Hardware Asus P6X58D Premium Motherboard Review

Thanks for the info some of it works, but still unstable at 4.2 wile trying to play call of duty black ops seem to get game locks and also system fails not all the time though. I do have a question is it better to run all ram slots full are just 3? are does it matter? using dominator 6gb 1600 I have done quite a few system and HD test all comes back fine I'm using bios 1301.

 

The manual, which I can't find since I finally cleaned off my desk so I can find things when I need them (Dammit!), lists all the various compatible ram configurations.
I own a 930 but have never used it. Same with a 950. All I really know is that the 920 I've been running at 4.4MHz. for the last 6 months, is completely stable 24 x 7. When it comes to cpu's, they are as individual as people. I got very lucky with my 920. My others could very well be lemons as could be yours. If your cpu won't stabilize then there's at least a 90% chance that it is NOT your motherboard or memory at fault. It's either your, very individual, cpu or you. There's a slight chance that there's something wrong with your power supply but if it's been powering your system so far I would rule that out and just be looking for another cpu on sale somewhere, IF you really think that you need the extra few MHz.
How are your temps.? Mine became perfectly stable only after I installed a Corsair H70 liquid cooled cpu cooler. My next 2 builds, already in progress, are going to have full watercooling systems. I'm also looking for a cheap, steady supply of liquid nitrogen or dry ice for some suicide runs. No luck, so far. Strange, that. Since I live in a fishing community I thought dry ice would be easy to find.

 

Hey, thanks for the info, the power supply is a 910/80+ pc power and supply. The system will do 4.2 on different setting I got from and it seemed to work at 4.0 also with some voltage adjustments 4.2.

Well I guess this is all the 930 will do I'm not ready to push the voltage pass the 1.376 it seems crazy to keep raising cpu voltage to get it stable, then you deal with heat. BUT i do have a dryer hose connected to a ac vent that i connected to the H50 in the back of the tower that helps keep it cooler, and works great for now. quick question how does the H70 work compared to the H50? also I'm running 2 gtx480's in sli and a gt 240 for physic in a HAF X cooler master case, 3 ssd 80 in raid and 1TB 7200 RPM for storage. So a lot of stuff in this system including a creative HD sound card so it is full up, almost...

 

That's a very good guide!
The P6X58D are very solid (to a certain point of course...)

 

I'm glad I could point you in the right direction but thanks to xmisery and BlackDragon24 of overclock.net for these settings! I can't imagine what someone has to go through to come up with all these settings.
This is truly one of the best motherboards ever from ASUS or anyone else. I'm not so sure about the "E" version of this mobo. I don't own one but I've read that they are nowhere near as stable as the "Premium" version and the "E" also just loves extra voltage.
Anyone contemplating one of these boards, do yourself a favor and drop the extra cash for the "Premium" version. It certainly isn't late in the game for the X58 platform and this specific motherboard will be up and running, excellently, for years to come.
