ExtremeTech rounded up four motherboards based on the Intel X58/ICH10R chipset. The mainboards tested were the Asus P6T (US$260), ECS X58B-A ($250), EVGA X58 3X SLI ($300), and Gigabyte EX58-UD4P ($270).
The test setup configuration was the following:
- Intel Core i7 920 processor
- 6GB (3x2GB) OCZ PC3-10666 DDR3 memory
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB SATA 3Gbps HDD
- AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics
- Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1 operating system
"Take that ASUS P6T and build your Core i7 around it. Then overclock the bejeeszus out of it. You won't regret it." [ExtremeTech | X58 Motherboard Roundup]
While the ASUS P6T was the top choice, ExtremeTech also liked the Gigabyte EX58-UD4P:
"The Gigabyte EX58-UD4P, however, is a contender. It might not have overclocked as well as the P6T, but its feature set and its company reputation for support and stability go a long way toward a secondary recommendation." [ExtremeTech]
So, if you are planning to build a new system based on the Intel Core i7, and is highly interested in doing some serious overclocking, the Asus P6T motherboard would be on top of your list.
