Now let’s see what good words we can find about the ASUS P6X58D-E. First off, its packaging is robust and informative. The accessories are richer than what you get with many other mainboards, but without any extras. The PCB design is clever and practic...
The and Asus P5X58D-E are very similar to each other in terms of price, features and performance. The D-E has a few things going in its favour though, such as its extra on-board overclocking features, friendly BIOS, extra power phases and slightly sup...
We have now taken a look at two of ASUS's high end motherboards, both of which ended up performing and overclocking relatively equal to each other. The P6X58D-E happens to be a heck of lot cheaper, so why shell $380 USD for the Rampage 3 Extreme? Well ...
Abstract: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R and ASUS P6X58D-E review - Conclusion Author: Luka Rakamaric Date: 11 Aug 2010 We must say that the 1366 platform had little to offer to an average buyer, as the 1156 offers just a tad slower performance for a lower price. Multi GPU configurations and workstations with high memory requirements were practically the only ones that really needed the 1366. With Intel’s introduction of six core CPUs exclusively for 1366, this platform got another plus to its side. Not so much right now, as the CPUs are incredibly expensive when compared to their four core siblings, but as an upgrade. However, you have to have in mind that the 5 series of chipsets will be the only one using the current sockets, while the next generation X68 will switch to four memory channels and a new socket. Cheap motherboards (cheap in the X58 world) certainly do work. They deliver as promised, and can do almost anything the most expensive ones can. With both you’ll have the latest connectors, huge amounts of..
Updated features compared to original X58 boards including True USB 3 and SATA 6Gb/s, Gulftown ready, Excellent price
None
Though the X58 chipset has really not changed in the nearly two years since its introduction, technology has of course moved on. Besides Intel’s 32nm process, which made the Gulftown six-core i7 980X processor possible, USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s’ release...
Good Quality, USB 3, SATA 3, RAID support on the SATA 3 controller, Good overclockability, Stable, Great layout
Nothing
During my testing of the P6X58D-E motherboard I was not all that disappointed with its performance. I tend to look at three main characteristics when it comes to reviewing motherboards. One of these three characteristics I look at is, how is the layou...
The ASUS P6X58D-E certainly lives up to its moniker as an enthusiast LGA1366 motherboard, and is actually very similar to the P6X58D Premium that we previously tested. Some minor tweaks notwithstanding, the major differences here are the inclusion of U...
SATA 6 Gbps supprt, USB 3.0 support, Multi-GPU support for SLI and CrossFireX, Onboard power and CMOS clear buttons, Memory boot compatibility button on motherboard (MemOK!), Overclocking is extremely easy, BIOS is rich with tweaking options to allow for optimal performance
No eSATA port provided (on rear panel or via expansion bracket), IDE has been retired (which is fine unless your hanging on to an IDE optical drive), Extensive number of BIOS features could easily overwhelm you
The ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard offers everything you would expect from an Intel X58 motherboard, plus a few extras to really add to its appeal. Inclusion of an NEC USB 3.0 controller and a Marvell SATA 6Gbps controller make sure your high speed storage...

So has this cut-price model cut the performance too or is it quite the bargain?Unquestionably, as our results indicate, it's a bargain.Starting with the looks, it reminds us a lot of the earlier Rampage models. It's nice to see a motherboard from ASUS tha...
