My ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer is here...

[crashmax]

1. There is no cold boot issue with the RIIE. You just didn't update your BIOS. Was fixed as of 1306. BIOS is currently past that.

2. There isn't any lag or lack of "smoothness" with programs or games between the two. That's an asinine statement. Either your board was defective or you're pulling observations out of your ass. I've seen them both in action running identical CPU's and high end RAM. Both were also using Intel SSDs. Also, you'll likely get a larger FPS hit on the P6T7 due to the two NF200's.

I'm sorry but I debated between the RIIE and the P6T7 because a good friend of mine purchased it. I ended up going with the RIIE with the option of sending it back for a P6T7. I may still send it back for the P6T7, but only because of the extra PCIe slots. We have identical setups with 975's, 2000Mhz C8 RAM and Intel SSDs. What you wrote reads like an ASUS press release.



No, Everest is likely just misreading the sensor. There's no way your motherboard temp is 57C. Motherboard temps don't vary that much between idle and load and never that high. Unless you live in the desert. That is likely the average of the chipset temp between the two NF200's and the Northbridge.



That's standard throttling on most any board that supports it.


Yes, you're excited to have your new motherboard, we get it. But don't write your observations like an ASUS press release. It helps no one.

I don't know whats the problem here? Perhaps it is my English as this is not my mother-tong.

1. I don't work for ASUS or any reseller.
2. I never said that there was a cold boot issue with my RIIE. I used BIOS 1406
3. I wrote that the new Mobo feels smoother while working and gaming and not that RIIE was a crappy Board. The RIIE was one of the best Mobos I ever had and I had about 40 different Boards!
4. The OS is booting much faster, that's a fact! In my case
5. I don't now where the on board sensor is on this mobo, but asus wrote to nge769 that there is no sensor for the x58 Chip or I simply misunderstood this.

And what relay pisses me of is, that this should be a Forum to share some impressions of new released Hardware but some people try to offend you if you write your personal view

If you have an other view then tell us, but please don't do that in this way.
