Overclocking
Testing Bench:
- Intel Core i7 920 Processor
- ASUS P6T Motherboard
- Kingwin MACH 1 700 W Power Supply
- Corasair Dominator DDR3 PC-12800 1600 MHz
Despite the fact that the ASUS P6T is a more or less a budget motherboard, (in comparison to others at least) it delivered uncompromising results. I was able to overclock the Core i7 920 up to 4.0 GHz from its stock frequency of 2.66 GHz while leaving the voltage set on “Auto”. The RAM also proved to be highly overclockable as it soared up 100 MHz from its original 1600 MHz.

Conclusion
The performance of this board was nothing short of solid and at a price tag of $239.99 (after mail in rebates) from newegg.com you just can not go wrong. The P6T is also one of the few motherboards at its price range that support 2000 MHz RAM speeds. If you are planning to enter into the Core i7 market, ASUS should definitely be at the top of your considerations list.
