My ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer is here...

I was a little worried about the heat before i bought this board and as it turns out theres absolutely no heat issues with this board ,every thing is running cool, I'm very happy with this board.

Running 2X GTX295's in sli enabled mode ,with an asus D2x pcie sound card,and the 975EE 150Gig x2 raptors in raid0 all at stock settings ,i got 3k higher score than my
p6tv2, , with the same configuration ,for me thats a huge difference starting off!!

The board layout has changed ,the nb,sb, and 2x nf200 are under a huge copper heatsink with a metal plate on top away from the CPU,that only barely gets warm to the touch at load. I'm very happy with this board so far. The only thing is asus skimped out with a realtek lan .

I'm having difficulty uploading pics here , i have more but only accepts 600x600, got to resize everything.

You have a 975EE at stock settings and you actually said that here on XS?
Do you want me to delete this thread before people actually see that?

[billdavis]

yeah im grinding my teeth bro

[ILikeCosmosS]

only 2 295s are you nuts

get your self 7(if i am correct on pcie slots) single pcb 295s watercooled and start folding

lol, i just got it today just felling out the mobo before i start juicing it ,relax.

I vote: 15 days ban!!... Wait!..... Only 2 pics?!.. Make it 20 days ban!

Debating this vs the P6T6 Rev...

Temps were a concern, but you won't really know if it stays cool till you start to push it at least some.

[Anemone]

Bet these all come with the B3 chipset update.

Yeah your right , but I'm not the type to rush in and blast it right away, I just installed win64 setting everything up, backing up drives ,letting the thermal paste set in,playing couple of games, little burn in.

I'm sure movieman will chime in and bust my balls a little more.

Anyway I'm tempted to pop off the heat sink to check the stepping ,or find out some other way,either way ill find out .

Just checked and can confirm its the B3 chipset!!

MM does bust folks up - but he does it with a smile and a smack on the back, so it's all good. Can't tell you the number of times he's broken up heated fights by reminding us what the real important things are in life.

More and more I'm leaning to the P6T7. I like the blue anodized sinks on the revolution, but looks do not change the usefulness of the P6T7. USB 3.0 can be added via card. Intel LAN via a $30 card as well (btw - you might consider this if you don't want the Realtek stuff). Even SATA 3.0 could be added if you needed, or sound. There are a number of things that can all be dropped in, as long as you have the slots open to do it. Sure, the 200's add latency, but not tons, and most of these add in devices aren't going to care if the 200's are doing switching behind the scenes. I'm not positive that's true of the sound card which is more latency sensitive, but we'll see on that.

Thanks for letting us know how things are goin.

Indeed.

Just a Little OC...of the CPU only just to get a feel of the board, ht on , turbo off and my temps are cooler than what i thought they would be. The board
under volts a tad, 1.320vcore (on load) for almost 4.2 gigs with temps of only 36c On air!!. this board is very stable. Also, I didn't juice my video cards yet but ill get to it later on .Well I'm very happy with this board so far and if i had to do it again i would definitely buy it again!! couple pics of my rig too.

Can you post the NB/chipset temps? I'm really close to pulling the trigger on this board but I want to know how well the board cooling works.

Well in the bios the mobo temp is 36c , but as far as the NB there seems to be no reading on it in bios , i did touch it with my hand and it was barely warm to the touch. To know for sure i would need to put a temp probe on the sink. I'm not sure if theres a sensor in the NB like the RIIE , but when i had the RIIE i remember the NB sink was hot to the touch .

Anyone know of any utilities sofware for the NB temps??

Nice Setup....... Enjoy

Download Everest. I think they have a free demo version. I'm really anxious to pull the trigger on this board but I'm worried about the cooling solution. But hey, if it works, who am I do judge. Doesn't matter if the NB gets hot as long as that cooling solution is able to dissipate the heat efficiently.

I'm curious how hot the NB/chipset gets when running 4Ghz on the CPU and whether that cooling solution is able to keep it cool enough. Would like to use this in a 24/7 4Ghz.

Watercooling that sucker would be a b*tch though..O_o.... I don't even think a one piece block like the EK Classified block would be possible. You'd need a whole bunch of little blocks thanks to the two NF200's

then ask me why I love this forum

Just checked and can confirm its the B3 chipset!!

check CPU-Z and Everest they Display B2 Stepping

[nge769]

Yeah i know everest and CPU's says b2 and Sandra says b3 , so like i said popping off heat sink (its a big sink)is probably only way to confirm.

BTW, i see you have this board also, how do you like it?did you find out the temps on NB?

Just Install Mine......... And Loving It

Congrats and welcome to the club , Its a nice board and is rock solid for me so far and love the layout.
I like the way they moved the chipset away from the CPU to make room for the 7 pcie slots . My 1st video card is a lot cooler becuase of it.

new Everest Version that fully supports p6t7
