Apocolypse007 · Nov 14, 2008, 03:55 PM

LOL

There are ways, and there are people that get them first.....

I seen one in action over a month ago...

ap4lifetn · Nov 14, 2008, 04:22 PM

I had a Q6600 @ 3.6GHz, X38 Formula, HD4870 running XP, this feels like it has a faster response, but that could be just my imagination as its been a few months since I used the Q6600. Ive been on my tablet in my system specs so this feels like light years ahead.

I shall take some tonight for you guys while I take it apart to do some wire management.

I like ASUS boards, they're familiar and reliable, plus their color scheme isn't wacked. I wish the P6T supported TRI-SLI, had a little better spacing of PCI/PCI-E slots, but unless you use every slot ull be alright. I am only using PCI slot for my wireless adapter.

I gotta go to class now lol, ill remember to take some pics tonight from my new HTC TOUCH PRO ^^ (death to iphone)

p6t doesn't support tri?

ap4lifetn · Nov 14, 2008, 04:23 PM

No the 2 bottom PCI-E slots are too close to each other, you can't fit a dual slot GPU in there, you can do crossfireX but not TRI-SLI, only the Rampage is TRI-SLI

freaksavior · Nov 14, 2008, 04:31 PM

ok, rampage is my next board then

i love the looks of the P6T but i want tri sli as an option

single slot cards wouldn't work?

That's when waterblocks come into play

ap4lifetn · Nov 14, 2008, 06:43 PM

the P6T only supports SLI, triple nvidia single slot cards won't work

The manual only talks about CrossFireX and regular SLI

freaksavior · Nov 14, 2008, 06:45 PM

hmm. ok. gotcha.

msgclb · Nov 14, 2008, 08:16 PM

I got my ASUS P6T today but it looks like I'll have to wait until Tuesday before my Core i7 920 is delivered. I've also got a Termalright LGA1366 kit for my Ultra-120. My memory will be the Patriot Viper 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800 CL 9-9-9-24 kit that should be delivered Monday.

I've got some new batteries for my camera so I might take a few pictures.

Morgoth · Nov 14, 2008, 08:19 PM

freaksavior · Nov 14, 2008, 08:59 PM
