Asus p6t-se

By Far my most favorite is the ASUS P6T-SE Mobo which i got a few weeks ago to replace my horrible Intel DX58SO that has failed so many times, and wouldnt hold a slight overclock.

So heres the amazing P6T-SE lol, not too high end looking with its Heatsinks and such, but it performs amazing for a 4.5GHz OC to an I7-940.

EP45-UD3P
Great layout, overclocks like a champ and is really easy to use.
It's had the q9550 E0 @4GHZ for over a year and a few months now.

Shou Miko · Nov 2, 2010

that's differently my GA-EP45-UD3P i use and have used for almost two years or something

and tomorrow i will recieve a MSI P55-GD85 i got as a baring so now i only need 4gb DDR3-12800 memory and a i3 cpu i think and that i hope this board will be a nice experience ^^

How can you upload pictures straight like that? I mean when I use "Manage Attachments" it always uploads a thumbnail which you need to click on. Thanks.

(FIH) The Don · Nov 2, 2010

use an upload service, copy the link, and wrap img tags on it

(FIH) The Don · Nov 5, 2010

Batou1986 · Nov 5, 2010

Gigabyte makes some awesome stuff my favs

My first GA-K8U-939

Current GA-EP45-UD3P V1.0

REDDLINE · Nov 6, 2010

Actually, i didnt think of this, i think one board that was better than my P6T-SE would be, BY FAR, the ABIT-IC7-G i bought 7 years ago for my Pentium 4 computer. i bought it 7 years ago and it still holds and overclock of 3.4GHz stable on air to this day, i may have built a new computer, but i still use this one and so does my dad everyday since we keep it downstairs in the living room.

And here it is.

Bow · Nov 6, 2010

See specs

overclocking101 · Nov 6, 2010

nice boards on here guys! my newest favorite is my p7p55D-deluxe its a damn slid board for sure! more solid then my evga p55 ftw i had and has 8 sata ports and capable 3 way sli/xfire no complaints at all, though my maximus extreme was my favorite board i punished it with dry ice over and over and it kept going, then i made the biggest mistake by dselling it! try getting one now, you cant.

Deleted member 84361 · Nov 9, 2010

Overclocked as hell, P3 866 @ 975, Highest MP, FSB 155 mhz, Stock intel cooler. :O

jfgwapo · Nov 9, 2010

ASUS P4P800 Deluxe, my first motherboard. I was able to OC my P4 2.4C Northwood to 3.2GHz all at stock voltage

qubit · Nov 9, 2010

Any Abit board from their heyday. Out of the ones I owned, I'd say the AI7 (Pentium 4) and AN8 Ultra (Athlon 64).

I liked the overclocking ability of course, but I especially liked the hardware monitoring and fan control options built into these boards. The AN8 was especially good and allowed you to connect an external hardware monitor and overclock tweak gadget via a custom port on the board. Abit have done the one and only implementation of this feature that I've ever seen, which is a shame. It was so innovative, I think today's manufacturers should do the same.

Oh, sod all that, I just liked the orange motherboard colour! :roll:

Millennium · Nov 9, 2010

Mine is deffo the Nforce K7n420 Pro, for the earlier Athlon XP processors. Why? Dolby digital output! From games! Wow that was cool.

Also it was red, overclocked nicely and just worked. Close second for me is it's Nforce 2 equivalent, which I also owned. I had two of those they were that good.

edit: 100th post! woot!
