TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[FilipM]

Im reading about turbo throttling on these asus boards with regular bioses. PPL talk about this 006Bios that the crossflash to (from a standard P6T Deluxe board i do believe) and there is no Tutbo Throttling anymore. Anybody had any experience with this? Has it improved overclocking?

 

[brandonwh64]

ok. im going to google the blue screen

THis is the error i get

0x00000000D1

OK this is what i have found from several websites. anyone see the main issue that could be causing this

"from what Ic an read possible bad memory or driver"

I just got the same BSOD AGAIN. this is twice since i have built this machine.

I know on my P6T6 they released it but stated that your on your own if the board goes bad since it requires them to disable the overvoltage protection on the mosfets.

As for the bios, its in the XS thread about that board. I've seen it but it was a while ago.

What is your uncore and ram speed and what are your results (GFlops) in LinX for 4.1Ghz setting?

 

[brandonwh64]

hmm i will rerun Linx and give you Gflops and i changed my RAM to run 9-9-9-24 instead of 8-8-8-20

 

[FilipM]

Can anyone explain to me how do i use this bloody AUFDOS thing

 

[brandonwh64]

trying to flash your bios? there is a good windows version and most Asus boards have EZflash that you can do it from the bios itself

 

[FilipM]

Yea but im trying to crossflash a bios from a P6T Deluxe V1. I dont wanna do it through windows and Asuses EZ FLash in the bios detects it as an older bios and wont flash back.


I want to kill Turbo Throttling

You need the engineering (?) version of it.

Once you have it, you need to be able to boot in to dos. I use my P6T6 cd. I don't know why, but when I boot from that cd, it boots right in to an option that gives me dos. Put AUFDOS and the rom file on a usb stick and run from dos the AUFDOS file. It should tell you what commands to use to flash the bios. Basically, you'll just tell it what the name of the bios file is and it will take care of the rest.

Really easy except for finding a Engineering version of AUFDOS. I think I found mine on XS over the summer, but can't remember exactly where. If you want to, just PM me your e-mail and I'll send it as an attachment.

Just curious, but why don't you simply disable it and set your clocks manually in BIOS?

 

[mastrdrver]

The Asus boards will throttle anyway with thermal disabled in the bios if core temps or voltages get too high. It doesn't offer a full over ride like some others do.

I DL'ed the ES sample of AFUDOS. DO i need to make the USB bootable?

I tried yersterday with the ASUS cd and it was just sitting there with the letter C:\

My usb is like H:\ or something. But as soon as i tell it H:\, it says invalid stuff



I'll try it again when i come back from school



EDIT: My usb was being found as D so i sorted it out now, crossflashed to beta 006 bios

For those of you running high speed ram, like 1800 and above with a Core i7 920, what kind of qpi voltage did you need to run to get the sticks stable at rated speeds? I've just found that I need like 1.36v to get my HyperX 1800 stable at 1901 while maintaining a 4.0ghz OC.

I never had to worry about this before, as I have primarily run 1600 sticks or lower on my other i7 rigs.

i fixed my mobo, damn pin was bent to the side now i got 6GB


im using 1.4 qpi to get 2000Mhz havent tryed less i just know it boots at the volt

My HyperX's 1600Mhz @ 1800 were stable @ 1.375V. I was pushing the ram so i didnt try to go lower, it is probably possible.

1.4VTT for Dominator GTs @ 2GHz. That's the lowest CPUs will allow 2GHz RAM

OK, so it's not unusual. I've done some other research too. Seems it's pretty standard to run 1.4v despite Intel spec. It's kinda funny that I worry about spec at all. I must be getting old. Seriously though, I think I've ran completely within spec with all of my i7 rigs. They clock so well at low voltages, that I really never needed to go out of spec to reach 4.0+.

Should the qpi voltage be within a certain amount to the vcore? I've heard conflicting reports. I've always just run my qpi voltage equal to to my vcore.

It's totally fine to worry about the VTT spec. If you juice the VTT too much you can even kill your ram. I'd say just like the core voltage I'd put high risk at over 1.45V and past 1.5V you'd want some serious cooling or risk immanent damage within a week's time of running. @ 2GHz I run 1.4V 24/7 for a few months now, no issues.

Ok as my PC was idleing for about 1 1/2 tonight i got BSOD 0A. I looked it up and it says that a driver tried to access a IRQ that was already assigned? how can this happen?

Can just be some sort of instability or hardware conflicting with one another. However, that can actually happen and you'll have to set IRQ's manually.

 

[brandonwh64]

its the first time i have gotten that one.

imma go into my bios and do some checking around

Ok, keep us posted. I had this BSOD haunt me once, ended up being a unstable PSU.

Are we talking about spec here?

From what I've seen, all the charts out there that track vvt, vcore, and their respective speeds for overclocks the majority fall in to the area that vcore must be close to vvt (~.30 range).

While my ram doesn't like to go much over 1700 at all, I've found that when I keep uncore 2x ram, no matter the speed, that I need less volts compared to same uncore speed with slower ram. Though, I run my ram at lower speeds and keep timings tight so I can run slower uncore and not be concerned with vvt volts.

edit: BTW, how did you get you GSkills to clock 1800? I've got the same sticks and they too go CAS 7 but more than 1700 and its a fight to just pass memtest or to get the system to see all 3 sticks.

Anyone with a P6T Deluxe V2 - i sugest you put the newest bios in (0901), increases board stability, finally 20 and 19 multiplyers are usable for 4Ghz, sort of.
