Title: [WTS] ASUS P6T7 WS SuperComputer LGA 1366 Intel Mobo
Post by: rjk on June 01, 2012, 05:01:51 PM
Asus P6T7 WS SuperComputer motherboard

LGA 1366 socket with all the overclocking goodies in a workstation board - this motherboard will handle 'most anything that you care to throw at it!
The pictures show my system with the board installed. It was returned for RMA, and has not been installed since the new replacement was received.

The waterblock shown in the picture is not currently installed - this board comes with the stock heatsink!

This board has DUAL ethernet ports for failover reliability, and dual SAS ports for enterprise storage connectivity. There are six (6) DDR3 memory slots for triple-channel speed.
Please note that this listing includes only the motherboard itself with the stock heatsink. It does not include memory, processor, hoses, or fittings. I'll include as many of the original accessories as I can find.

Selling here because some idiot 0 feedback ebay buyer didn't pay. Asking 33 BTC including shipping to the US and maybe Canada, if it's cheap.

Note to RJK, set a rule in your next auction to only allow people with X or better rep.

Is this the board that allows you to run 13 GPU cores?

I set buyer restrictions, but as far as I can tell I can only disallow users with fewer than zero feedback. I need to look into it again.

lol no, it has seven PCIe slots, but you are still limited to 8 GPUs from AMD. You can however exceed that with nVidia Quadro equipment.

Sorry for the late response, I forgot to enable email notifications on the thread and forgot about it. :(

Does this board require the use of x16/x16 Extenders for video cards ? .....or pin shorting using x1/x16 Extenders ?

I am spoiled by all of my X58 LGA1366 boards and the flexibility, but I am interested in this board if it can use x1's WITHOUT pin shorting.

No video card requires an x16 extender, they can all run on an x1 if you want them to. However, I haven't tested it with x1 extenders, so I don't know whether it would require jumpers or not. I suspect that it wouldn't, but I'm not sure about that. You can buy x1 extenders that already have that pin shorted (I think, not sure where), so that might be an option.

Before the RMA replacement, it was mining in a case with 3 5870s, and that was working great. However, I don't have a processor or RAM to test with, so I have left it in the packaging.

This is a great board. Mine supported 4x 6870s without any extenders.

(OP please consider this as a free bump :))

I am looking for a board to support 7 cards without pin jumpering or x16/x16 cables required.....as this IS for Bitcoin Mining.

(previous poster, please consider this a slap to your face ;) )

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to guarantee that this is possible, as I have not been able to find any instances of anyone else using the board in that kind of situation. Sorry. Ideally, this would be used for 7x Quadro 4000 cards for CAD rendering, or 1 Quadro 6000 and 3 Tesla M2000 series cards.
