"CPU Over Voltage error" Asus P6T Deluxe + Intel i7 920

[ikwilhet]

Today, after 3 years, I have finally constructed my new pc.

Specs
* CoolerMaster M620
* Asus P6T Deluxe (firmware 1003)
* Core i7 920 (Boxed cooler)
* Asus HD4850 PCIe 512MB (Boxed cooler)
* KVR1333D3N9K3/6G 6GB PC3-10600 1333MHZ CL 9

When I boot my computer it shows me the message "CPU Over Voltage error (press F1 to continue)"

When I look at hardwaremonitor:
* CPU: 0.512V
* V3: 3.824V
* V5: 6.128V
* V12: 14.329V
* CPU Temp: 53C/127F
* MB Temp: 57C/134F

I have used the 8 pins connector next to 24 pins connector to connect to the motherboard.

Can somebody tell me what I'm missing here?
TIA!!

Your voltages are too high, The V5 is reporting 6.128v. The V12 is reporting 14.329.


Have you tried another power supply? Don't faulty power supplies cause numbers like that?

cpu overvolt error means your pushing too much voltage to soething...
And your cpu is getting too hot..

what is your bios voltage setting.. i need this picture:

* CPU Temp: 53C/127F
* MB Temp: 57C/134F

You need a new PSU STAT. RMA that one. Those rails are TOTALLY out of line.

If those are actual BIOS readings, I've actually never seen rails that high >.<

yeah... the guy b4 me said that..

He's definitely pushing too much voltage... and if his bios says AUTO for everything, yeah, his psu is probably bad.. :X

but i wanted to see what his bios settings were.. as the one i just showed is also from a p6T-deluxe.

All settings are at bios default. Most settings say AUTO.

I do have an additional question about my memory though, I have put in DDR3-1333/CL9 memory and in the bios it says it supports memory up to 1066 MHZ (without overclocking). Could this have an effect on these readings? A friend told me that DDR3-1333/CL9 memory is similar to DDR3-1066/CL7 memory, but how can this be?

 

[ikwilhet]

I have replaced the 620 Watt PSU (M620) with a 1000 Watt PSU from Coolermaster (M1000), I still have the same problems.
Actually I have more problems since now the PSU doesnt fit in my system, it is too deep so I have to adjust my case (Coolermaster ATCS 201).

I have just downloaded the latest Quality Vendor list for the P6T from the Asus website. The Kingston KVR1333D3N9K3/6G triple channel memory is on the list.
Asus has also released a new 1102 bios on their website, the release notes state "Improved Memory compatibility", I'm gonna try and install it tonight and see if it helps, I will put the results in this topic.

If not I am going to send the Motheboard and CPU back to the shop and ask for a replacement.

Did you set the "over volt" jumpers on the MB? I haven't played with them, but apparently they will let you force more volts. If you did, maybe you should undo that.


Also, is the RAM you have now 1.65 volt or old DDR3 with higher volts? THe old stuff will burn out your chip with too much voltage.

With the ASUS you have to turn on the XMP support to get the higher speed or else it defaults down to 1066.

Good luck!

 

[ikwilhet]

Everything is setup out of the box with firmware 1102 installed.
I have not turned on XMP, but do you really think that could cause these crazy voltage readings?

I just put everything back in the box and going to for a RMA

His PSU voltages are fine, software is always 100% wrong. If he really wanted to measure his PSU voltage he needs to purchase a Digital Multimeter.

Personally, I'd make sure I'm using the latest BIOS; then take every voltage control if possible off AUTO and manually set it to what the manufacture suggests for defaults and see if that helps. If it doesn't it would appear you have a bad motherboard and it would be time to RMA it to Asus or Return it to where you bought it from.
