p6t deluxe 1600 defaulting at 1033 solution

[G.SKILL]

I'm not sure if we test it in the way you mean
I set it with XMP in BIOS and open TurboV in Windows, but it still shows 1.5v in TurboV

please see the screenshot below:


Or did I get the wrong way?
thanks

dajupe,
They may not have loaded TurboV and/or don't know how to use it

your dram voltage is on auto which defaults the dram voltage to 1.8v. Please check turbov in vista when running i7940 on p6t deluxe. This has to be manually changed, which is the solution.

we checked with our ASUS P6T deluxe and F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ
but we couldn't duplicate this issue.....
we tried it with AUTO/XMP/Manual mode, all of them would not have memory voltage set to 1.8v automatically
our BIOS version is 0804
and here is our screenshot of bios setting:

with XMP:







with auto setting, the voltage is the same as XMP one
thanks

to G.S.
voltage defaults to 1.8v without telling you in bios when changing to 1600mhz. This is the problem i am solving! The only reason i saw this was in TurboV when i was actually (dangerously!) running vista. it defaults to this value without saying anything! qpi change was neccessary on my board.

normally, it does not need to increase QPI voltage while running at DDR3 1600 on X58
however, some motherboard or cpu may not be strong enough to run DDR3 1600
then you'll need to increase qpi voltage to help make it more stable

Was wondering, did you guys actually test this (now), Dajupe's post here was in part to help Far-cough from his post, in it You suggested to him to increase the QPI voltage, but here you say there is no need, sort of confusing, to one person you say increase it, to another (here) you say there is no need,

[G.SKILL]

to g.s. i have to correct some things.
you basically said what i said but forgot to mention the qpi/dram. i don't understand the point of your message. however this information should be more readily available by you guys.

please notice the different voltage

as for qpi voltage, it is not necessary to be changed while running DDR3 1600
thanks

GSkill,
Isn't your post what Dajupe said. Change from auto to 1600, and reset the voltage?

Far-Cough,
Not positive, but I think he means the voltage kicks up when you change to 1600 and then you have to lower it yourself and make the qpi/ram set to 1.333

what we correct is about the voltage
thanks

To far cough, am running bios version 302. Like tradesmen said. The default dram voltage increases from 1.5v to 1.8v when you manually change the memories frequency. MUST MANUALLY CHANGE the dram votage back to 1.5v! Also change the qpi/dram to 1.33v.
It sounds like you might have some other issues with memory though. Tell us how you go!

[dajupe]

To tradesmen not a problem, hope it helps!

dajupe,
Glad you did, and even more-so that you posted it.

[dajupe]

manually set timings too. forgot to put that in. really should be more info on this. i had to work it all out.
