The third one is pretty much the same plus has a lot of backlight leakage. I have ordered one from Amazon. I really hope it is OK. If not, what else shall I look at? Any chance I can get a new backlight bulb for my old Dell 2005FP? It was rock-solid from day one for over 6 years.

Can anyone else with a U2412M Mfg. Date of May 2012 tell me their serial number? I have returned the second one to the store and got a third. (Maybe the third time's the charm?!) I am not optimistic though because all 7 units they have (had) in stock are from the same shipment and all have...

Well, that tells us at least that not all units made in May are bad. What is your serial number? Mine are CN0M2GCR7426125N 11UL (the first one) & 126L (this one)

Thanks Jeffredo, I know, this is very strange. And to have 2 units with exactly the same issue?! I have tried it on a different computer with the same result, so it is not the video card. I went into the service screen and tweaked the 6500k preset to actually be 6500k. The factory...

I just bought a U2412M from a local store to replace my old 2005FPW from 2006. I had to return the first one due to a pronounced greenish cast on all presets. This is not spotty tinting, it is overall and even. The second one from the same store (and close in serial number to the first) has...

OK, thanks. Understood now that Aida64 is the only app that can fully stress one core at a time. I have not tried your stepped core scheme yet so that makes sense as well. --Mark--

Thanks for the guide HardLuck, But whenever I try these single core tests, the work is spread out among all the threads. I assume this is due to Hyperthreading. So I assume you have Hyperthreading turned off then? If so, wouldn't the advantages or hyperthreading be greater than the extra .3...

I don't mind at all. Interesting. I found that the voltage was spiking higher than it needed to with Offset on "Auto". Maybe it has something to do with your having the EPU enabled? --Mark--

Hi, I'm all swapped out now with the new Rev. B3 Deluxe (Thank You ASUS!) and I took the opportunity to upgrade to a new Zalman 9900 Max cooler and Seasonic X-660 power supply. (--great price on the PS from MC by the way) The new board came with the 1305 BIOS. Below are my current settings...

I now have the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2 but it is disappointing. The original Freezer 7 Pro worked well with the Core2 Duo but it is not enough for the 2600k when OC'ing even modestly I picked up a Zalman CNPS 9900 Max locally and it is waiting for the MB swap from ASUS to arrive...

I'm using this motherboard swap as an opportunity to improve my system. I have a new (better) cooler ready to go as well as a new power supply. (picked up the new Seasonic X-660 at Micro Center for a really good price.) So I'll end up with the new MB with the all-good SATA ports, greater...

Thanks. --Mark--

No problem cantankerous, Thanks for clarifying the firewire chipsets. I hope you can get both your cards working. --Mark--

I have the P8P67 Deluxe. The Audiofire 2 is working just fine on the onboard firewire port with the latest Echo drivers. Not sure what you mean by "6308P or 6315?". No dropouts or crackling at all. The only issue is that every once in a while after the computer has been idle for a while, I...

Thanks. How can I test to see if this single core turbo mode is working? I can't tell any difference so far between C3 off or on. --Mark--

Thanks Dr., OK, I will try enabling C3 and see what happens. That would be enough to re-enable the per-core Turbo function? I am using an Echo AudioFire 2 firewire interface using ASIO drivers with Cakewalk Sonar and Steinberg Wavelab. With both C3 & C6 disabled, using DPC Latency...

That's really strange DrCoolZic because for me it was the disabling of C3 & C6 that stopped my freezes. I am afraid to re-enable them, plus I don't see any reason to either. The speedstep is working fine. The CPU throttles down to 1600 when idle just fine. I still have yet to find complete...

Thanks DrCoolZic, That does make sense. C3 & C6 reporting are staying off for me! This CPU idles cool enough that my system is "green" enough for me without individual cores getting turned off.

No freezes so far since I disabled both C3 and C6 reporting in the BIOS. --Mark--

My system froze again overnight while idling. I will try disabling the C3 & C6 reporting. Exactly what are those anyway? --Mark--

A big thank you to everyone on here. I think I have solved the freezes with your help. Did a bunch of audio work on the system yesterday with no freezes and it survived overnight for the first time ever. System is: P8P67 Deluxe Core i7 2600K G.Skill Ripjaws X Series F3-12800CL7D-8GBXH 4GBx2...

OK, thanks again for you help. This is the last time I will ever update this close to a new hardware launch! From now on, I will wait until the 2nd generation of hardware like I used to. I don't like being an unwilling BETA tester. I have set everything in the BIOS back to Stock /...

Understood Forceman but this RAM IS specifically designed for Sandy Bridge according to G.Skill. That is why I chose it. It passes every test I can throw at it in or out of Windows. I really don't think its the RAM. And the XMP profile is setting it to the RAM manufacturer's specs. Isn't...

1.600 volts, as recommended by G.Skill. No, I have not. Should I? If so, why? Shouldn't the XMP settings be correct since they were made by the memory manufacturer? I am not a memory settings expert. And the G.Skill Ripjaws "X" memory I am running is designed specifically for Sandy Bridge. I...

No problem and understood. Gary Key of Asus has 5 systems set up for testing to watch for this and no freezes after 100 hours so far. (see the "getting ready to return it" thread) He says he is going to contact users having the issue for their specs.

This is happening to me at least once per day, sometimes more and it is very disappointing and annoying, especially on top of knowing that the chipset is defective on this MB as well! It has happened while I was just surfing in Firefox a couple of times too. Windows just "freezes" - no BSOD's...

It just happened again while I was simply browsing with Firefox. Nothing else running except a couple desktop gadgets. This time though, my network remained up, unlike with the Intel LAN port. It just freezes solid, no BSOD or anything else. Mouse and keyboard both freeze right where...

Not that I have seen. Maybe a new thread should be started just about this problem. Its kind of buried in here. This has been happening once or twice daily for me on my P78P67 Deluxe. Just sitting at the desktop with sleep disabled it locks up and takes my network down with it. I never...
