Ordered! Shame it went up by a tenner since deal first launched! Still a steal though and cannot wait to get to my mits on it tomorrow and abuse my i7!

Just ordered the board today, should have got in sooner for the -£10 lol

Do you think i'll be able to hit around 3.8-4Ghz with >
P6T Deluxe/OC Palm
Core i7 920
OCZ 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1866MHz Gold

I'll be on Air and in a Antec 1200.. Old case from my Q6600 days!

Any help would be great

PS: Sorry hello all from a 1st time poster

Hello and welcome to the forums.

4ghz should be easy enough to achieve with a bit of tweaking, as long as you have a decent cpu cooler as i7's are hot running cpu's.

It's a one off batch. Once all the stock is sold then we won't be getting any more. Be quick guys as this is an incredibly good price for such a high-end motherboard.

So how come its gone up by £10 then?

Managed to get a small amount more but they've cost me a little bit more. Think Asus realised they didn't need to sell them quite as cheap the first time.

Is this a decent alternative to the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58? As i've bent the cpu pins on my ud3r and wanted something different to replace it. Specs are:

Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66GHz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - OEM
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard (broken)
OCZ Obsidian 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600Mhz Triple Channel Kit
Fractal Design Define R2 Midi Tower Case - Titanium Grey
Corsair H50-1 High-Performance CPU Watercooler
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply
Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM
Asus ATI Radeon HD 5770 CuCore 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Windows 7 Ultimate.

this is a good motherboard to replace it with yes

in the past i had the p6t se and p6t deluxe and both very good boards

beware though that this board, like many of the LGA1366 boards, is also susceptible to pin damage. You really must be very careful how you treat it during setup, only removing the pin protection cover when ready to install the cpu and lower it slowly and carefully into the socket. The Foxconn sockets used on most of these boards are notorious for increasing the likelyhood that damage might happen as they seem to exert a huge amount of force as you clamp down on the processor so you really must take extra care.

First one of these I got had to be returned due to pin damage, which I still can't believe I was actually responsible for as I couldn't have been more careful when setting it up, but searchig round the forums I realised how many people were having the same problems.

Second board has been great and can't fault it given the overall qualityand extras that come with it. As others have mentioned you can get an add-in board if or when you need usb3/sata6gbs and take advantage of a top quality board at an unbeatable price in the meantime that will overclock that 920 DO a treat.

Thanks guys, i stupidly got some thermal compound in the pins and then bent them when i tried to dab it off. I was furious with myself for about a week lol. Especially as im back to 512ram on my old machine.

this is an unbelievably cracking price, was looking for on 6 months ago and was around the 180 mark if I recall correctly!

Dave85 · 12 Jul 2010 at 17:02

Thinking of replacing my x58m with one of these seems like a bargain and will allow more room for my sli cards to breath.

rebel rebel · 12 Jul 2010 at 18:19

Just ordered one of these.
