    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    This is a good question :) My understanding is the following (note that I am not really an OC person): First of all Intel provides the EIST (Advance Menu): this allows the CPU to slow down when not working too hard so for a 2600K @ 3.4GHz the processor would run @ 1.6GHz to save power. It...

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    From what I understand the PLL issue is in the hand of Intel as this is code provided to vendor. So hopefully this will get fix. As far as C6 I now have it enabled without problem ? ;) Strange ???

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    To test if TB is working properly start mono thread application like super_pi and check the turbo mode using for example the Intel TB monitor. On day to day work you will not see much difference if C3 is on or off. Differences will show if you run an heavy mono-thread application. However one...

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    Did not know about these boards so I went to see specifications... and they are very impressive but also seems very expensive :( What is the benefit compared to pure SW solution? I am currently using mainly Reason and sometimes Cubase for analog recording & virtual instrument plugin.

    Yes C3 will be enough to enable the TB.

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    If you look back in this thread at http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1036828923&postcount=55 you will see that disabling C3/C6 reporting disable the Turbo boost capability. Therefore you will not get the extra X4 boost factor when only one of the core is used. Another side effect is that the...

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    This problem is really weird and it is very difficult to find the root cause :( I had this problem during the first two weeks after I have assembled my system. I searched information in many thread and tried many things to fix it. Finally the system magically did not hang for one day... two...

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    No you have interpreted correctly. Hang problem is not related to activation. One last thing to look at is memory. I never had any problem running my memory at 1600 but looks like problems have been reported in this area. ONe thing that seems to help a lot is to perform a clean CMOS reset...

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    This was the starting point of this thread! I thought originally that C3/C6 and PLL overvoltage were responsible for system hanging but this does not seems to be the case as now it works with C3/C6 enabled. The symptom was exactly what you describe working fine when system actively working...

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    The Intel Ethernet has been working fine for me at 1 GB :) Only problem was originally connection was detected at 100 MB and I had to specify manually 1GB but now everything works great.

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    Where did you get this version? I am using V2.0 from here http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19105&lang=eng EDIT Sorry my mistake I thought you were talking about TB Monitor from Intel not http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/tmonitor.html

    Asus P8P67 Hangs after being idle for some time

    I now have C3 enabled and it is working fine. I am a little bit reluctant to update to BIOS 1302 Beta. I now have a system working perfectly with the following driver & utilities Note that I am using the latest MEI (1197) from Intel. From what I have heard a new RST is coming soon. I...

    P8P67 Deluxe case fan power level question

    Well in that case that probably mean that you have not run the test to measure the speed versus voltage. For that select the FAN Xpert tab just close to sensor one you are showing on your picture. In this tab you will see a Test button click on it. This will run a test of the PWM settings...

    P8P67 Deluxe case fan power level question

    Let me guess you are using 3 pins fan for your CPU :) This type of fan (DC fan) are NOT handle by the Asus P8P67 Deluxe board! I think this is unacceptable for a so call "deluxe board" but there is nothing you can do. No chance either that it will be fixed in future. Looking at the specs...
