Bios Settings - Asus P6T Deluxe V2 - F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ

[Aswex]

Hello,

this is my first post - ) I did search on the site, but I didn?t find anything that could feet my needs.

I am wondering if someone will be able to give me the bios settings options to use the F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ ( 3X2Go ) with the board Asus P6T Deluxe V2 ?

Thanks

Ensure you have the latest BIOS, then install sticks in proper slots per manual, go to BIOS enable XMP and select 1600 profile

hello,

i have p6t dlx v2 (bios 1202) with f3-12800cl9t-6gbnq (x2) and for me, XMP profile is not enough, i need to do following changes to work :


ai overclocking tuner : manual
cpu ratio setting : 21
intel speed step : disabled
bclk : 133
dram : ddr3-1600
vclk : 3200
qpi : auto
---
qpi/dram core voltage : 1.50v
dram bus voltage : 1.60v
load line calibration : disabled

(values taken here in this forum)


but i have a question : is it normal to have different values with same memory like my screenshot at SPD informations ?



waiting your answer ...

First, on the XMP issue, you did the correct thing, XMP works by the set, since you have two sets, XMP won't work correctly and needs to be done manually as you have done.

Next, your question on the DRAM, my guess is the sets were bought at different times, though it is possible that they were bought at the same time, what you are seeing is the section of the SPD that shows the default boot set up timings, these 1600 NQs came out with a default of 1333 since all mobos have a default boot speed which awhile back was 1333, as more mobos upped the default to 1600, the SPD was rewritten to use 1600 as a default....this is the identifier you will find showing in CPU-Z under the SPD tab as MAX BANDWIDTH, which generally is always prefixed with the 'PC3'. The sticks themselves are the same and programmed to XMP standards with the exception of the default boot programming.

And as a note: Memtest is really designed to test for 1 stick at a time, so if you ever run into errors running multiple sticks..try them one and a time, just having multiple sticks can in of itself create errors

[Nathalia]

yes, the first set was bought there is one year or more and second set just one month. so, for you this is not a problem of memory sticks and all work at 1600 if i understand correctly.

memtest has encountered no error (only one pass).

[Tradesman]

Yes, it should be no problem.

thank you for the replies.

Aswex,

Like Tradesman said, you can enable XMP in BIOS so the motherboard can automatically detect and configure settings, or you can manually input DRAM Frequency, timings, and voltage. Once that is done, everything will be ready to go.

If you have problems, feel free to let us know.

Thank you

Hello all

I'm new here so please bear with me if this sounds silly but... here goes:

I've owned since bought my Pc a F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ (2Gx3) RAM kitt.
It has always worked ok with my MB Asus P6T Deluxe V2 when had only 6Gb and the orange banks in usage.

This RAM kit is about 3 years old.

Fairly recently I decided to boost my RAM up so bought another RAM kit just like the above, but cannot get the mobo to detect all 12Gb. Only shows 8Gb on the BIOS and on the computer properties no matter what I try.

The only difference between the kits is that the eldest one has voltage indication of 1.5v - 1.6v and the new one shows only 1.5v. Is this the problem?

Really cannot get around this setting and configuration no matter what I try. I have swapped them around from slot to slot but the outcome was always the same: 8Gb.

I have updated my BIOS to the latest version - 1202 - still to no avail.
Have been in BIOS about 100 times since yesterday (when bought this set) and have experimented with loads of configurations, voltages, etc) and nothing seems to work!

I thought I found gold when read the above but that does not work either. XMP profile or Nathalia's tweaking had no effect what so ever.

Can you please help me? Beginning to panic here...

Thank you!

Mixing sets can be problematic of itself and XMP won't work with mixed sets, so, would suggest raising DRAM voltage to 1.6- 1.63 or so and will need to raise MC (Memory Controller) voltage for the additional sticks,, believe it's QPIVTT on your mobo, add + .1 to the voltage there and try that
