BIOS 72 Updates:

• Now CPU multiplier can be adjusted with Turbo offset

---

CD/DVD Installation - Recommended installation method

• Download the correct .zip file below for your motherboard:

         160-LF-E659-KR - EVGA P55 Classified
         141-LF-E658-KR - EVGA P55 FTW 200
         132-LF-E657-KR - EVGA P55 FTW
         132-LF-E655-KR - EVGA P55
         123-LF-E653-KR - EVGA P55 LE
         121-LF-E652-KR - EVGA P55 Micro

• First go into your BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
• Go into the folder where you unzipped this package and run the appropriate batch file.
  • For Windows XP, Vista or 7 32Bit: AFUWIN32.BAT
  • For Windows XP, Vista or 7 64Bit: AFUWIN64.BAT
  • If in DOS Mode: AFUDOS.BAT
• Press Y in CAPITAL LETTERS to start the flash process
• DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE FLASH PROCESS
• After the flashing is finished, shut down the computer. Then power on again and go into BIOS, Load Defaults, Save and Exit.

Warning:
**Do not restart or interrupt your PC while the flash is ongoing
**Do not Flash BIOS on overclocked settings
**It is always recommended to power-down after flash and Clear CMOS

Dang it, I missed 71!

 
 
ISSUE
 
BIOS PROFILE DOES NOT SAVE Turbo Ratio Limit Program settings.
 
When saving OC settings to any BIOS profile the one thing that it will not recall is the Turbo Ratio Limit Program Enabled / Disabled setting or the Core Ratio Limit offset.
 
I had this same issue in BIOS 71.
 
Can someone else confirm this issue…

So.. I'll never understand why the turbo-ocing should be so nice.. 
I only want 4,4 GHz with 133 MHz x 33..  on 4/8 cores
but, with A71 or A72 .. it wont work correct.

So far .. so good, but when I start Linx .. Linx startet and never finished.. E-leet shows me 4,4 .. but the temps are @ idle - the cores are between 2-8 % .. not 100% like with this: 
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1414057
 
What's going on here?

Please give us an example of your settings.. 
want to see, why you love evga for that BIOS.. 
I want to understand it.. 

that means it CRASHED to high of a OC
 
That's what I thought too, but Linx is still running?
I'm using the gadget ALL CPU METER for the cores..  they show me 2-5% while Linx is running
Whit 4,27 no problem.. need more vcore?

I will check it tomorrow @thegcpu... in Germany is late now.. ;)
Are you using "with vdroop"?

This one is on a intel basic board...

Linx is still counting the seconds.. so it's running.. it seems to.
But ok, I think so.. it's chrashed, but not the normal way.
K-Boost must be disabled, or you have to set the multi in e-leet, because that's working nice.. but not from the bios.. only with e-leet.
So.. is "No Vdroop" - "with vdroop" or "without vdroop" ???
Thx

No Vdroop is the setting "Without Vdroop".

VDroop is within Intel specs for the processor on load, voltage go down.
What EVGA say is: "With VDroop" = Following Intel specs, voltage go down.
When you put Without VDroop it's the same as Enabling Load Line Calibration on other motherboards. The motherboard will keep your VCore stable with what you've set it on BIOS.

Hi Guys,
I have the EVGA P-55 FTW Bios 72 and the i7 875k processor along with 8GB of Gskill DDR3 2000 4X2GB. I am using a Danger Den pump and block for the cpu with a Thermaltake Bigwater SE reservoir and radiator. The system uses 1/4" tubing (Small but left over from a thermaltake Bigwater SE cooling kit) Could someone suggest settings for a moderate overclock? Setting per setting or photos of bios settings would be great if possible as I am fairly new to overclocking.
 
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Works for me. Classified 200.
