It seems the Asus 400.00 MB does not play well with the 980X....Drops the multi to 25 no matter what you set if you stress the cpu at all....

I am thinking this is more than a bios update....

I was waiting on the R3E but have decided to go with the E760....

Hope then i will be able to see what the 980X can do....

I didn't drop 1K to use my 25 multi....

Sorry to hear that, but the 760 is pure win, you will love it!

[HITandRUN]

760 it is!

thanks for sharing LS, bios update doesn't fix it?

they did an update for the Gulftown...

At first i thought i had a bad chip...anytime I did a stress like linX or prime95 I could see the multi dropping to 26 or 25 depending on the stress....

I then saw on the Asus site and XS where people were raising he11 about it....
Then on XS the Asus guy came on and said they were going to get the engineers involved....

This is not the case with the rampage and others..also I saw where Eva from I4 was having the same problem with his P6T6 but was able to stop it by exiting Turbo mode..I have never used that....

if you leave it on a 25 multi you can go for it but i would like to have the option.....

It is time anyway....In reality, I don't think the P6T7's true design was for extreme OCing..That is prolly why no nb/sb water block...

The board was sent to me for testing the xeon chips...I think..I really forget....

This will be a learning curve for me....I know i can find the help i need here..

I do need to try to understand the EVGA bios updating....with Asus it was just a click..Put it on a usb and in bios there was a tool for it..EZ Flash....

I think I am going to have to burn a CD with some type of ISO program with the evga..

I will order it soon....

Flashing the bios on the CLassy is easy, http://www.evga.com/forumsarchive/tm.asp?m=671353

Thanks Bud!! I will get to know it....Do you prefer the usb over a CD for this???

[Dentlord]

I like the CD only because I had a corrupt flash from usb once and it left a bad taste ... have used usb many other times with no problems but it only takes once lol

Wasnt the p6 WS the ones that had troubles with OCP dropping multis on the 920 back in the day as well?

(Some guy developed a program to determine actual multiplier running while stressing and finding it was not =ing 21x when 21x was set...)

[lakeside2189]

Just ordered the E760....Ordered it with some special parts for cooling....some microsinks and chipsinks . also ordered the full EK block for sb/nb..

Will be first day at school....First time in 6 years I stepped outside Asus for MB's....I'm sure the kin will get over it....I am still more than happy to run there GPU's......My neices Husband (Asus rep) told me i would be making a big mistake not waiting on the R3E...Well, I have a second set-up all ready to go....Just needs a MB and some GPU's....

I'm guessing it will be class 101 for the bios after all the years of Asus.....

I'm sure I will "come a calling soon"......

after all, I am a member in good standing of the number 1 team in the US.. Where better to learn the EVGA ways..(I actually said that)
