***Official*** Asus Sabertooth P67 Club/Discussion/Info!**

[Mobsters]

I'm considering this board for a build in a month or so, will be using a 2600k.

Am I right in thinking its only got 1x 16 lane PCI-e 2.0 slot? I have one GTX570 SC but want to buy one more for SLI, would it be better off with another board that can do 2 x 16 lane PCI-e 2.0 slots or is it no big deal dropping to 8 lane?

Otherwise board looks fine to me.

I am running GTX480 SLI (2560x1600 res) with this board and i haven't noticed any performance difference to X58 MB with 2x16 lanes with same res

[dr_sharp]

I just ordered so I'll be contributing soon!

Sabertooth Rev3.0
2500k
G.Skill Ripjaw 2x2GB DDR31600
EVGA Superclocked GTX560 Ti

I'll be starting on OEM air and will probably venture my way to water after a few months.

I also have access to dice, LN2, and phase change at work...

Thanks, I'll be giving the Sabertooth some serious consideration

ok i just optimized my system

llc from ultra high to high
offset from +0.02v to +0.04v

now my cpu runs stable with 1.344v min under prime95 and 1.352v under Linx (26.6 and last linpack)

my personal opinion about LLC, it's very ridiculous

i see only 1 difference between ultra high and high, and it's the overshoot

with ultra high i can estimate +0.03v respect high

therefore if i want keep the same vcore with high, i must only set +0.03 V on offset setting

this isn't a llc -.-

i'm not sure but i see that there are the same overshoot between idle and full

what do u think about it?

[Praz]

What you are describing is not overshoot. And yes, it is generally understood that as LLC is lowered base VCORE will need to be increased to maintain the same loaded VCORE.

[silis]

Hmm, seems like that offset voltage is useless. Cant get prime stable even at stock with offset, have to use manual mode. LLC works fine in my opinion.

[Eldonko]

That is strange, offset is fine for me. You using latest BIOS?

[silis]

Really? Yeah i have latest bios 1502. I get ALWAYS an fatal error in prime, im getting really pissed here.

Edit: should have believed it was my fcking memory, failed right away when i tried individually. Getting some new ram tomorrow puuh..

[Mobsters]

anyone here have opportune to take mosfet cooling off and measure its base like this

WHY?

[Mobsters]

For watercooling mosfets ofc

[Badge56]

OK, they do get very hot when overclocking. My sensors on the Sabertooth indicate very high temp when benching on vcore1 and 2. I added a fan and now they stay in the 30s

Like?

because 60-65° for power mosfet isn't a critical temp

[Mobsters]

mine hits 82'c+ after awhile when running linx with 1.5v+

[devil_mcry]

uhm my sabertooth shows 64 v1, 60° v2 after 6 hours of stress test, under Linx (with last linpack) but at 1.39v

i don't know how many °, but i know that is the normal with 1.50v under linx, however, there are 2 considerations

first, power mosfet can support 100+° (like 125, but depend from model) without isseu, you can see the tipical temp range of vga vrm ...

second, this sensors aren't under vrm, but between vrm and cpu, i'm sure that the pcb is heated by the cpu...

[silis]

Guys, got a new ram today, couldnt be happier! Ram works like a dream XMP and everything, i'll post some prime95 blend pics tomorrow, let it run at least 8hrs ! I'm so excited, i'm maybe going to buy an i7 2600k.

@i5 2500k / 4,5ghz,Vcore 1.32 - Sabertooth P67 B3(1502 BIOS), 8GB Ripjaws X 1600mhz CL9, HD 6950 2GB(unlocked shaders), Noctua NH-C12P SE14, (NH-C14) and Arctic Silver 5 arrives friday.

Love you all

Could be bugged sensors as they hover around 64'c for awhile and then jumps to 82'c and then thermal radar gives warning from them getting too hot

[devil_mcry]

lol it's possible

or it's bugged the thermal radar software lol, for my experience the ai suite 2 it's very unstable and bugged

[Badge56]

Vcore 1.40 and mine will reach the 80C also. With one small fan on each heatsink and thay stay in the 30s

[zsamz_]

i just got 1 for the kid
whats best bios so far

[newls1]

1502

[devil_mcry]

there are difference in oc between 13xx and 15xx bios like on p8p67?

[Eldonko]

Havent tried the 13xx bios but I know that 1502 bios works great for OC. Im finishing up a review of this board this week, Ill post a link when it goes live.

usin 13XX i was told its better than 15xx

13xx workin good
