Conclusion

Now that we compared Gigabyte mainboards against Asus P6T we have every right to say that Gigabyte once again designed an extremely successful product line. We admired their Intel P45 Express based solutions, and now we are extremely happy about Gigabyte mainboards on Intel X58 Express. We hope that this great tendency will go on. As for the main hero of our today’s review – Asus P6T mainboard – we would like to wind up this article on an optimistic note despite a few issues we pointed out.

Let’s think for a second, can we use Asus P6T to overclock processors? Of course, we can. It does fall behind the competing solutions, but not too badly. Certainly, you won’t get an acceptable result for the most optimal “smart” overclocking mode when all Intel processor power-saving technologies remain intact; besides, it consumes too much power when you increase the voltages during overclocking. So, you can use Asus P6T mainboard to overclock processors, but it won’t be the most optimal solution.

And can we use Asus P6T mainboard for efficient work in nominal mode or during slight overclocking? This is what it does best without any “if’s” or “but’s”. It runs fast and offers comparable power consumption up to 152MHz base frequency. Just make sure that the price of this mainboard in your region corresponds to its functionality and is about the same as the price of the competitor solutions.

The most remarkable thing about Asus P6T mainboard that we will definitely remember it by is the opportunity to install an LGA775 processor cooler on this LGA1366 mainboard. All in all, it is a good board with good functionality, with its advantages and drawbacks.
