ASUS P6T X58 Deluxe OC Palm

Have you ever heard the term: "We don't play; we went to private school because they didn't have recess!"? The term while somewhat colloquial in origin refers to individuals and/or corporate entities that have an extremely strong and impressive work ethic that yields a profound end result. We at Benchmark Reviews have often felt that a term of this type would be analogous with computer component manufacturers such as ASUS. A perfect example of what we are talking about was the recent launch of the Intel i7 processor family coupled with motherboards utilizing the Intel X58 chipset. While some manufacturers were able to meet or in some cases even beat the launch date with a single motherboard that supported this new technology, ASUS had four similar yet different boards essentially ready for unveiling well before the launch date. Pretty impressive we'd say!

After a very extensive testing phase, Benchmark Reviews will today present its findings with regard to the ASUS P6T Deluxe X58 motherboard. Before getting into the meat of our review there are a few facts about the versions of this board that we'd like to share. The ASUS P6T Deluxe X58 motherboard actually comes in two editions: 1) The P6T Deluxe edition which includes the motherboard and a bevy of accessories; and 2) The P6T Deluxe OC Palm edition which includes all of the items from the Deluxe edition plus the OC Palm device. With the ASUS OC Palm device which is a small side monitor, you can perform overclocking functions; and monitor system temperatures and fan speeds. The OC Palm also supports the Yahoo! Widgets feature for online displays of real-time info like weather, stock prices and web-mail alerts.

We should clarify that P6T Deluxe edition and the P6T OC Palm edition were considered as one product of the four that ASUS had ready for prime time on launch day. Our review today will encompass not only the features of the P6T Deluxe but those that the OC Palm monitoring interface brings to the table.
