having trouble with asus p6t what to change?

evil-onion · 13 Jun 2009 at 15:56

I looked at a previous thread with the P6T motherboard and says to change the setting to manual and set the blck etc but my motherboard wont let me.

Im a bit confused as to what i can change in order to overclock this thing... it has the options there but if i hit enter it wont open the menu up... any ideas where i need to change setting? :confused:

changing settings now.

going with

ai overclock - manual
cpu ratio - 20x
bclk - 200
DRAM - DDR3-1603MHz
Turbo Mode - Disabled

ok, its now sat at 3998.5mhz
core voltage 1.424v
bus 199.9

i should be able to push this a fair bit higher cant i?

stability seems ok, not had any issues and prime ran ok, temps went a bit high though, idle is 39 and load was 84...

ok im really confused on this bit... everything is at just under 4ghz... but when i run the torture test with prime95 with cpu-z open... cpu-z shows my cpu speed and multipler etc fluctating... keeps moving from 12-20 and the mhz figure is all over the place...?

ok done that, but its still fluctuating...

any ideas?

edit, just looked in manual, it says i have a speedstep setting in bios... but when i go into the bios, it is not there :?

evil-onion · 13 Jun 2009 at 17:51

nope, been in there as well mate.
says in the manual that it is located under the A20M section, but nothing is there for speedstep... some of the settings in the manual picturres are not in my bios for some reason...?

evil-onion · 13 Jun 2009 at 18:11

everything is the same exact the speedstep bit.

bios version says its 0403

ive done a search on the asus website and it says bios 0603 is available.
Do i upgrade to this one? or do i have to do all the previous updates as well?
which version of bios are you running?

thanks for the help btw
