I noticed this header too and initially plugged one of my CPU fans to CPU_FAN and the other to CPU_FAN_OPT. Then I re-read the manual, I think CPU_FAN_OPT is a monitored fan in BIOS but it is not a controllable fan by FAN Xpert. The only ones that are controllable are CPU_FAN, CHA_FAN1 and...

Did you keep the 3.5" SATA III USB add-on for your case, or did you send that back with your old board?

Are they still giving out free earbuds with the RMA? Do we need to send back all the accessories?

++++++1 Why hasn't there been a resolution for this problem?

update: Well, colour me surprised! I called Seagate support to confirm if the RMA request I submitted is valid and they assured me that yes, physical damage of this sort is still covered under warranty. She said they replace damage like this all the time, such as external drives where the usb...

Anyone considering holding out on the swap in order to return and get a Z68 when yhey come out? The store I bought from told me I shouldn't have problems returning the board later as it is considered defective merchandise. I just worry they may re-neg on that offer down the road

Ya you know what that's what I've done. I didn't need to glue the piece back in order to access the data, so quickly imaged it to a partition on another drive. The only reason I'd glue it back on is if I wanted to be cheap and take the risk that I can stretch out the drive longer.

Well since the drive worked without the piece glued back in I'm pretty sure I could glue it to ensure a more snug fit. I would just be paranoid that my drive could fail at any minute. Maybe I'll backup more frequently. :P

Okay I made a big boo-boo the other day and broke the plastic around the SATA connector of my 1Gb Seagate 7200.12 drive. Luckily the pins were still intact and my motherboard came with latching SATA cables which made the drive still readable. I immediately backed up the drive and am wondering...

I did the same, got an RMA # with ASUS but have also been in contact with my retailer ++++. Either way I hope I'll be covered. Move all my drives to the SATA3 ports, only have optical drives on the SATA2 ones so I feel pretty safe.

Yes, it allows you to overclock your CPU like the P67 while using the on-die GPU like the H67. So P67 + H67 = Z68

I hope so too. With them claiming it is defective merchandise, I would think that means you can return it anytime for full money back, then buy whatever you want. I really hope this happens.

This is what a rep from N.C.I.X emailed me: Me: Bought an asus p8p67 deluxe board on Jan 12. Will I be able toexchange my board for a new Z68 board when they are released? I'll pay the difference. N.C.I.X: The exchange would be treated as "defective merchandise" (so no restocking fees...

++++++++++++1 Hopefully Asus is keeping watch of this thread and will seriously consider this. Or perhaps my etailer, ++++.

Disabling Internal PLL Overvolt solved my sleep/resume problems, but now I can't get a stable overclock. Before I was 8 hr prime 95 stable on my 2600K @ 100x46 and 1.340V. Now I'm testing up to 1.390V but it seems to crash in under an hour. update: okay I'm 8 hr Prime 95 stable at 1.390 V...

Is this the driver in Windows Update that I should avoid installing?

Does anyone else have problems resuming from standby with this board? I just did a clean windows 7 install and don't know what could be causing my problem. Computer will go to sleep but crashes on resume (just see a black screen) and I have to hold down the power button to shut down then restart...

Great guide! With the new 1253 bios I am able to push my 2600k to 101x48 on 1.415 V. I may try lowering my voltage tho as running prime95 for 45 mins brings my temps up to 85 degrees. That's definitely too high, right? I'm using all the settings as shown in the second post. I have a hyper 212+...

[smacks head] I solved my problem, for some reason it was the 1053 Beta BIOS. As soon as I flashed back to 1003 official, I could bump VCore to 1.4 and heat 4.8Ghz easy. Only thing is my temps are pretty high, on load it's in the low 80's°C

I must be doing something wrong because no matter what VCore I set, it always goes to 1.248 V on load. Same with the BCLK, I can set it at 105 in BIOS but in then in CPU-Z it always shows as 100. Because of this strange phenomenon, I can't get my system any faster than 44 x 100. I've tried...

Thanks, so should I leave the stock fan where it is (behind the cooler in push mode) and the SFlex fan on the other side pulling? Also can I plug the 2nd fan onto my boards PWR_FAN connector so Q-Fan and FanXpert can adjust the fan speed?

