 .
I saw some 100+ GFlops scores with SP1 - should`nt the score be a bit higher ?

[st0ned]

I get like 72Gflops in using 8threads and SP1, with 4threads I get like 130Gflops++

[dany74q]

interesting . I believe it is tied with the AVX function .
Did you maybe enable a function , or download a software that does that ? or do I get the AVX functioning right after installing SP1 ?

Thanks ,

[st0ned]

It's out of the box with SP1 you need a software that use it tought as LinX with latest linpack

[dany74q]

Yup , just saw the ver. that uses AVX .
The 120~ GFlops I get now are more reasonable .

Thanks again st0ned ,

Sorry but what exact VCCSA and VCCIO settings for my benefit?

Oh yeah, definitely put second fan on that TRUE if you don't have one on already 90c yikes!

I want to know too...

[xEnergie]

Just put together my rig as per sig. Ran a quick linx bench at stock speeds for comparison with oc results. Man am I pleased with this setup! These temps seem almost too good to be true

Sorry guys, I thought the link was included, had no time to check, after the bench passed I reinstalled OS on a new HD. All thanks to maxforces.....very gratefull.

Don't flash to 1003!, at least on Deluxe. It keeps random-BSODing anf if you flash-back, it becomes a mess.

[Skratch]

after a while of stable clocks here is what I run.

asus p67pro 2500k
boot at 50x100 2133 ram
pll 1.65
digi+vrm load line regular
digi+cpu current 100% 110 when pushing for 5.2+
vrm frequency spectrum auto
vrm phase set to extreme
vrm duty set to extreme
vcore auto(it will set depending on overclock)
it defaults to 1.42 with these settings and I lower to 1.37 in windows and it loads up to around 1.48-1.52 depending on load.

Which board have you got? With the Delux I would think you could flash all the way back. If it's PRO/EVO then I would think 1204/1253 should be doable from 1302.

Yikes pretty high VCCSA... a bit scary for me. Max I've bumped is only maybe 2-3 notches.
