Thanks for the reply KingOfsorroW. As owner of Asus P6T7, how does it overclock? With W3520 CPU and on water, is it possible to get for example; a 4.5 GHz easily with decent temps and Vcore? There is one thing holds me back about P6T7. There are no full waterblocks available for board.
If I go with E760 Classy, how will the PCI lanes be shared? There will be 3 GTX285 and 1 PCI Sound card. 16x/8x/8x and 1x?
Yeah, there are no waterblocks that I know of for this mobo, but at the same time I wouldn't say you would need one - it's known for its very efficient passive cooling heatsinks setup... I, personally don't need a waterblock - the heatsinks in my system are not getting hot, and some of them are barely warm during operation. But you have to have a good air circulation inside the case for the heatsinks to be that efficient. I do - so the result is like I say.Quote:

Well you won't get 7x16 all the time. You will be able to get 4x16. I have included the specs below but I ordered one of the p6t7 because with the beta bios it seems to be a winner with that many PCIE, minus the slight latency increase.
3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (@ x16 or x8)
3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (@ x8)
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (@ x16)
*4 x PCIe 2.0 x16 or 7 x PCIe 2.0 ( 6:@x8, 1:@x16)
Correct :D Only 4x16 and 3x8 while your at it :p:Quote:

Just make sure you don't use any of the black slots, so that you don't loose that 4x16 combination of the blue slots.
Either way, still this board fits right in with XS. Some might not like the latency but the PCIe alone...
Well Xmas was good P6T7, 3550 and 6gb of Patriot PC16000 ram. Board booted right up with BIOS 210, but complained about the cpu and I got a little worried when I saw 800 and 1066 settings only with a locked multiplier. Flashed to 504 with a nice assortment of memory settings and the CPU Turbo Power Limit setting, feeling better.
Sitting flat on my desk on the static bag, board was hot near 50c MB and 60c CPU (Stock Cooler & TIM), metal over the controller area was hot to the touch. Elevating the MB about a half inch, turning HT off and placing a small house fan on low near it brought the temps to 33c MB, 45c CPU with the metal still warm but reasonable. Hopefully will do a little better once the board is vertical.
Both video cables in the box were for green cards.
The CPU water block I ordered will be there when I get home from work and with four days off should have a pretty good idea of how the parts are going to work together.

I'll contact Duniek and ask ... or if you happen to read this post Mike: PLEASE, PLEASE can we show "it" off now? :DQuote:

I saw that picture on Duniek's Liquid Cooling Worklog 1.0 thread. I edited my post. I left a link to Duniek's thread. ;)Quote:

Hello,sir,where is it?I can't found it @ Asus web,can post the link for me? BTW,anybody can give me info for the X5550 on this board?I try it on this board,but totally can't overclock it,very sad.Quote:

For the price compared to the E760 Classified this seemed like the better bet for me. I have no use for all these PCI-E slots....yet. Probably never will. My idea behind getting this was it gives me a good platform to upgrade on for 3-4 years. I went 2 years on my trusty 780i so I see no reason this can't give me that kind of longevity. I really just like the idea of having as many full bandwidth PCI-E slots as possible. Now where are any good overclocking guides that pertain to this board....or are the standard ones sufficient for this? I can overclock a Core2 quite easily but this one seems like its going to take some learning.
Thanks.
Up,just bring up this thread.Don't let it fall down too deep.
Can someone reupload this bios?Quote:

Well I finally got it in and got everything together. I am really pleased with this board. Its hot but that was expected. I have it in an NZXT Tempest EVO so that keeps everything in check. Just playing around here the last day or so I managed 4.2ghz on my i7 920 with little effort and it seems like there is room for more. Now it just needs something more than my 9800GTX's....

I would post them but my board took a turn for the worst...one of the ethernet ports was not working. I was only using one and then I decided to start testing all the components to make sure nothing was dead. So I have since sent the board back for a replacement. I do remember I was somewhere around 1.3 vcore but thats all I remember off the top of my head. Sorry.Quote:

Could anyone post something about 0507 bios stability?
