ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS in our hands... but

 

I`m sorry, it is not for overclocking, because CPU ratio is locked and very low for good results in 3DMark CPU tests. With 2x E5-2620 on 2 GHz in 3DMark11 was only around 75xx marks for CPU tests. BCLK strap not working, BCLK overclocking - 101-102 MHz and no more...

 

But it is really good motherboard for workstation

I will test myself with 3GHz Edition Xeon

Nice, but i think for really string results need 125 mhz BCLK

yeah, too bad strap is locked, heard about unlocked CPU but seems to be few ES only

I will ask about unlock CPU`s on next week, when i will go in Intel office

What a pity.... it looks like a very very intresting motherboard.... but without overclocking
