On Performance:
"It's seriously one of the best motherboards we have ever had our hands on. Stability, speed, style, design, features... everything is just 99% right with this motherboard." [Guru3d]
"With the north bridge really acting as nothing more than a glorified PCI Express hub, the best X58 motherboards will stand out with improved overclocking support and performance as well as included extras and features. The ASUS P6T Deluxe excels in this area to a T: it offers a BIOS chock full of overclocking settings and memory tweaks and also was able to overclock faster right out of the box than Intel's own DX58SO 'Smackover' motherboard. It's hard to ask for more than that with identical-chipset motherboards. " [PC Perspective]
On Features:
"... everything is and feels right from design, positioning of connectors, 2x Gigabit Ethernet, passive cooling, black PCB color, micro-switches, USB ports, digital audio connectivity... yeah it's just all bloody fantastic. So here we have seen a good example of what you can achieve when everything is right." [Guru3d]
"And how can we forget that this is the FIRST STANDARD MOTHERBOARD TO OFFICIALLY SUPPORT BOTH CROSSFIRE AND SLI to hit our test bench? ... the ASUS P6T Deluxe will have it and we are thrilled to have a true enthusiast platform at long last that will run BOTH multi-GPU solutions." [PC Perspective]
The Guru of 3D gave the ASUS P6T Deluxe its Best Hardware Award:
"So let me close this verdict right here and now, I didn't have the time just yet to cover everything on this mainboard, but dang, it's close to being perfect. Have you ever heard me say that before in a review? Yeah, me neither. Extremely recommended. Best hardware award granted. Lovely." [Guru3d | ASUS P6T DeLuxe review]
PC Perspective gave the ASUS P6T Deluxe its Gold Award:
"Even with the high price, the ASUS P6T Deluxe looks to be a fantastic motherboard for early adopters of the Intel Core i7 processor by offering up a host of unique features as well as a BIOS that would make most enthusiast overclockers envious." [PC Perspective | ASUS P6T Deluxe X58 Motherboard Review ]TechSpot.com found it an outstanding motherboard:
"The Asus P6T Deluxe is possibly the best motherboard we have seen so far this year, partly due to the evident hard work put in by Asus, and partly because the Core i7 platform is just so darn impressive. Asus helped make this motherboard special by including features such as the true 16+2 phase power design, Express Gate SSD, onboard SAS support, and many others. " [TechSpot | Asus P6T Deluxe Intel X58 motherboard review]
Early adopters will surely be thrilled with the ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard, giving the freedom of choice for either Crossfire or SLI.
