Asus P6T Vanilla - any thoughts?

[Khalmyr]

So, it appeared at the egg with a very very nice price.

U$249 only.. U$50 cheaper than the Deluxe.

has anyone tested it yet?

[Khalmyr]

nobody? :P

[mikeyakame]

it's only got half the vrm setup the deluxe has, might not be all that crash hot for overclocking heavily rather more of a casual use board. does it have SLI certification even?

[Khalmyr]

yes. tri-sli and quad x-fire.

Anyway,I finally went and bought it today

Asus P6T
Core i7 920 (batch 3838A431, hope it's a good one)
6Gb 1333 CL9 of some value memory
HD4870 1Gb

I'm going to use my TRUE w/ the 1366 kit i bought from sidewinder and 2 new scythe sliptream 1900rpm, wonder if these fans are as good as the the s-flex
Another worry is if my old enermax liberty 500w will be enough for this config. I know the PSU is good, but it's 2 years old now...

I'll post a review of the board as soon as i can assemble it on saturday

I'm also considering this board. It appears to be almost everything the P6T Deluxe is, but for a better price. Please report about stability and overclocking and you'll make my day. AnandTech appears happy with it so far, I just hope this isn't one of those boards with poor support in terms of BIOS updates (I've had one of those before, wasn't pretty).

Yes please post back your findings

[Khalmyr]

dang, i'm only missing some ddr3 to start my tests :P

shops only open tomorrow, ack!

I have this board and simply can not get it to run triple channel, ive bought 2 triple channel kits one ocz and one corsair both run fine with dual channel but one post with 3 sticks, and yes im using the orange slots, completely fed up

[Khalmyr]

I have 3 value DDR-3 sticks and they work normally in triple channel. maybe your board is faulty?
