My ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer is here...

[melle.k]

sound's like this is a very good board cant wait to get mine it is in order richt now

[lawtq]

Does anyone get the occasional freeze in bios? Requiring a hard reset to function again? I get this at high overclocks, 4.5ghz with HT, have never run the board on stock cklocks before though.

Yeah, happened to me playing with high OC ,never happens on stock or low OC though, I'm not sure why.

I see, thanks 4 the reply.

Hurry with the bios update already, Asus.

[kgk]

So my P6T7 came today and it has the 303 Bios installed. Even though the one on the ASUS site is listed as 210 haha.

then your board is not original
asus germany said 0303 is internal bios for testing NOT final
then someone got your board and flashed 0303 and sended it back
my opinion

Everything was factory sealed, didn't look like it'd been touched. I highly doubt it.

Wouldn't be unheard of for a board to slip out with an unreleased BIOS. It's happened numerous times before.

Also, how can someone have flashed it to 303, and then sent it back since no one has been able to find the 303 anywhere on the web.......


Either way....who cares. I can flash it down to 210 or up to the next release any time I want.

Congrats!! This 303 bios, does it have the cpu turbo throttling disable option?

Give us your thoughts and OC experience later. Where'd you buy the board from?

I'm sending mine back to scan, they are picking it up, due to the one usb port not working, hope the replacement is with 303 bios.

Bought it from PC-king.de here in Germany.

I disabled Intel Turbo and Speedstep, which are listed as options. Think I forgot to disable C-State though since it's still giving me fluctuated readings in Core Temp.

The TDP is amusing in Core Temp though, jumps between 400 and 4000 Watts

Guess Core Temp doesn't support this board yet. Everest works though.

In the middle of downloading Windows 7 7600 build that just came out so gonna have to wait an hour for me to post oc's and temps. But believe it or not the stock cooling solution doesn't seem to be that bad. I was expecting far worse.

I've also noticed that this board does take slightly less vcore to boot 4.0Ghz HT on stable compared to the RIIE.

Ah, so no cpu turbo throttling option yet

Will let you know for sure in approx 30 minutes. Installing latest Windows 7, drivers, and programs at the moment.

Ok I can boot just fine with 133x 30 (~4Ghz) with HT on no problems. BIOS sees it as 4.0Ghz.

But in Windows, CoreTemp still gives me 133x12 to 133x26 back and forth. And it's the latest Core Temp beta too.

Everest same thing. Weird. Even when I run Prime 95 to stress it, thinking it'll crank up to the OC, it still displays 133x26. F'ed up.

Although CPU-Z sees it just fine as 4Ghz, and without fluctuations.......

It's probably the programs just not having caught up to the board yet since there aren't a lot in the wild.

Same here, fluctuations in core temp but not in cpuz.

One thing with the WS boards ,ASUS takes their sweet ass time with bios updates, from what Ive heard.

ASUS give me that 0410 bios already.

my p6t7 ws came today , i still got the 210 bios
but it works just fine , i got a i7 920 D0 with it (stock cooler) not to happy about the temps (43 at idle)

The temps don't have anything to do with the board.

That's within normal for idle. i7's run hot.

Also, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised with the chipset temps. Nothing crazy hot. Doesn't seem to get any hotter than my RIIE with stock cooling. I have good airflow in my case though, so I could see how without air flow on the fins that the board could get hot.

[melle.k]

my chipset temp is 42

Ditto.

everything is working fine but when i oc my pocessor up to 3.0 ghz and i stress it i get tempt up to 70 i have got my multiplier at 20 and the core speed at 150 ,the voltage is at stock

am i doing something wrong because 70 is not good at all for an mild oc

Make sure your heatsink is seated properly, take it off and check the paste for dry spots.

Oh , i noticed your using a stock cooler from your previous post, that's your problem lol,get a better cooler if overclocking.

Boards get sent with new bios just before they update the asus site ,happened to me with the p6t deluxe v2.

Also, check your serial number on your box , tell me what your first 2 numbers are (first number is the year, second number is the month it was built)That should give you a good idea ..let me know.

BTW, mine was built on may of 09

Bios Beta Version 0305 for the Asus P6T7WS.
