Great Board -- Rock Solid -- Great and easy overclock!

Pros: Great features/utilities
Core i7 920 at 3.8GHz on air cooling--only had to change two or three settings in BIOS
6GB of tri-channel RAM - board can take 24GB
Big GPU, but nothing on mobo is blocked
Connection galore!
Dual Gigabit ethernet ports

Cons: ASUS utilities to overclock in Windows environment have been unreliable. A slight overclock using ASUS TurboV renders system unstable. Best bet is to overclock in BIOS.

Review: Incredibly stable board that provides unlimited possibilities. If you can still get one, then GET IT! I have not been able to get another since I bought my first.

Fantastic and a great overclocker!

Pros: Worked great right out of the box
Got my i7 920 to 4.0 on air (with effort but it worked)
24gb of ram max
Many USB, 2-3 firewire, 1esata
Noob users/advanced users can benefit!
New and fast onboard raid controller
Very popular board so tons of support

Cons: -They took out the SAS
-Only 6 Sata
-that's it. It's a great product. I'm very very happy with it.

Review: This product works, it does what you want, it has amazing overlock potential, it's VERY VERY widely used so user forums can give instant feedback and there are complete step-by-step guides on setup if needed. From the first time you raid to tweaking every little bit. Amazing board.

If you need more than 6 Sata and don't want to just get a cheap addon card then buy a diff board but this is a great one!

Brought up new system, changed boot order, mobo died.

Pros: Nothing, so far

Cons: Delicate, unstable board

Review: After assembling my system I changed the boot order. After trying to change the boot order back the system would not post and a local repair facility advised me the mobo was dead. RMA'd the board and reassembled the system, depending on repair facility to be certain of connections. Again aian I changed the boot order to accomodate a USB drive, and again, upon trying to change the boot order back, this motherboard also died. ASUS has not responded. Advice: If you must have this board, leave the boot order alone!!

P6T Asus hit the mark with a bullseye

Pros: Works like a rocket out of the box and OC's well.
Bundled inclusives work and are impressive.
Solid operation EXCELLENT SUPPORT.but you may never need it.. Huge warantee period.

Cons: Although there are SIX sata ports onboard there is a need for a minimum of two more if you choose to use the available multiple HD and 3.5 slots of the full size cases. A few more USBs would be great too!!

Review: For the price of the V2..its for real computers from home use to gaming with the I7 ..Works like a rocket out of the box and OC's to 3.8 without a problem and is rock solid.(you can oc higher but why??)
Works real well with asetek LCLC and is set up with northbridge fan standoffs and supplied secondary chipset fan.. very quiet too! in power save mode it is like being turned off. Bios setup is easy to grasp and bundled software is the nuts. Well laid out board and everything fits well. I personally will not tolerate andy glitches nor equipment caused failures or grief.. I want and get 100% out of my puter or I sell it. That is the bottom line
Running a 920 I7 in this board will make you fall in love again..
Now if we can get a OS that matched this unit in function we WILL be golden.

Yo.Kids- DDR3 memory is cheap and the new OCZ Platinum 2GB 1600 sticks run sweet with this unit(they are not yet listed as compatible) Yes- for under $200 you can stick 12GB memory in this beast and when 4gb stick come out you can do 24GB.. OMG I'm drooling. OCZ3G1600LV6GK, or, 12GK
