ASUS P6X58D-E Intel X58 Express Motherboard Review

Testing – Gaming
For gaming I ended up going with my favorite three gaming benchmarks, Crysis, Call of Juarez, and PT Boats:  Knights of the sea.  Each one of them has characteristics that I have yet to find a better set of gaming benchmarks.  Settings on all were High, 2 x AA, 1280 x 1024.

  1. Thanks for this page- I am having trouble mounting this mb into my case because the blue metal pieces on the underside of the mb cause the mb to “lift” away from the case and the only option would be to use longer screws for the hole closest to the ps/2 connections which would then cause the whole rear connections section to not line up correctly. Did I need a special case for this mb to accommodate the blue metal pieces on the underside? my case is a Cooler Master ATX compatible. Thanks!

  2. Dont like this board. It’s quite picky on the DRAM. You have to manually change the settings in the bios as AUTO doesnt give you the correct voltage or QDRAM settings. XMP also is a joke in this boad.

    There are issues that are unique to this board and the Marvell controller if you want to run 6 GB/sec.

    Asus customer support is horrilbe and all and all, a dud of board in my opinion.

  3. And another thing, if you want to run 12 GB or more on this board then the max supported speed is 1333 NOT 1600 mhz!!
