Asus Z9 PE-D8 WS / Dual Xeon E5 2687W / 64GB Kingston DDR3 Review

SolidWorks Professional includes libraries of standard parts and fasteners, tools to automatically estimate manufacturing cost and to help utilize imported geometry, and utilities that search designs for errors. Your designs can be realistically rendered with PhotoView 360 software and shared with the eDrawings Professional package, an easily deployed tool that lets everyone view, measure, and markup the design data. SolidWorks Professional also gives you an integrated data management system that securely stores all project information and tracks all design changes. Streamline your design process with SolidWorks Professional.

We test with a 3000×2000 render which comprises 3.02M Polygons and 256 AA samples.

SolidWorks scales well with overclocking, and the 3960X EE delivers a fantastic end result when overclocked to 4.8ghz. The Xeon E5 2687W x2 system takes top spot with a final time of 2 minutes and 57 seconds.

  1. And there was me thinking my 3570k at 5ghz was awesome 🙂

    shame on me !

  4. thats a very nice system, but it does show that software is way behind the hardware. exactly the same sorry situation in the world of gaming.

    We need a new Crysis and new application support for many cores.

  5. The coders are lazy, although it makes little sense to develop a lot of time to multiple core support when most people have dual/quad core.

    Most games ive looked at only use one core however, its a poor showing.

  6. You should have known that on Xeons overclocking is BLOCKED – and this includes not only CPU clocks, but memory as well… 1600 is the highest you’re allowed to go – until Ivy-E next year which is expected to provide 1866. Annoying, isn’t it?

  7. Well I stand (or sit) corrected on that one. I thought they could load the XMP profiles, but clearly not. thanks.

  8. im currently have a similar setup, but on a cosmos 2, and both h80is dont fit on top they touch the top board passive coolers, too bulky ,so i need an advice how to setup this coolers, i saw on your nuild the h80s running wiht only 1 fan? how is the performance of those in that way?

  9. The run great. bear in mind the 2687W’s aren’t producing too much heat when they are running at default clock speeds and voltages. Temperatures were well under 70c under extended load. As long as you have decent air flow, one fan is not a concern. Its only if you were to overclock and push voltages the two fans would be very useful. With Xeon’s being locked, it isn’t a concern.

    If you are mounting the coolers at the rear, or top, set the single fan in exhaust configuration.

  10. so ill try to put it on top with the fans outside pushing air inside, that will be ok?

  11. Will the single fan not fit inside the case? I would set them up as exhaust unless you are mounting the radiators at the front of the case.

  12. the problem is that the asus mobo has 2 passive coolers on top of the board and the radiator with the fan inside dont fit couse of them, so, thats why im planning to put them as intake, and only 1 fan each 🙁

  13. I wouldn’t mount them in an intake position at the top of the case, even if they are outside the case. Hot air naturally flows upwards. you would really cause a problem for the airflow of the case if you set them as intake flowing up to down.

    Should all still be ok, as long as you have good cool air intake from the front/side of the case.

  14. looks like the cosmos 2 is well ventilated, 2 front, 1 back, 3 to the psu… im going to try the fron cage solution

  15. I’m running this board with Predator 2133MHz using a VCCSA of 1.2V got it stable 11-12-11-30-2T 1.6V so consider that one negative may be solved.
