ASUS P67 Deluxe - Auto OC ?

[tech960]

How many of you guys are using the Auto settings to OC your new i7 K series chips ?

Is this recommended ?

I'd be interested in this too. I've got the P8P67 Deluxe and can't figure this thing out.

My settings seem to be locked at 34x and bclk at 103. My setup seems to be running at 4.43ghz (43x) at 1.35v. I didn't do anything to the bios other than setup up RAID and AHCI.

Upgrade your Bios to the newest release if you haven't already guys. I have mine overclocked manually.

Also I am lost with these new settings.. DIGI + VRM

DIGI+ VRM CPU Current Capability
DIGI+ VRM Frequency
DIGI+ VRM Phase Control
DIGI+ VRM Duty Control

So far it looks like its cranked way down by default, I turned some of these up a bit but have no idea what they do.

Read the MANUAL

I've got the latest bios.

Still not sure how this thing works. Also, I've got 1.5v DDR3 1600 yet the bios lowers the speed to 1333.

Are you using the XMP setting?

Why would you do that?

You have to manually set the speed on the AI (I think that's it)...my DDR3 1333 was recognized as 1066.

I would be very careful because it adjusts the BCLK, which according to most folks here is a big no no with Sandy Bridge.

Are you doing this in the EFI (BIOS) thingey or using the ASUS Windows overclocking tool?

Yea I just noticed that, I put it back to 100. I did an auto and it put me up to about 4.4ghz, 30% OC. Temp still hasn't gone over 44c though. Lots of room to spare. This Xigmatek Aegir with a 2nd fan add on was well worth it.
