Conclusion

I was very surprised with the features ASUS had included on the P7P55 WS SuperComputer Motherboard. For its price of $229.99 on Newegg, this board is definately something you might want to look into if you are looking for a powerful, stable, and power efficient motherboard that has more features than what you might ever use. TurboV Evo, T.Probe, the EPU Engine and the Turbo OC Tuner Profile in the BIOS make this motherboard an excellent overclocker as well as one of the most efficient motherboard on the market.

The ASUS Xtreme Design is again another great feature ASUS included. It's special 16+3 Power Phase Design, 100% solid Japanese Capacitors, and the VRM load calibration system makes this motherboard stand out from the rest. During our testing period we could not find any disadvantages about the board, so in our opinion it is one solid build from ASUS that cannot be missed by any serious system builders!

The only thing that we would like to have seen on this motherboard would have been USB 3.0, and SATA 6.0Gb/s Support. Since we had a SAS setup with a powerful RAID Card capable of 6.0Gb/s, this wasn't a problem, but this might not be the case for some on the cheap side. But there might be a solution for those looking for USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0Gb/s support. Asus also has another P7P55 board called P7P55D-E Pro which already comes with USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0Gb/s support. They also included a special chip which doesn't take away from the performance of the PCI-E slot like other companies have done. Another option would be using ASUS' U3S6 Add-On card which gives support for UBS 3.0 and SATA 6.0Gb/s support. With all this said lets take a look at our verdict.

Pro

Stable, Efficient, and Powerful

Excellent Overclocker

Superb Features for the price

Solid and built with Quality

Lower Temperatures and more efficient across the whole board over the older LGA775 socket

Cons

Minor con, but would have been nice to see USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0Gb/s support on this board.

Other than that None!

Summary: The ASUS P7P55 WS SuperComputer Motherboard is something that a serious system builder cannot miss out on.
