Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Update.
All of the previous posts were with BIOS 0402. I have now updated to 1053 beta. With guidance from the post by JJ (Asus rep) here. I have been able to run Win7 64bit edition at 4.8 and 4.9GHz. Basically the more voltage the more megahertz. I have PLL voltage enabled, DRM Freq...
You are basically identical to me. CPUID reports about 4.16v for me. Do you have your cpu voltage set to manual or offset mode?
I also see that under load HWMonitor is reporting 94Watts of CPU power. Intel only rates these chips to 95W, which is one reason I haven't tried to push it higher.
Would like to know the how much CPU watts you are seeing under load. My 2500K OCed to 4.7Ghz at 1.416volts is hitting 96watts when running Orthos small FFTs or IntelBurnTest stress tests.
Here are some of the UEFI BIOS

under CPU Power Management:
CPU ratio 33
Intel Speedstep enabled
Turbo mode enabled
Turbo Ratio Max Turbo Ratio setting in BIOS
Turbo ratio for each core set at 47
everything else on the page set to Auto
Load Line calibration set to Auto...
I'm afraid it's too much trouble as the 212+ has it's own retention plate that bolts to the motherboard first. I wouldn't use this factory HSF on a Core2Duo Overclock. I purchased the CM 212+ for like $16.99 on Black Friday, they are only $29.99 everyday at Microcenter.
One thing the Asus...
My old setup was a E8400 OC to 4.07Ghz on a Asus P5Q Pro mb and Corsair 2x2GB DDR2 PC8500 ram. New Setup Icore 5 2500K OC to 4.7Ghz and a Asus P8P67 mb and Mushkin Silverline 2 x 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz. ram. There might be a few people out there with a good Core2Duo wondering what kind of...
I just picked up the Microcenter bundle of a Intel iCore5 2500K and Asus P8P67 motherboard on Sunday.
I have been building computers since the 386 days and this was the first time I actually thought that I was going to break something closing the CPU socket retention device. Otherwise...
Had some issues with my P8P67 failing to post after I changed the ram from 1066 to 1333. The dram timing had numbers entered into them instead of Auto so it wasn't using SPD. This new BIOS going to take some getting used to.
I slept in today went down to the computer and started to check on the SB buzz. I had wanted to get the Asus P8P67 regular board and a 2500K. Checked prices at Newegg vs Microcenter and saw they had the same price $159.99. Found the new 2400 and 2500K iCore5 on MC website finally and seen...
To Ryokurin: Yes I tried setting the ram to 256MB for the UMA.
Latest update:
I have tried two different AMD motherboards with the AMD Phenom II Quad core using Corsair 2GB XMS3 1333Mhz DDR3 running Win7 Home Premium.:
Biostar A780L3G with 780 chipset
MSI 785GM-P45 with 785...
