Asus P6T Deluxe Review
Asus P6T Deluxe Review by T Costa (Santa Clara, CA USA)
Bought this mb about 2 months ago. Straight forward install. Have had no problems whatsoever.

Very good mobo for Vista 64. Will be even better with the next version of Windows.
Asus P6T Deluxe Review by Embedded EE (Oregon, USA)
I bought this board through another vendor, but felt the need to warn other customers before buying.
The first revision of the board has some issues. I've been building systems for > 20 years, and remember when Asus delivered solid mobos. This changed about seven years ago, and this generation of boards has not improved.
I brought the board home and setup it up on my bench. I ran memtest86+ overnight and had no problems. Excited, I began to build my system:
920 Core i7
6 GB DDR3 (6 x 1 GB Kingston).
1 8500GT PCI-Express Video Card.
2 x 1.5 TB Seagate SATA
1 x BD Optical Drive.
I then installed Vista Ultimate x64. After the initial install/configuration was complete, I then installed two working tuners from another system:
2 x WinTV-PVR-150 PCI tuner cards.
I waited on the installation of the tuner cards, because I have had troubles with windows loading incorrect drivers for these cards in the past. Post system installation is easier, because I have more control over what driver revisions to install.
That aside, once I rebooted my system with the new cards, I received an error for the bios after post, stating that there was an error with the CPU fan. The case was still open on my bench, and I can see the fan was fine. I rebooted the system, and all my CMOS settings were reset. I set the correct CMOS settings and continued. Now once the system booted, only one of the cards was able to tune correctly. I have direct drops to the tuner cards, from my cable distribution amp. The cable signal level is near perfect. Wondering if my tuner card died (or a problem with the PCI slot) I began the card swap routine. This required a reboot each time, each time with new and interesting post errors from the motherboard.
Each card tested fine. I put them both back into the original computer, which I was attempting to replace, and they both work fine in that system.
In the new (and now failing system) I then replaced the power supply, to remove any doubt that the rails were dipping below tolerance. I replaced it with my well-tested bench power supply, which is an Antec 1000W supply. The board still failed to post correctly, and did not fix my tuner card issue.
I ended up returning the board, only to read on other posts that I'm not alone with this problem. It appears there is a stability problem with this mobo, and I'm lucky it didn't take out any of my components.
Checking out the website for Asus, they are releasing a V2 of this board already. I'm steering clear of it, but to those more adventurous, you may wish to wait until it hits the streets before buying into this board.
