i have the ASUS P6T-Dlx and both the eVGA X58 Vanilla and classified.

The eVGA Vanilla fan is not loud. And the board stays a lot cooler then the ASUS P6T because the mosfets arent intigrated into the stock heat sink.

So whoever told you that the eVGA board was hotter then the ASUS didnt know what he was talking about.

Also the ASUS gets hot under load, and high end oc. (once again because of the connecting mosfets).

There both great boards tho, however im kinda tired of the asus.

My favorate right now is my classified.
