The connectors panel bears the above mentioned eSATA and IEEE1394 ports, as well as PS/2 connectors for keyboard and mouse, six USB ports, a network RJ45 connector (Realtek 8111C), optical and coaxial S/PDIF and six audio-jacks implemented via the eight-channel Realtek ALC1200 HD codec.

Overall, Asus P6T mainboard proves up to our expectations from the functionality standpoint and meets all the requirements for contemporary mainboards. You can clearly see it from the detailed technical specifications table:

The components layout helps to better understand design advantages and drawbacks:

This time we can see an unusually large number of jumpers for a contemporary board (these components are marked with number “4” on the picture). Asus P6T BIOS has such extensive voltage adjustment options that the developers decided to play safe and lower the maximums of the supported intervals. You will be able to increase the CPU Vcore, QPI bus voltage and memory voltage to their maximums only if you reset the corresponding jumper.

However, this is just a peculiarity of Asus P6T mainboard. Speaking of the design drawbacks, we have to say that we don’t see any connectors that could be used for the rear panel fans. For some reason there is a processor fan connector there instead. It is very strange that Asus engineers made a mistake like that, absolutely unforgivable for high-end developers like themselves. Far not every system case is equipped with a front panel fan cooling the HDD chassis, while the rear panel fan is a much more frequent solution. However, its cable may not be long enough to connect to Asus P6T mainboard.
