Sorry it took so long to reply school is killing me.
Anyway I know about the recall. I never saw any problems using the SATA 3.0G ports but I switched to the SATA 6.0G just incase. As for the problem I am having with Bluetooth. When ever I load the ath3k module I get the following
Code:Bluetooth: Atheros AR30xx firmware driver ver 1.0 ath3k_load_firmware: Can't change to loading configuration err ath3k: probe of 2-1.7:1.0 failed with error -5 usbcore: registered new interface driver ath3k

I have got my EMU-0202 working again on this configuration.
The problem was unrelated; when I removed pulseaudio (which was presumably opening the device as well) it works fine. Plugging into the 2.0 jacks works now that I remove pulse
It still doesn't work in the USB 3.0 busses. I see now that this is due to kernel bugs in 2.0 devices on USB 3.0, so it's an unrelated problem.
So, no problems specific to the ASUS p8P67 other than problems with USB 3.0 support for USB 2.0 devices.

Limiting CPU speeds
Originally posted by derekjw View Post...One thing to watch out for with this setup (I have the P8P67 as well): after I updated to the latest bios, the kernel thought that because it had the ability to fully overclock the processor to the limit, that it should. With the ondemand governor running, I was seeing my processor speed being bumped up to around 5500mhz (with the voltage automatically scaling as well). Setting each core separately in the bios fixed this for me, as the OS doesn't have control of the max speed with that setting.
In any case, it been has been completely stable no matter what crazy thing was going on, and for now I'm quite happy at 4500mhz with everything else at it's default setting in the bios. Speed and voltage scale down automatically to 1600mhz, something I haven't been able to do with any stability when overclocking other CPUs.
@derekjw I am currently trying a new approach: I leave the OC settings as is (per-core) but put this into /etc/rc.local:
Code:# bios is too permissive cpufreq-set --cpu 0 --max 4.70GHz cpufreq-set --cpu 1 --max 4.70GHz cpufreq-set --cpu 2 --max 4.70GHz cpufreq-set --cpu 3 --max 4.70GHz cpufreq-set --cpu 4 --max 4.70GHz cpufreq-set --cpu 5 --max 4.70GHz cpufreq-set --cpu 6 --max 4.70GHz cpufreq-set --cpu 7 --max 4.70GHz
Before I did this, I found that it would OC to 4.7 GHz but would occasionally set itself to 5.9 GHz, as you found. After I did this, I don't see the 5.9GHz number occur any more. It does still show up as a clock frequency that's available, and you can select it using the CPU frequency scaling monitor but I'm not sure whether those two situations actually do it or not.

I'm still seeing high temps (getting up to 90 degrees) when I run 8 copies of burnP6, but VCore does stabilize. So this probably indicates a TIM or cooler (both stock) problem rather than a software problem.
