ASUS P6T Deluxe Intel Core i7 Nehalem Motherboard Up Close and Personal

After Intel's Nehalem platform is no secret anymore, it's time to start looking at the motherboards that will support the new Socket 1366 buddies. One of them is ASUSTeK's upcoming P6T Deluxe mainboard based on Intel’s yet-to-be-released X58 Express, the first chipset to power the Socket 1366 Core i7 Nehalem processors. As part of the whole platform, the P6T Deluxe has a total of six DDR3 slots intended for triple-channel mode and three PCI-Express x16 slots with support for dual and triple video card configurations. It's too early to say which one, ATI's CrossFire, NVIDIA's SLI or both combos. Expect further information when the time comes. Meanwhile if you want to take a closer look at the motherboard please click here.

Wow a few changes to the way the PEG go in the slots,Those hooks remind me of the AGP 2 days with the self locks.Also the way they look beveled and what not,must be for heat?The board itself looks crowded around the cpu socket with all them caps,Must be that the new after market coolers will need to go straight up over them caps then surround the rest of the area(thinking the Cooler Master V8 ) also those pvrm coolers look way to high holy god overkill maybe? .

Looks allright, but why on earth does it still have a North Bridge?

I'm not sure but that's maybe the NVIDIA chip which will bring SLI support for the Socket 1366 era, but that's unconfirmed information yet

Like the new PEG hook in the end. Hate the current "standard" 1st slot side hook that gets always stuck when removing GPU. AGP style wasn't the greatest either, when longer cards came. The latch was under the card/cooler and sometimes impossile to reach.

Caps are no problem, current coolers already go over them in S775, like mine. Anything inside that pushpin area can't be higher than they are and aftermarket coolers are designed to be compatible.

omg 6 ddr3 sockets, that is freakin awesome! i hope the x58 chipset has just as good hopefully if not better memory support compared to its older extreme chipset buddies, i can just imagine an extreme core i7 cpu on this baby with 6 of hynix's new 16gb ddr3 modules, whatever flavour uber gfx cards aswell, i reckon game development will take a while before there able to pull a 'crysis' on these specs

also; im suprised and delighted that im seeing the next generation boards so soon

It would be nice, if this time around, there were a few more decent Intel single PCI-E x16 boards available that would be cheaper and more relevant to single slot enthusiasts.

I had wished they'd do something about the CPU cooler retention system, but we seem to be stuck with the push pin system. I'm looking forward to the official Core i7 release and test reviews tho.

I think you're right, because there are only 6 expansion slots that I see.

What is up with the red usb ports on the rear I/O

With that in mind, there will might be a first E-ATX if too many features are on the mobo.

I don't think it would be an issue at all. Almost anyone looking to buy this board, and the chip that goes with it, is gonna have a psu with an 8pin on it.

I eagerly await the boards that are Crossfire AND sli capable.

Umm, maybe you're referring to the crap they user on little landers and stuff like this http://ahtim.com/nasa-computer-specs-to-mars/

But, I think when most people refer to NASA computers, they mean the supercomputers like this http://www.nas.nasa.gov/Resources/Systems/pleiades.html

Edit: And 12gb is nothing compared to what's in systems like that.

"Memory

* Type - DDR2 FB-DIMMs
* 1GB per core, 8GB per node
* Total Memory - 20 TB"
