I started a p6t deluxe overclocking thread because i have found alot of information that pertains particularly to that board.

telling me if i bought a 45 nm quad without researching is like telling this guy next year when the 32nm processors come out, that if he buys a 32nm CPU without researching it's his fault... it's not his fault he bought the board, it was top of the line, but not "future proof"...

Bottom line is that no one knows for sure what the 32nm move will bring, maybe higher QPI speeds? who knows, but you can never be sure that you will be able to keep the board you have now and upgrade to the newest CPU. AMD has been nice recently and if your board doesn't support HT 3 then you can run HT 2, but that doesn't mean intel will do it.


thanks, i can set those timings easily but there is a ton more settings in my bios and if i just set those timings my system won't boot into windows, so i was hoping to get all of them.

Thats what I thought, I will up post a pic of my ram settings from the bios later tonight for you.

Ok, here is a shot of my ram timings from my bios. If you need a pic of something else let me know.

So the ASUS mobo you have doesn't let you turn off the wattage cap? Do any of the mobos out right now let you do it?

Is the wattage cap part of the overspeed protection? If so, there's a way to turn that off in the BIOS.

nm.

I talked to the people at asus and they said right now that feature is not available on the p6t-deluxe. I submitted a feature request, and it would be great if others would also.

I'm talking about the setting called "CPU VR current override." I believe not all i7 mobos have this setting for you to turn off the wattage cap.

Ohh okay. Any idea if that setting is on the Rampage II Extreme?
