ASUS P6X58D Premium LGA1366 Motherboard Review

Fri 2010-03-12 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

PureOverclock have posted a review of the ASUS P6X58D Premium, an Intel X58-based LGA1366 motherboard featuring SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0.

Let's see what they had to say:

"In conclusion, the ASUS P6X58D-Premium demonstrated that it can deliver better overall system performance against related X58-Express platform while also adding updated SuperSpeed USB-3.0 and SATA-III 6.0Gb/s functionality. The 16+2 Xtreme Phase Power Design offers energy efficiency similar to other motherboards of this platform when high-end power VRM features are incorporated. Casual gamers and mainstream computer users need not concern themselves with the P6X58D-Premium, especially since ASUS offers the Maximus-III Formula and P7P55-WS SuperComputer which both offer outstanding performance and value for the Intel P55-Express platform. However, if you're one of the elite few who use an Intel Extreme Edition processor or multiple video cards, then the ASUS P6X58D-Premium would go nicely with a Crucial RealSSD-C300 SATA-III 6Gbps SSD."

Along with the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7, this is easily one of the best X58 motherboards on the market.
