To Get the Best, Start with Xtreme Design

Superior design from the ground up ASUS True 16+2 Phase Power Design
The P6X58D-E is built based on the groundbreaking 16+2 phase VRM design. The 16+2 phase power design, 16-phase for vCore and extra 2-phase for Memory controller inside CPU, can provide the highest power efficiency, and hence generates less heat to effectively enhance the overclocking capability. With the high quality power components such as low RDS (on) MOSFETs, Ferrite core chokes with lower hysteresis loss and 100% Japan-made high quality conductive polymer capacitors, ASUS 16+2 phase VRM design also ensure longer component life and minimum power loss.

Up to 36°F (20°C) Cooler - Stack Cool 3+
Stack Cool 3+ is a fanless cooling solution offered exclusively by ASUS. By embedding 2 ounces of copper in its PCB and also extra layers of PBC, it effectively and noiselessly transfers heat generated by the critical components to the other side of the specially designed PCB (printed circuit board) for effective heat dissipation - making temperatures cooler by up to 36°F/20°C.

32nm - 6-core Intel CPU Ready
The P6X58D-E is also ready for the next generation 32nm, 6-core Intel CPUs. With Xtreme Phases and the Stack Cool 3+ combined, you can expect an even lower system temperature and more performance from the new 6-core processors.

TRUE USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gb/s Performance

Latest in storage solution True SATA 6Gb/s Support
Supporting next-generation Serial ATA (SATA) storage interface, this motherboard delivers up to 6.0Gb/s data transfer rates. Additionally, get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, and double the bandwidth of current bus systems.

True USB 3.0 Support
The first motherboard to be officially certified by the USB-IF to support USB 3.0 technology, the P6X58D-E gives you the latest in peripheral connectivity standard for an ultra-fast data transfer at 4.8Gbps. Built to connect easily with next generation components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10X faster and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components.

With TRUE USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gb/s, your ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard can transfer movies, music, and backup files up to 50% faster.

Quick and Super-Precise Tuning

Micro tuning intervals Whether you are a first time overclocker or trying to break the next world record, you will appreciate the comprehensive yet simple to use overclocking tools that comes with the P6X58D-E.

Fitted with the super-precise TurboV program, you can easily boost your CPU and system performance - in real-time.

This advanced overclocking tool provides micro-adjustment intervals for key components' voltages and frequency, allowing fine-tuning to be twice as precise than other solution. The easy to use interface provides tuning capability for the CPU PPL, NB, NB-PCIe, and DRAM voltages in 0.02v intervals. The extra fine adjustments is able to provide you with optimized performance while achieving rock solid stability.

Once the desired overclocking settings have been achieved, you can save the settings into preset profiles for quick and easy switching between presets for instant overclocking or power saving.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Watch out! No eSata on this board., December 11, 2010

    This review is from: ASUS Socket 1366/Intel X58/SATA3&USB3.0/A&GbE/ATX Motherboard P6X58D-E (Personal Computers)
    I happen to use eSata external drives quite a bit. Amazon's comparison chart indicates that this board has an eSata port in the back. IT DOES NOT. This is not the end of the world but for a board of this caliber, I didn't even think for a minute it wouldn't have eSata. Even the older P6T had it. But thank goodness it still has a PS2 connection for my 12-year-old Dell keyboard from back when I was in college! Just kidding...seriously Asus, in your newest version you got rid of IDE, floppy connections and eSata but you hold on to a PS2 connection?? Who actually makes these decisions? All in all an excellent motherboard. I really can't understand why anyone would need a second LAN port and pay a 70-dollar premium for the "premium" version of this product. So for most builders this is an awesome product for a very reasonable price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great motherboard, July 12, 2010

    This review is from: ASUS Socket 1366/Intel X58/SATA3&USB3.0/A&GbE/ATX Motherboard P6X58D-E (Personal Computers)
    Asus makes great motherboards and this new P6X58D-E follows suit. It is the little brother of the P6X58D Premium but all you get with the premium is an extra LAN port and Asus Express Gate which is an OS embedded into the BIOS. I think those are the only differences...

    Things I like:

    USB 3.0

    SATA III

    Integrated 7.1 Audio

    Looks great

    Things I don't like:

    I would've liked a few more SATA ports, there are 8 but most cases have rooms for 10 drives.

    Overall this is a great board. It was between this and one from Gigabyte. Both are great

    This review is from: ASUS Socket 1366/Intel X58/SATA3&USB3.0/A&GbE/ATX Motherboard P6X58D-E (Personal Computers)
    I really like this motherboard. My first experience with the ASUS bios, took 5 minutes to overclock it to a modest 3.3 GHz with an I7 930 which is stable with the default VCore 1.2v. Construction and layout is outstanding. Look forward to clocking it higher. Included disk had links to online drivers and useful software like latest chipset drivers, Intel Matrix Storage manager. No complaints, this is a great board.
