[Open Box] New 1155 Platform - Asus P8P67 Deluxe + 2sets of G.Skill DDR3 2133

[TinTin]

The new generation LGA 1155 platform will be announced very soon. With some pretests I have done, good performance clock to clock to i7 4C8T, though my 2300k ES (2.8G default but has 4C8T) is not very outstanding, running at 4.5G 24/7 is good enough, lower temperature in both in CPU and Chipset, SATA 6.0 & USB 3.0 supporting, I am very willing to build a new desktop as my workstation to replace my old E6600 P35 platform.

Here is my new P67 MB, Asus P8P67 Deluxe:


The Features - Dual Giga Lan, Double USB 3.0, Bluetooth, DIGI+VRM and new generation EFI BIOS....etc




The MotherBoard and Accessories: Here we see the MB.......



Accesories: A front USB 3.0 connector, some USB cables, a CrossFire bridge, Manual and Instruction User Guides, driver disc, back plate, EZ-connectorx...etc.


Closer Look to the MotherBoard: ASUS P8P67 Deluxe:


The 16+2 phase DIGI+ VRM units are covered by rather large Heatsink, the holes for heatsink is compatible with previous LGA1156 heatsinks.


4 X DDR3 Dimms supports maximum 32G Memory, 24pins Power Input, MemOK button to check your rams, and a TPU switch



Nuvoton LPC Super I/O for Desktop


8 SATA ports. Deep blue and white for SATA 3.0, SATA 2.0 using light blue.


1 X EPS 8pins for CPU Power


The PCI-e and PCI slots distribution view:


P67 chipset does not support PCI slot, Asmedia ASM1083 is used for the 2 PCI slots:


On-Board Power Switch, Reset Switch are very common now for overclockers naked platform and EPU Switch:


PLX Chips for PCI-e


A NEC USB 3.0 chips for back I/O USB connectors:

Another NEC 3.0 Chips is for the front Box USB 3.0 connectors:


Other chips: Sound Chips VIA VT6315N, Dual GigaLan: one use realtek, one use Intel GigaLan



The back I/O View: Bluetooth is ready installed.......


A Top and Bottom view of the Asus P8P67 Deluxe:



Some more new toys for the new Platform, I also got two set G.Skill RipJaws rams 2G X2 which are designed and engineered for P67 platform, from my quick test, they are doing much better than those Rams for P55 chipsets, let's see later (after NDA)


The light Blue RigJaws is rated as DDR3 2133 CL8-9-8-24 1.65V


The Dark one RigJaws is rated as DDR3 2133 CL7-10-7-27 1.65V


They all comes with the Turbulence II fan:


Take a look after installed the new AMD 6970:


A top view showing all components are installed, not so congested :


The whole Test Platform:
CPU: Intel SandyBridge 2300K ES
RAM: G.Skill DDR3 2133 RipJaws CL7-10-7-27 1.65V 2GX2
Display Card: HIS 6970
PSU: Antec TPQ 1200W OC Edition
SSD: OCZ Vertex 2 3.5"


The New Generation EFI BIOS, you can use both keyboard and Mouse to set the BIOS:




New Generation EFI BIOS options:
Advance Mode:












EZ Mode:


Before testing the MB, I have to very quick to verify the RAMs are okay....just a trial, DDR3 2200 CL8-9-8-24-1T @ 1.65V, more tests will come....

What happens from the TPU switch?
If you touch it; will a hologram of w1zzard appear and guide you?

RigJaws, hehe

Many piccies, g0 screendumps

[amdsempron_xs]

Holy , new Ripjaws looks good I want one kit

[Buckeye]

That EFI BIOS looks pretty cool.
Thanks for showing that

[_mat_]

Is that really a "K" processor with unlocked cpu multi? I am aware of an i5-2300, but that one is locked.

Sexy looking gear you got there

interesting 2 sets of memory from Gskill 2133mhz 7-10-7 vs 8-9-8

[DarthBeavis]

No NDA?

OMG ahaha i just laughed for 3 minutes straight!!! oh man haha
That would be sick if a hologram of my old boss came up haha, that woudl be a nice touch.

Good job! nice pics!

[Leeghoofd]

No NDA?

No results are to be shown, that's the NDA deal...

No idea yet about that TPU, neither the EPU swith Marc... only thing I know is that a green LED lights up Pretty happy they fixed the OC profiles names in the 0907 bios

[sin0822]

yea many people have been sold boards and CPUs and can post if they are not UNDER NDA.

[FlanK3r]

NDA end is tomorow morning, right?

cool.

[runmc]

EFI Bios is very cool. I like the blue - mine is red.

[sin0822]

I believe in the USA its the 9th, someone correct me if I am wrong.

There are some 2300"K" 4C8T ES D1 Stepping.
Retail is 2300 4C4T only.

[danielkza]

I believe in the USA its the 9th, someone correct me if I am wrong.

From what I read, 9th is the day the CPUs go into sale. The NDA will (hopefully) be lifted after Intel does their first CES announcements, IIRC on January 5th.

[slaveondope]

New lower latency 2133+ ram coming in
Makes good sense why older ddr3's been dropping in price

Now how much blck "wiggle" room do we get
Someone needs to drop some boinc numbers too

Well i am gonna get this mobo, and i am gonna use all dimm slot for 16gb.
What the best config cooler+ram so i can use all of this dimm?
I am worried about dimm obstructions to cooler, and ram compatibility.

Cooler:
Thermalright MUX 120 Black [Small, silent, enough for less TDP SB?]
Tuniq tower 120 Extreme [Big, but one fan inside]

RAM:
4 Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M1A1600C7 7-8-7-20, 1.65V (1x4Gb) [low heatsink]
2 Team Dark Xtreem PC3 12800 DDR3 LV 1600 MHz CL7 (2x4GB) 7-9-7-24 1.65v [low heatsink]
2 Corsair Dominator CMP8GX3M2A1600C9 9-9-9-24, 1.65V (2x4Gb) [Tall comb heatsink]
2 G.SKILL Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL (2x4Gb) 9-9-9-24-2N 1.5V [Tall comb heatsink]
2 PATRIOT Viper Xtreme PX538G1600LLK (2x4Gb) 8-9-8-24 1.65v Tall comb heatsink]

So: great tall dimm heatsink + MUX 120, or low heatsink + Tower 120?

Thx.

Btw, NDA ends in 3 hours.

[zalbard]

Nice photos, and nice quantity. Thank you!
Too bad you can't show the OC results yet...
I like you all-blue setup, by the way.

[TinTin]

interesting 2 sets of memory from Gskill 2133mhz 7-10-7 vs 8-9-8

Yup, that seems very interesting! One set can do 2200 C7 memtest, another set not yet test. But which one is the winner of performance?

[amdsempron_xs]

Any idea of the ICs behind? Still PSC?

[vern]

WOW
Nice TinTin
ASUS EFI BIOS look very cool .
