6x PCI-E x16 Slots!

  • x16 PCI-E Slot #1 = x16 or x8
  • x16 PCI-E Slot #2 = x8
  • x16 PCI-E Slot #3 = x16 or x8
  • x16 PCI-E Slot #4 = x8
  • x16 PCI-E Slot #5 = x16
  • x16 PCI-E Slot #6 = x4

Max BCLK Testing continued...​
7 days ago, tried my first attempt at max bclk on i7 920 3836A756 C0 #2 cpu, and got to around 228bclk validation but no 32M Pi stability. Now after trial and error testing of bios settings and voltages, managed to pull off 230 bclk validation and 225.8 bclk for Super Pi 32M.

Asus TurboV windows app was pretty useful for testing different voltages within windows for Super Pi 32M. I used TurboV in conjunction with setFSB to start with 220 bclk boot from bios into windows and setFSB to 223 bclk for 32M Pi. Then after figuring out voltages tried 225 bclk boot from bios into windows and passed 32M Pi at 225 and 226 bclk.

220 bclk boot from bios, 32M Pi passed @220bclk, setFSB to 221bclk, 222bclk, and 223bclk.

225bclk boot from bios, 32M Pi passed @225bclk and setFSB to 226bclk.

PCI-E Frequency = 110mhz for all above tests.

More tests to come ;)

Okay, maybe I'm being slow here, but I thought all the Core i7 (except Extreme Edition) were multiplier locked. The 920 multipler is 20 (21 with Turbo Boost?). So, how are you achieving a multiplier of 17?
 
You can go down on the multiplier but not up.

Congrats on the overclock by the way 230 is pretty high!

I just picked up a P6T6 today myself and I am very impressed for the $250 I paid for it! (Open box). All 6 of my DIMMs work just fine and I wasn't expecting them too since they are not on the approved list from ASUS (some Mushkin DDR3-1600 1GB DIMMs). Currently my computer is at 3.8GHz (190x20) changing just the DRAM voltage and the QPI voltage (the CPU voltage is at auto right now only because I am not sure what I should put it at... I am fairly new to manual overclocking of i7s). I'm currently in Linux so I don't believe CPUz would work.

That CPU is being mistreated by having the 8800 GT in there ;).

yeah will try other GPUs in there soon :)

locked upwards only so you get full selection up to 21 including the turbo multi for i7 920/940/950/960 and w3520/w3540 xeon processors. i7 965/975 and xeon 3570/3580 are fully unlocked for cpu multipliers.

thanks.. yes i'm liking the board so far just wish it had more voltages and temps in monitoring section of bios/pcprobe as was suprised it only reports cpu/mb temps and vcore and psu rail voltages - no qpi/dram/cpu vtt, vdimm, ioh, ich voltages reported!
 
Yeah, I'm using Ubuntu right now, and I'm getting 0 temperatures from the motherboard. I'm sure that's probably a Linux compatibility thing, but now that you say there aren't many temperature sensors either I guess it's not too surprising.
