Overspeed protection on the 920 is limiting further overclock

You have to find the following setting in bios "CPU VR current override" and set it to enabled.
Have fun pushing it!

That is a sexy looking mobo my friend.

Although isn't that voltage slightly too high? I thought anything over 1.3625 was no no for 45nm?

it changed with nehalem intel said the new max is 1.55

edit: i like this turbo mode thing though 3.7 now.

Edit 2: 3.88 now... i'm getting there.

i didn't see this option in the bios
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...4&postcount=93
so i called asus and asked them about it. they said that option wasn't supported yet, but they submitted a feature request for that option to improve the overclocking on the p6t-deluxe.

Is the new max voltage 1.55 now for a fact?

that's what the articles i have read so far have said, but i'm not too worried i haven't needed anything over ~ 1.34v anyways.

How good is this motherboard in terms of cooling

I might get this P6T Deluxe only if the standard motherboard cooling is good enough to where I will not need a freaking LCS for the motherboard.

Can you comment on temperatures of the motherboard (include your ambient temp and what your setup is too) please

Oh ok true, I've seen a lot of good overclocks on 1.34v. I was just wondering cuz that would be pretty sweet to see higher stable overclocks.

So, it should be arriving some time this week..

1.55V, seriously? That's pretty good. Should enable over 4GHz on the stock cooler even..

my ambient is 21degrees celcious, and with the stock cooling in my antec 1200 case the northbridge idles at 32-35 degrees celcious, and it loads around 50 degrees. I put an 80mm fan blowing on the north bridge and now it only loads into the low 40's. like i said the current bios doesn't allow you to remove the over current protection, so i would try to find one that does if you aren't buying an extreme.

i doubt it, my chip runs pretty hot. low 60's on load and that's with watercooling at 3.88 Ghz. Before they moved the memory controller onto the chip you were limited by voltage, but now it seems we will be limited my temps again, or maybe i just seated my waterblock wrong, who knows.

And that proves it why spend £800 for an i7 965 that can get to 4.2GHz from 3.2GHz or spend £200 for an i7 920 that can get to 4.0GHz from 2.66GHz

What I am more concerned about is when the RAM slots are full.. will you ever be getting more RAM?

I know there is a massive difference on my current chipset... With 2-4GB (two sticks) installed, my NB doesnt go more than 5*C over room ambient (35*C max with 30*C ambient) but when I put in 4 sticks (8GB) I start going over 50*C ON A LIQUID COOLED chipset! Air cooling would be past 60*C which is unacceptable.

Keep posted! I need to know before I buy as I don't have much money to spare

Thanks for input

I might get a triple channel kit, but other than that i don't plan on getting more ram for awhile. the reason your chipset is getting hot might be because the ram controller is on the north bridge, so the CPU might get hotter when you add more ram on an i7 machine.

Ah

How are your temperatures on the current LCS you got going now?

you mind running realtemp and PRIME95 x64 and finding the highest load temp after a few minutes?

[Toonshorty]

Are they the temps at 3.88GHz? If so thats not bad, although for air cooling overclocking to 3.8GHz and beyond may be a little harder.

yeah it is, i don't know why real temp says 3.6 but cpu-z reports 3.88

Hey c2dwerd, did you try this?

That supposedly is the famous setting you need.

 

[XFreeRollerX]

ok thanks for posting that, I was curious if it was pointless to get a phase setup but looks like not the case

that's disabled, but that has been there since the late p4 days. i asked Asus when i called and they said that was not the option i was looking for anyways.
