That's not how it works in our bios. Turn off C-1 and C-stepping variants.


Yeah, it's that too.

I thought he already got that off, 'cause he said in Windows XP it's not like that.

XP requires some kind of drivers for this option to be active, but Vista got this installed, and you can access this option through Power management.

fit you need to turn off c states and the other throtteling option (forget what it is) then you change the settings of high performance mode...make sure everything is set on like full blast set it to neve shut off the HDD's etc...then reboot the rig.

pffffffffffffttttt

yo dont think i get deals on stuff? thats how i got all this crap i have.

i got all my i7 stuff cheap except for the RIIE cause asus is being an asshole lately.

luckily... my friend at MBP had asus overnight me one for $38 shipping.

im not trying to be mean man... im just frustrated with whatever is causing this setup to run like garbage.

im seriously getting the P6T6 WS Revolution asap~!

What's so special about a P6T6 Revolution? It seems the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence but has anyone had a chance to find out if this motherboard lives up to the hype? Is it even for sale yet?

I'm about to give up on my Asus P6T Deluxe.:banghead:

P6T6 has 2x chips for PCI-E so you can get true 16x16x16 configs. P6T are shit... I can't stand the ASUS build quality on these x58s.

p6t6 revo is the ONLY board SO FAR that has the NF200 other than skulltrail and a few highend AMD boards like the foxconn destroyer.

I keep eying that board up as well. All full-length PCIe slots kick ass. Wonder if it clocks as well as it's more standard brethren?

from what i read on xfastest, it has the R2E bios minus the extra crazy features like the irog, dual bios, OC/OV switches onboard. other than that its very close.

irog is a chip that lets the bios run all the time so you can use the LCD poster thingy and the switches to change the bios and monitor hardware while the board is off.

it also negotiates the dual bios's when something wont post. you can also flash one bios to the other bios.

too many features to list. its SICK as hell and i dont think any other board in the world has that feature.

Ahh, I see. Sounds pretty damn neat. Something to make life easier, but not necessary for high clocks.

CP its more like amd am2 chips so you should feel at home. leave the multi on auto with speedstep and turbo enabled. everything else disabled. leave HT enabled as well for now.

you should be able to get to 160 bclk easy

make sure you have a setting called "ACPI 2.0" aka "HPET timer" ebabled. it helps keep the x58/i7 clocks in sync.
