Asus P8P67 Update!!!

For the record: any changes to the multiplier settings do not show up under POST nor within the UEFI bios. Now that I've got Windows installed, once stress testing my O/C shows up fine :)

Panic over!
 
mine was running happy with 1003 then i went & updated & its not proving as good for me & it wont let me revert back to a older bios now

thanks, are you successfully running your ram at 1600? I tried before to no avail, but I've cleared the CMOS since and had no issues whatsoever since then, but been running at 1333 just for the sake of ease.

I've been running 1600 with no cold boot issues (after the usual teething/config issues) with both, but it seems to me 1003 is better - less issues and 1253 seems to offer little meanginful benefits - also you cannot easily rollback. I would suggest 1003 first, and if it works for you, don't change until a new non-beta is posted on the asus site.
 
I had the double post, cold boot issue with 1053 BIOS but it seems to be sorted by going into the APM settings and selecting Power On by PCI-E Enabled. Seems to leave the machine in a different power state when you shutdown.

If you are still getting cold boot problems and recieve the Overclocking failed message then this fix might not work for you as its probably your RAM causing it.

I am sticking 1053 for now, the only benefit 1253 would give me is the possibility of overclocking my RAM.
 
Has this managed to solve the mobo double boot problem for peeps?

Im using the default bios, as i havent got around to updating yet, but i have to reboot 3 times before it loads up, and then ram is set back to 1333mhz, but once it ran 1600. It annoying whenever i cold boot, and have to wait and prevail for 5mins.

It certainly has for me yes, and I dont have an issue with 1600 mem either anymore. Its still riddled with bugs but its a damn site more stable, and is pretty much usable now - It really should have been in this state prior to launch. Terrible of Asus to launch with the BIOS in the state it was imo, but then again, it was clearly a business decision "its crap but if we dont sell these on launch we're missing huge market share, we'll flog it anyway and fix it later..."

Installed 1253 bios today. Still have to hit the power switch twice to boot up. This mobo has issues for sure. Hardware/design problem or fixable by bios? I'm not clued up enough to tell.

I bought this Asus mobo because it was such a popular choice for lots of folks. If it was so popular, It must be a good bet, I thought. I've had Asus before. No problems. But this p8p67 has been released without proper testing I suspect.
 
I'm in the same boat....whenever i cold boot i get no video and have to reboot. THen i get the overclocking failed screen and just after this i can load windows....
 
I think this is a great motherboard with lots of potential but we all have to wait a little until they push out the updates to us. Im sure when its all sorted it will be worth the money spent "hopefully" :D

Hey fat dog

After updating to the 1253 I am getting higher temps than before, which were already on the high side, so I've been trying to roll back for a few hours now with no joy. Is there a way of doing it?

Thanks
 
I dont think there is a way you can roll back as myself and many other people i know wanted to know the same thing but we can not find any information on doing this :(
 
Well thats a bit crap :)

I had a nice 12 hour stable 4.6ghz overclock, couldnt get to 4.7ghz, updated to see if it helped, and now I cant seem to manage even 4.4ghz. All the way down to 4.2ghz at the min with 1.275v to keep the temps down

I'm fairly sure my temps have gone up by about 5 degrees using the exact settings. You had anything similar?

What settings and temps are you getting for your 4.5ghz?

Thanks
 
When I went from 0402 --> 1053 my idle temps jumped 4-5 degrees. I read somewhere that this was because the old bios was polling them incorrectly and using extremely low power settings when `idle', which was causing some of the freezing issues. Haven't really checked out the effect on maximum temps, as without OC I was previously reaching 50 deg on linx. I think the i5-2500k is rated for service up to 72?
