My ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer is here...

[illuminatiASUS]

That is a great setup you have running. Glad to read you are enjoying ( always interested in seeing what you guys do with our boards ). Can I know what type of sleep issue it is you are having? Additionally prior to checking with everest was there a reason you did not us PC Probe software that is designed and bundled with the board?

Thank you illuminatiASUS, for me i use other software for my needs ,only thing i use is turbo v for reference only ( all settings are done directly from bios).

As far as the sleep issue is concerned,it sleeps fine but waking up takes some time ,my keyboard and mouse seems like there looking for irq placement ,and finally when they connect i get screen flickering till i reboot
and everything is fine again.Vista is known to have problems with sleep mode.For me, i don't use sleep mode on desktops, only laptops. For other people thats a different story though. Other than that this is the best mobo Ive owned(and i have owned many since the 286 days)and definitely recomend it to anyone looking for the latest and greatest.

BTW.. whens the new bios coming out ?

[nge769]

I decided to move the temp probe and place it under the heat sink near the
CS and temps seemed to change 5c.

My results..Room temp 22.7C

Idle 38.5
Load 41.0

Seems to me without the memory fan cooling off the heat pipe these temps would be higher. So for air cooling, its still very good.

My P6T7 should arrive tomorrow

Man that board is a beast!

Hello and congrats on the new board,let me know how your making out with it.

[burningrave101]

nge769 have you done any testing to see what your max BCLK is on this board? I'm wondering how it compares in overclocking to the Classified.

Not really ,got it up to 200 or so, but don't really need too because I'm running the 975 and multi is unlocked ( I'm not looking to brake any records).Thats only for peeps with 920,I'm surprised nobody chimed in yet with there results.

I will test this for sure, as I have a 920 D0 and W3540 as well.

BUUUTTT my P6T7 is unfortunately coming on Monday and not yesterday as the shop has promised. And I payd extra for this so called "express delivery"!

I use this board for everything ,exclusively for gaming (codwaw,cod4)Max settings , slaps games around like its nothing..thinking of buying Dedicated physx 9800gt (slot 7) but at this point not really needed.

I think your good gaming comes from the 295s not the motherboard...you don't need a board with two nf200s to achieve the gaming level you currently have as any of the x58s with two x16 slots would provide the same level of gaming...adding another card for physics wouldn't even need a full x16.

I hope someone here can give us some more accurate temps...this badboy has gotta be hot...hopefully we will see more B3 chipset boards soon too.

I'm using the 260 on my board and the gaming is awesome...... no lags at all.

Like i said before this board scored 3k higher than the p6tDeluxe V2 on vantage with same config temps on video cards is, idle 45c load 51!! The slot config is better , the layout is better ,Thats why i bought this board!!

The latest temps i gave with my configuration are the best your gonna get.
Again, this board DOES NOT come with a north bridge sensor,The probe i wedged underneath the heatsink and mobo near the CS is very accurate and temps are consistent, If you know a better way , I'm all ears.

From what i hear slots 1234 on 1st nf200, 567 on 2nd nf200.

When i first got this board i experimented with cards on slots 1 and 3 and board and cards were hotter.

Go to you tube and see the review of the classified where they used the probe to test the temps of the CS, it was very accurate compared to the
on board sensor.

That's what I'm confused about...your other board was running two x16 slots and even though your new board has more true x16 slots, just having better temps/layout can't up your score 3k points (unless some good overclocking was done)...I'm guessing your previous set-up either had a defect or maybe SLI wasn't enabled? There's just no way your scores could have gone up 3k points simply by swapping motherboards...especially since both are x58 boards and both utilized 2 x16 lanes for the videocards. Do you have any SS of these runs?

I'm trying to decide between this and a Classified right now...hopefully some of you guys who have this board already can start posting some screenies of what it's capable of (especially since heat is apparently not an issue).

I never said my temps had anything to do with my score , thats number 1.
2, I had two deluxe v2 boards = same results , probably because i used a pci sound card on slot 3.But the RIIE i owned scored only 600 points less or so compared to p6t7, so that was fine.
3, I know the difference between sli and non sli ,and that wasn't the issue .

Listen , i don't work for asus , or am i a fanboy , actually this is the first time i used asus boards, and Ive been doing this for 20 years.

Hey,buy the classified , its more up your alley

BTW 2XGTX295's run in quad sli not sli.

[PatRaceTin]

wow i can not afford that price!!!

[crashmax]

to see my new P6T7 Supercomputer Part1.

In Part2 I will do some overclocking with my W3540 and 920 D0.

Here are the Pictures:

RIIE must go...



The P6T7 WS SuperComputer



My Case (Cooler Master Cosmos) likes this Mobo. One more GTX280 is waiting for SLI



This are the Pictures and now I will do some overclocking and benchmarks...

[crashmax]

As always. Don't expect to much from the first BIOS Version (0210)

W3540:
- there are no options to set uncore and qpi Link speed. Thought this is a Workstation Board???
- On RIIE my W3540 boots til 222BCLK, on P6T7 210 was the end

920 D0:
- Aaaahhhh, all OC-Options are available!
- On RIIE my D0 boots til 231BCLK, on P6T7 215 seems tricky

And for the Chipset heat, my sensor show my no more than 54C on load (room 27C). Buuuut, I hardly can touch the heatsink.....

Will do some more tests and hope that a new BIOS will arrive soon!

[Dahmer]

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.

Sex, beer and rock n roll?

@nge769 :
The 3k increase in score just from getting another mobo really confuse me too.... *scratches head*

Wow 27c room temps thats 81f , thats hot, you need some ac lol, my room is 22c. Also try putting a memory fan on , it cools the heat sink-pipe next to it
that will bring down your CS temps .

I think the new bios 0410 should be coming out soon.

Nice setup and looking forward to future results

BTW, are you saying your 920 is unlocked ?

Hi dahmer , I was also scratching my head as to why the p6t deluxe v2 scored less,(probably sound card dropped one card to 8X) so i got rid of it and bought the RIIE (great board btw)which gave good results, but the video cards ran hotter (butt up against each other)so got rid of that too, and here i am now.If the RIIE came with a better slot layout it woulda been a keeper

Hi,

Have already a 120mm FAN on Memory.

No, max multi is 21, but can change uncore and QPI-Link speed in BIOS witch is not possible with the W3540.

Outside Temp is 31C

Do you have any beta BIOS yet?

[crashmax]

Need 0.08 less VCore! That's pretty good!

No, i wish i did have the beta bios .

Yeah i see your top fans from the pic, if you have a memory fan try it out , cause it has more pressure and sits right on top of it.

I also noticed you placed you sensor probe on top of heat sink , I think ill give that a try and see what results i get.

This is my final (Fan) Setup.


Prime is now running since 30 minutes and the sensor shows me 57C.

[nge769]

I moved temp probe to where you have it .



Room temps 22c ..this is on idle..



Load..




Seems to me that having the probe under the heatsink instead of on top of it has more accurate results for me (4c higher)so im putting it back.

its 70F in my room , your at 81F+
