My ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer is here...

[EOD]

Is this chip fine?

Asus p6t7
920 D0

It looks promising, but I would definitely let prime95 run longer. Try 8hrs and see if it is stable.

Hey Duniek Lock Great

Wait For Finish Your Work And Some Test M8

[Dawgneck]

LOL just turn the fan around. Your case temperatures will thank you.

If your case is properly ventilated its internal temperature should be (at most) 1-2 degrees warmer than the room. If you have aggressive ventilation there should be no difference. This will translate into the same results (CPU temperature) without interfering with airflow in your case and pumping in heat that you don't want.

I placed a second fan behind the radiator and the temps went down a degree or two, but nothing to write home about. I reversed the fans and learned Corsair was correct: With the Lian Li V2000 case, temps increased by 5-8 degrees! I guess ventilation in the V2000 isn't as great as I thought, even with Silenx fans.

I'm definitely going with a full water cooling system that utilizes a triple 120mm and a dual 80mm radiator.

Nice, Duniek! Sprinkle some nickle-plated "Bling-Bling" on my sample to match my other items

On another note, Crucial/Micron released the 256GB Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5-inch SATA 6GB/s today: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspe...DDAC256MAG-1G1

I picked one up early this morning. I hope it's worth the wait.

I have a asus P6T7 WS supercomputer, use it 3 month before with a W3580 ES chip, the spec is :
W3580 ES, P6T7 WS Supercom board, Gskill Trident DDR3-2000 3 x 2g, I flshed the 0052 bios few weeks before and never realised any problem, only set mutiplier to 33 x 133,all others setting is auto,run @ 4.4g ddr3-1600 cl6. After I never touch this rig due to busy on course, yesterday I start play the bios, very strange problem is whatever cpu v-core I set in bios, the everest in WIN-XP and Cpu-Z is beyond 1.36V, my settings is :
AI Overclock Tuner: Manual
CPU Ratio Setting: 25
BCLK Frequency: 133
PCIE Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: DDR3-1600
UCLK Frequency: 3200Mhz
QPI Link Data Rate: AUTO
CPU Voltage: 1.25
QPI/DRAM Core Voltage: 1.30
Load-Line Calibration: Disabled
CPU Differential Amplitude: AUTO
CPU Clock Skew: AUTO
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
IOH Clock Skew: AUTO
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled

CPU Advance Settings
C1E Support: Disabled

the rest is auto,so is it my board or chip problem? anyone can help?

New bios

P6T7 WS SuperComputer 0607 BIOS
1.Add microcode for Gulftown CPU / Intel 980X
2.update 4 way SLI key
3.revised DRAM Voltage range for TurboV

Other bios files here: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...T7_WS_SC/BIOS/

Thanks, nFo.

Should those of us overclocking still stick with 0052?

Has there been an updated throttling bios firmware release?

+1 The 0052v update would be appropriate.

[Dawgneck]

Well, I have to say the P6T7 & I7 920 D0 stepping combo is a magnificent overclocking machine.

It's fairly easy to hit 4.13 Ghz with the 0052 firmware.

Nice board, Asus!

[KingOfsorroW]

It looks like the 0052v bios is going to be updated finally.

[KingOfsorroW]

Guys, Asus is currently updating their special bioses for the mobos. So if you would like to have our bios updated, you need say it. Me alone - is not enough. Comon, chime in people. And those unregistered guys - it's time to check in and do something useful other than read in the hide. ok? -)

Could you provide a link in order to ask for that new bios?

Asus read this very thread so if they see there are enough of people, that are in need of the updated version of the 0052 bios - they will udate it then.
So, I guess, posting something like "+1 I need that bios badly" will drag the attention alright to the matter.
And if you add something like "... or I'll have to move to evga that supports gultowns." Will do only good. Just kidding

[Rubycon]

I don't get what's so special about the 502 bios. Still throttles for me!
I don't think this "feature" can be disabled in BIOS. My EVGA classified boards will NOT kick back the multiplier regardless of temp/load.

This is important as losing the 21X on the W3520 means really high BCLK is needed for 4.3GHz+.

[KingOfsorroW]

It doesn't throttle for me. I tested mulriple times under LInx and Prime for like hours - there is no throttle. That's the only special thing about it.

[nightsharkski]

+1 I need that bios badly

[vmanuelgm]

+1 for a p6t7 0052 evolution bios

[jamiee]

Agreed, an update to 0052 is needed!

[Dawgneck]

Heck yeah, ASUS!

+1 for a new throttling bios update.

Thanks in advance and great board!

[unclewebb]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I sent a message to Asus to see where they stand about updating their special bios versions that have been very popular with XS users.
I'll let you know when I hear back from them.

Great! Thanks unclewebb

Thanks everyone...I have always supported Asus even when everyone else was going to EVGA...

I have a P6T7 with a 980X and cannot run anything above a 25 multi...Well I can run it but any stress and I leap back to a 26 or 25....

I spent 400.00 on this board and love it but this is unexceptable....I am truly an Asus fanboy...I went with this over EVGA..Please give us the correct Bios so we can compete and game with everyone else...This is why most of us spent 400.00 for this MB...

I could maybe understand but not really if this was a 95.00 MB......

Fix this now......PLEASE

[lakeside2189]

Yes I installed my Gulftown yesterday and it worked great, got i up to 4 Ghz. The only thing I dont like is that the CPU ratio setting has gone from the AI tweaker menu in this BIOS.
Tried to push it further but the mulipler kept dropping under load, but I'll try again to day. I'm kind of a rookie in OC.

I have this exact same problem..I almost switched to the EVGA board but have always stuck by Asus....
Could this be more than a Bios problem for the MB??????
