New BIOS:

 

Please confirm if pll override is present in the UD3/UD3P/UD4/UD5 BIOS. UD7 doesn't have it.

- P67A-UD7 (F7): http://91.121.148.119/downloads/BIOS/p67aud7.f7 (no pll override)

1.7 final is bios with all fixes of the 1.7x beta series. The new 1.8A BIOS is newer than 1.7 final.

04. Add AP Controller internal CPU PLL OverVoltage Function.

05. Modify BCLK step value to 0.1MHz.

06. Update Internal PLL Overvoltage item code.

07. Add F1,F4,F5 hotkey Function in MainPage & SettingPage.

08. Add CPU Brand name in CPUZ.

09. Fixed get CPU BaseClk value error issue.

First encounter with SB here, a 2600K coupled with a p8p67pro.

Everything's fine until 5,3ghz, then I start to get the "AE" error: so I decided to raise the frequency from windows using TurboV.

The tool works fine with voltages etc, the problem is that it doesn't recognize the bclk frequency and it doesn't let me to set it.

I tried bioses 1253 and 1204, nothing changes.

Any idea?

So, 1.8b10 or 1.70 for GD65? which is better? :D

 

1.7 is the final BIOS with all fixes that were tested in bios 1.7B1 to 1.7B15 (theory). The 1.8B10 has the fixes that will go into 1.8 final. So, 1.8B10 should be 'better' if all the fixes in that BIOS are of course functional :)

 

1.8b10 came out today without any changelog so we can only test it first and report back.

 

Changelog for 1.8B10:

 

01. Fix BCLK OC retry function fail.

02. Modify the cpu Ratio can't change sometimes when Enabled the OC Genie Button.

03. Fix JMB 362C AHCI install OS issue.

04. Add AP Controller internal CPU PLL OverVoltage Function.

05. Modify BCLK step value to 0.1MHz.

06. Update Internal PLL Overvoltage item code.

07. Add F1,F4,F5 hotkey Function in MainPage & SettingPage.

08. Add CPU Brand name in CPUZ.

09. Fixed get CPU BaseClk value error issue.

 

P67A-UD3P (F6) p67aud3p.f6

 

Just tested, BIOS has no PLL Override!

 

Thanks for reporting!

 

 

Very bad news for Intel ... cancelling shipments means instant loss :-/

AE = you encountered the max of your CPU. Overclocking in Windows will not gain you anything :(

 

Can someone else confirm:

 

P67A-UD3P (F6) p67aud3p.f6

 

Has no PLL override? Or am I crazy?

 

Looks like none of the official GBT bioses have PLL override. I'm trying to get an answer why, but I feel it's got something to do with long-term damage.

Thanks Pieter, it sounds really weird... 5,3ghz 32M stable with less than 1,5v, and suddendly this wall?

We must try it@ln2, we'll see wether or not it's going past 5,3ghz... let's hope so. :|

Posted (edited)

Same thing with my, 5288mhz wall.. No matter what I try. Same on p8p67 and p67gd55.. but it could be even worst like 4.9 or 5.0.

Yip me too I had that for ages with the one CPU. Stuck on 5288MHz. Change of BIOS did help increase the frequency but only by a little. 5388MHz.

Posted

and did you guys put it under ln2 (not necessarily at -50°c, but for example at 0°c) to see if it maxes out its frequencies?

I think that having 50°c in idle at 1,5v could be a stability issue, that could be solved with our cold liquid friend :D

Posted

Tried from 10°C to -60°C.

 

-10°C = SuperPI-32M 2 loops stable

-6°C = SuperPI-32M 4 loops stable

-4°C = SuperPI-32M full stable

 

Could run at -50°C in OS. To boot, I needed higher than -20°C. No frequency gain whatsoever.

allright, thanks for the info.

Right now I'm doing 32M@5,3, bios 1253 is a little better than 1204 for me.

Later I'll post cpu batch in the other thread, since this one isn't still in the database :)

That is good news. But I doubt it will happen to me, becuse tryed It on gd55 with 3 bios versions and Asus p8p67. Even planed DICE ses. but I dont think that will bring any improvemet.

Guys, I found out what was wrong with TurboV: that tool needs Intel Management Components something, you can download it from asus website.

Hope that turns out to be useful for someone else.

Pieter, as you was saying, I was at 53x100 32M stable, 3dm01 stable etc... I went to 53x100,1 causing an instant freeze :(

Semi-confirmed.

 

The reason why the PLL override is not yet in the official BIOSes (F5, F6, F7, etc) is that they are still testing the effects of this option. I picked up some rumours about possible instability effects on long-term, although at the moment this is not confirmed and just under testing.

FWIW, for 24/7 use I've found the PLL override hurts stability. I have 4.8 GHz LinX stable at 1.344 Vcore (loaded) with it turned off. I left it on one time and it crashed while browsing of all things. Don't leave the option on for 24/7 operation unless you're really in need of over 5.0 GHz for 24/7 use. At some point though, that high of a clock for 24/7 operation (even my 4.8 GHz) is just silly.
