ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS - Dual Socket 2011

[Movieman]

damn just how long are we looking at ? how naive of me dreaming of haswell-ep

at this pace amd will catch up.. more like arm will catch up

It might be be March or maybe June-July..

It might be be March or maybe June-July..

i take it this year.. cause when i upgrade from s1366 it will be nothing less than dual s2011 never ever again single cpu

any new dual s2011 mobo/s coming this year from asus evga ?

btw thanx appreciated

beware of MovieMan PM

last time I got a PM from got a dual 2011 with two E5 32gb of ram and bunch of things I did not need xD

Now hold on a minute here.. I put Leviathan in touch with a guy who gave him the deal of the century, all new stuff and and a good grand off of retail..
I rest my case!

ooohhhhpppffzzzzz..... get a room you two!!!!! and take this thread along with you.... all this free stuff makes me sick.

Yea, but you got a hell of a deal on those from what I heard!

indeed i did

Sorry for the necro post, but seemed the best place. Has anyone got PCI Express v3.0 working w/ graphics cards on this board? the GTX670's that I have work fine in 2.0 mode, but am looking at getting a 3rd or replacing them with the 7xx series (or if I can hold off even the 8xx ones) but may need to look at a different board if I'm going to be stuck at v2 link training.

Just looking for a confirmation that it /does/ work and if possible with what cards or what needed to be done if anything.

getting 2 760 thursday I will check for you to see how mine fares

What's going on in here? I just got two of these boards for two different sets of CPUs, what's up?

[Russian]

I was reading some of the Newegg reviews about things not working, but the damn thing booted perfectly from first boot... running like a champ.

[stevecs]

The board from a cpu point of view works fine besides the fact that I can only run at 105 BCLK. The only 'issues' I've seen are just two. 1) none of my GTX670 cards are showing up w/ PCIe v3 training which could be due to the cards which is why I was looking for confirmation on that. And 2) when I have a powered USB 3.0 hub plugged into the system the usb 2.0 ports (where keyboard/mouse are tied) don't get power until after the bios loading (actually until the usb driver is loaded in windows). which I've got an old ps/2 workaround for that in the interrim until I can figure out what's going on.

the PCIe v3 is much more critical to make sure it's supported as I'm looking to upgrade to the maxwell cards when they come out and will need the bandwidth for a 12 or 24MP display system.

guys is there going to be a new revision of this motherboard for ivys.. i know it supports v2 ib-ep but going by the specs and notes it sounds like there should be a revision for the new ivys.. anything on that ? is this going to be the only dual s2011 till haswell-ep besides tyan/supermicro ?

[stevecs]

I haven't heard anything about a new revision in any of the communications I've had w/ asus concerning the PCI v2 -> v3 issues. Would be interested if there was but I kind of doubt it. workstation motherboards generally are pretty static. I've got the V2 CPU's in the current board now (E5-2643 V2's) and they worked without a problem right from 5103, and I see that 5206 bios adds support for the rest of the V2 lineup.

[NapalmV5]

thanks man.. did you get ram into the 2xxxs on the v2s ?

so the board was released what almost 2 years ago then again ib-ep just 2 months recent - should i wait till next year - i could wait forever

Supermicro X9DAX-iF
Working 107.55BCLK at 100% load with the top E5-2697 V2 12 cores
Memory at 2007
Need I say more?

[kuroikenshi]

^^ Yes you do!


how are you Dave? I was under the impression you were very ill.

@NapalmV5 - I'm using ECC ram here so kind of limited as to what i can really push it. And with 2x4channel memory I haven't really seen any big issues where pushing it was really needed. That being said, I have noticed that the v5206 bios does seem to let me get a bit higher with BCLK, I haven't really stress tested it yet but am getting better than the 105BCLK that I was stuck at before. Will have to see what I can push it to.

@Movieman - Yes, the supermicro boards were in my lineup for a long while but I just hate that it can't do more than just 2 cards in SLI. If they would get their boards certified for quad sli then would have probabaly gone with them.

whats up with the lower ram clock on these ivys? should be speced and clock higher than sb-ep

[felix_w]

4x 1.xx Kw PSU's ? Isn't that too much ? I'm just asking

[NapalmV5]

its not about x number of wattage to power up the system

why i have 4x ax1200i - silence - keep fan at zero rpm even at full load so i spread the load across



zm1350 theres no other better choice to go with other than zm1350 to power the mobo i cant rely solely on the mobo and psu to run voltages amok

next week after ill have it up running ill decide how soon ill go liquid cooling on the system.. again silence!

Nice purchase, I thought about the 2687W V2's as well, but went with the 2643V2's for the higher starting clock since I figured it would be harder to push the xeons. Personally, I've never tried non ecc memory with xeons, out of curiosity why did you pick those since you can get ECC at DDR3-1600 speeds, granted at a slower timing (11-11-11, not 8-8-8, or was that the reason?) Also I try to stay away from low-voltage (1.35v) memory for DDR3 but that's mainly as I usually end up loading up a system and the more banks you fill xeons will down-clock the timings (1600 becomes 1333, then 1066, then 800). I am concerned about $ but the extra 50W or so wasn't really worth it. (now at work, it does add up when you have TiB's of ram. )

The board I got shipped with 5103 bios on it and had no problems recognizing the 2643V2's even though they were not supported until v5206. I was able to flash the bios up and then continue on my merry way.

Let us know if the Radeon 290's train at PCIe v3 specs. The word I got back from Nvidia is that only the GK110 chips will train @ v3 speeds (all GK104's are locked to PCIe v2 and it's up to the drivers to 'white list' each chipset, which only certain X79 & MB's are on it, the C60x's are not. ) So depending on what gets released in the next quarter or so will swap out my cards here.

wow watta relief thanks man! x 2.. if they would offer a 6-core at ~4.0ghz wouldve gone for the 6-core but at 3.5 just 100mhz extra i can gain that performance and then some with the low timings memory and thats why i went with non ecc low timings low voltage and 8x4gb instead of 8x8gb.. ill be pushing for 1866+ 7-7-7-21 fingers crossed!

will do.. plan was to wait till a full gk110 6gb/12gb titan refresh but i couldnt wait on nvidia any longer and at this ridiculously low price of the 4x 290s was way too intoxicating to pass up
