I figured out the problem. For some strange reason, Windows installed a driver (Accusys 6xxx) for the PCI-PCI bridge! Once I uninstalled and deleted the driver from Driver Manager and rescanned devices, the JMicron SATA controller appeared (unknown). Then I was able to install the JMicron...

With my previous (B2) board, I was able to install the drivers and use the eSata ports. With my current B3 board, the JMicron controller is not visible to Windows. It is visible in the BIOS and I can see drives that are attached. Anyone else have the same problem? I did a completely new...

Link please.

Don't overclock beyond the point where you have to enable PLL Overvoltage. That should still get you to 4.6 GHz which is more than respectable.

Since it's possible to change the settings from Windows (via MEI), I would think that ASUS could write a driver/hook to downclock and disable PLL overvoltage prior to going to sleep, and restore the setting after waking back up. Just a thought.

I'm even closer to point of origin, but hope is out there. Mine arrived today, one day early. No rush for me though as I won't have time to swap it out before the weekend anyway. Oh, and thank you ASUS.

I got the MSI GTX560 Ti. It's based on the GF114 (GF104) Fermi chip and runs cooler than the 570. Also overclocked it is equal or better than the 570 for less power. And if you're interested in folding@home when not gaming, it generates many more points per day. My 560 is overclocked to 1000 MHz.

Those are capacitors. It's broken and the motherboard should be returned/replaced.

I will make sure to have several copies of BIOS on a USB Flash drive so that after swapping the motherboard I can reflash on initial boot up if necessary.

Who cares if it's collected on paper? Are people that averse to paper? What about, thanks Asus for allowing cross shipping and being one of the first (if not the first) mobo manufacturer to start offering this. It's very unlikely Asus (or any manufacturer) is prepared for such a mass...

Or patience. It seems to be in short supply, like the motherboards. Not a personal comment to you. :D

The heatsink should not obstruct the RAM, but the push fan will. Fortunately the push fan can be removed without having to remove the heatsink and it can also be moved up or down as needed depending on the size of the heatspreaders on the RAM.

Just because the HQ is in Taiwan does not mean that all work is performed there. It makes perfect sense to have a base of operations in Silicon Valley right near Intel and AMD.

This sounds like the same thing I'm observing. Mouse cursor moves but the windows don't respond. If I right click, the mouse cursor freezes. Something similar and possibly related is after initial boot, sometimes the GUI seems to freeze. I type CTRL-ALT-DEL and after a while I get a window...

Check your TPU switch and turn it off and see if that helps.

Slightly off topic, but I heard the two 6Gbps SATA3 Marvell ports on some boards (such as my P8P67 Deluxe) support port multipliers. A port multiplier that would expand one internal port to 4 SATA ports would be perfect for lower speed devices such as optical drives or 1.5Gbps/3Gbps hard drives.

Doesn't the LLC setting have to do with how aggressively the voltage is compensated as well? If you set it to Normal and set your own voltage, would it swing with the demands as aggressively as if you set it to Ultra High (i.e., by the number of phases it uses in the VRM controller)? I've got...

Maybe it's the CPU. Why was it on Ebay so soon after being released?

Does the case HDD LED flash faintly like a heartbeat even when the system seems otherwise idle? Anyone else see the same on their system? I noticed this flash even when Windows froze and was wondering if the motherboard is driving it for a particular purpose. I'd be interested to know what it...

Try raising VccSA by 0.025V; Per Intel spec, VccSA is good from 0.879V to 0.971V. Typical is 0.925V. I raised mine to 0.95V and was able to lower my DRAM voltage to 1.575V (from 1.6V). See http://download.intel.com/design/processor/datashts/324641.pdf page 80. All the docs are here...

Feeling a mild case of entitlement? For one customer like you, I'm sure there are plenty more who understand what is fair value.

Yep, both IntelBurnTest and Prime95 will drive the CPU temps up. But what I've found is that once those loads are turned off, that's when most stability issues arise. Seems the CPU is happy running at full load, but unless the VRM can respond quickly to the core's changing demands, you'll likely...

The P6 chipset issues were not known at the time JJ's post was made. What's with all the trolls on this board? I have had great success with my P8P67 Deluxe and would highly recommend it to others. In fact, a friend of mine picked up the same board based on my success and he loves his too.

What difference does it make who makes an announcement first. Intel will make good to anyone who has the faulty chip. Period. End of story.

Dude, I'll have what you're smoking. :D

It's getting something for nothing. The retailers will send the boards back to the manufacturers. They in turn will likely need to prove and be audited on how many faulty chips they had and destroyed to claim their compensation from Intel. That's why it's called a recall. There are financial...

I think people are overreacting. Intel had to disclose this to the OEMs that are building systems that might potentially be affected as well as to stockholders. But the impact is not as significant as people are making it out to be. If your board turns out to have this issue, then you will have...

Only if Intel pays the motherboard manufacturer to ship you a free board. Otherwise I think someone loses.

I wonder if they degrade independently? So if after a while one starts to degrade, can you switch ports and keep using it for a while longer.

I'll hold on to mine, at least for now. It's running fine. I'll likely move the front panel eSATA port and SATA dock to the Marvell controller. I'll keep the DVD drive on the 3 Gbps port for now. If this affects only the 3 Gbps ports, one solution might be to have an option for vendors to...

I'm wondering how many people experiencing problems with their boards have fried them with ESD. Especially if you're in the cold northeast where build up of static electricity in the winter is more common. Please take precautions. I am fortunate to have an anti-static mat, grounded myself, and...

Intel's P67 chipset has an on board SATA-3 (6G) controller. I've got my C300 plugged in and it works great.

Usually up to 4.6GHz, but I think it really depends on each chip.

I've increased my OC to 4.7 GHz, CPU voltage offset +0.025V and PLL overvoltage enabled. Also changed DDR3 timing to 8-8-8-24-1T @ 1600MHz. So far so good.

@jasona, can you try running long tests with one stick at a time to see if one of yours is faulty or doesn't meet the stated specs?

i7-2600k @ 4.5GHz Corsair XMS3 8GB (4x2GB - 2 pairs of matched sticks), 1600MHz @ 8-8-8-24-2T (haven't tweaked the settings yet) BIOS - 1204 AI OC - Manual Turbo Ratio - All cores; 48 PLL overvoltage - Disabled DRAM Freq - 1600 LLC - Ultra High VRM Freq - Manual; 350 Phase Control -...

Ok, I looked at the Gigabyte website and got a close up look at the board. The PCIEX4 slot looks like a full x16 lane slot with only x8 lanes worth of contacts. What I didn't mention in my previous post was that I believe motherboard manufacturers add crosspoint switches (think of them as...

Could this 'flood of threads' just be an artifact of very public support for these boards? How many other vendor's users have such a public forum to voice their problems and get help? Also, the poll isn't clear whether the problems occur at stock (not overclocked) speeds? By its very nature...

With Sandy Bridge, the CPU has a PCI Express controller capable of (x16 or two x8) @ 5 GHz. For P67 chipsets, this will usually be the GPU cards and will be two (x16) PCIe connectors on the board. The Northbridge, in this case P67, will then have the remaining PCIe controller(s). Some of the...

I'm very happy with my P8P67 Deluxe and when I found that it's actively supported on this forum, I immediately signed up!