I think you only need 1.65 if that's what your memory is rated for. Otherwise set it to 1.5. My question is how come whatever voltage I set in bios, CPU-Z 1.2.6.5 always reports 1.248 volts? Is it just a bug in the beta version? Posted via [H] Mobile Device

I do have two new sflex sff21f case fans, I could move one to the 212. So I'll leave one case fan blowing out the back of my case, but which side should I put the sflex on the 212? I read that one has to be stronger than the other but not sure which one.

I seem to be having trouble overclocking my i7-2600K on an ASUS P8P67 Deluxe. I'm running the 1053 beta bios and I'm confused about the difference between the bios OC Turbo feature and the windows AI Suite II Auto-Tune program. In bios, the oc turbo gives me a turbo overclock of 43x103, but the...

Please re-read my original post. Carefully.

The problems just happened after I upgraded my CPU, mobo, and RAM. If it's a RAM problem I guess I could remove one stick and try that, I also think my new ASUS P8P67 Deluxe mobo has some EFI BIOS memtest feature. I can't actually boot into Windows 7 anymore to run any of those tools, but I...

hmmm that's actually not the same STOP message I'm getting. My exact BSOD is: Other suggestions I've read are I may have the TDSS virus. Also that I should run a clean install of Windows 7 after any major hardware upgrade as this. But I think that's BS, I've never done a clean install after...

I just upgraded my system from an old Q6600 to i7-2600K, replacing motherboard, CPU, CPU cooler, and RAM, and now my Windows 7 system won't boot. I get a BSOD after the Windows logo, general error message that says STOP: 0x0000007B. I then tried to boot into safe mode but it crashes loading...

Unfortunately the opteron 165 multiplier is locked at max 9x. I can run it at 9x295 and underclock memory at DDR145, or i can drop fsb to 9x220 and over clock my memory to DDR440. What do you guys think is better?

Hmmm for some reason your links aren't working Silverfox

The more I read about things, I think I might have to wait for mid-2011 to upgrade so I can see what the Z68 platform has to offer. I want to OC like with P67 but want to make use of the on die GPU like the H67. I can't believe Intel is not offering both solutions right off the bat. If I only...

Thanks Flopper. Can you explain to me what 1600 mhz means for the memory, since from my understanding you can't overclock the base clock on SB systems. Will the DDR3 memory actually run at 1600 Mhz or only under certain conditions? I'm also uncertain now if I should be getting a P67 board to...

Looking into building a Sandy Bridge system with an i7-2600K and Asus P8P67 Pro board. My main uses are video encoding, I don't play any PC games. How much DDR3 should I be looking at and what speeds do I need if I want to overclock? I'm definitely on a budget so I'm looking for a "best bang...

Hey guys, I'm working with my old Opteron 165 system that I've donated to my parents and am trying to overclock it. Here's my steup: Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium CPU: Opteron 165 (stepping 2, revision JH9-E6) CPU cooler: arctic cooling freezer pro 64 Memory: 2 x 1GB OCZ Platinum...

Have any of you guys looked at the Gigabyte P67/H67 lineup? There's a thread over at xtremesystems: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=261996 I think they claim they are the first motherboard to support full iPad charging. For that reason alone I might consider this...

I am a bit confused about the on die gpu part. Do I need a specific mono for this? I read the h67 supports on die gpu but p67 does not

I don't do any gaming anymore on my PC, just video/audio encoding. So I'm wondering if the 2500k would be a better fit for me, so long as it's significantly cheaper than then2600k and can oc well

I too will be upgrading from q6600 and can't wait! Just wondering what you guys think of 2600k vs 2500k? If the 2500k is a lot cheaper I might be looking at that. And basically everyone here is looking at the K chips because of the unlocked multiplier, correct?

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Guess I'll hold off on the upgrade for now. I love OC'ing but I almost dread upgrading, I usually do it every 2-3 years. After being away from CPUs and mobos, I find I'm back to square one and need to read up on core i5/i7. Looks like the i5 760 is a well...

Thanks for the tips. I don't think I'm ready to sell my rig to get a new mobo/cpu/ram because honestly it takes too much time to research and figure out how to overclock a new setup. I think I'll take the advice here and looks to OC my chip some more. My system wasn't stable at 9x405 so I had...
