    So far I haven't had this issue, and I've done plenty of boot ups on my vanilla P6T. Not sure what's causing your issue, but at least it's easily fixable. Maybe your bios chip is going bad?

    That's great! Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was weird that it would just vanish, but I was too excited about the higher multiplier to mess with it.

    Yeah, 5ghz is probably never going to happen on my lowly P6T, but hey, a man can dream right! And thanks again for the bios flash guide. The only thing that's a little weird with it is that the "High TDP Turbo Mode" option only shows up is if I leave the overclocking setting on Auto. If I...

    Holy Crap, you are my hero! I crossflashed over the the WS bios you had posted and viola, the 18x multiplier on my L5639 sticks under full load! Now to toss in the x5670 I just bought and see what it can do. I already know the board is stable at a 211 BCLK, so here's hoping for 5GHz! :D

    Bummer. Wonder if anyone has tested that xeon support? I've got a spare bio chip I could crossflash and see.

    My vanilla P6T does the same thing. It will only lock in the CPU's base multiplier, not any of the "turbo" multipliers no matter what I try. I've even swapped in the Asus P6T Workstation bios chip and still nothing works. I've seen reports of a modified bios floating around but have yet to track...

    Jeez really wish I would have though of that. Ended up using tweezers veeeeerrrrryyy carefully.

    Upgrade path for 1366 Owners?

    If you like your current system and just want a performance bump, get a Xeon x56xx and OC the crap out of it, but I'd check around to make sure your board will support it. The extra cores will definitely help in multithreaded apps like handbrake, but games will be pretty negligible over your...

    Man, that's the worst! I dropped a screw on a socket once, and then had to figure out how to get it off without damaging more pins. Not a fun experience.

    So the best I've been able to do with my vanilla P6T and X5650 is 4.22Ghz with the following settings: CPU Ratio - 20x It will go up to 22x, but will always throttle down to 20x under load, a known issue with these boards. BCLK - 211 210 works as well, but 200 causes a lot of Blue screens...

    Yep, it should work just fine. I've got an X5650 running on a plain P6T, Bios 1408. Overclocking is pretty solid, but on my board (and I've seen others report this too) the multiplier won't stay locked at x22 with a boosted BCLK, and will kick down to x20 or lower when stressed. Doesn't seem...

    Strange Z77 SSD to SSD copy speeds - cut in half

    Just to confirm, you have both SSD's plugged into the white ports on the board? Because those are the two Intel Sata III ports. I don't remember having that problem with my P8Z77-V LX, but I don't remember what my copy speeds actually were, and I don't have the board any more to test. :(

    H100 RMA

    Maybe a tiny bit better, but not significantly better, and not worse either. It does have a bigger rad though, so maybe that counts for something.
