Benchmark Results: Synthetic
3DMark hands EVGA’s X58 3X SLI a lead that’s so small most readers won’t be able to see it in the charts.
PCMark prefers the P6T, while the TPower X58’s inability to run our memory at DDR3-1866 pushes it to the bottom.
Putting aside any differences in base clock, Sandra’s CPU test should be a great indicator of any BIOS affect on Intel Turbo mode implementation.
Of course base clock is important too, so Asus and MSI take first and second place in Sandra’s Arithmetic and Multimedia benchmarks. The boards with the lowest base clock, the X58 SuperComputer and LANParty DK X58-T3eH6 fall to the bottom.
With its slightly overclocked base clock, the P6T leads in memory bandwidth. Unable to run our RAM at its full timings, the X58 Platinum SLI falls to the middle in spite of its higher-than-standard clock. Biostar’s TPower X58 memory bandwidth shows the handicap of its required DDR3-1600 setting.

That more on the topic is annoying - Look ma nothing about the topic - just links to older stories that have nothing to do with the last 21 pages.
Mobos - Why so many fails? glad I've not reason to upgrade for a while.
"The floppy cable appears to be a thoughtful addition, except that the motherboard doesn’t have a floppy interface."
Hilarious!
Ive had some bad experiences with motherboards xD Next time I upgrade Im going straight for an Asus rampage or something incredibly expensive, its worth it
Interesting article. I made a good choice on purchasing an ASUS. I have the deluxe version of the p6t and it serves me well... I have noticed that the benchmark results for 3d mark vantage, Foxconn should be in first then EVGA.
Has AsRock gotten back to you (Tom's Hardware) on the x58 Super Computer overclocking failure's reason? I'm on my 2nd AsRock [after Conroe DVI 1333, x48 Twin Turbo Wi-Fi) both very good and has served me well for 1/3 of the price of 3 x failing Asus SEI & SEII and I was just about to go for the AsRock x58 Super Computer when I happen upon this review, so you can imagine I am very keen to know the reasons behind the catastrophic failures of this mobo.
