That particular issue hadn't come up prior to testing. We'll have to see what we can do about getting the author some digital speakers or a digital receiver headset to test for such issues in the future. So no switching between surround sound and headphones without changing settings in the audio control software. One unfortunate aspect of this mobo, however is that it cannot output digital audio and analog audio at the same time.
#BEST LGA 1366 MOTHERBOARD WINDOWS#
I was able to get Windows XP to boot off of a mirrored RAID without needing the floppy and the initial setup went very quickly. InversedIt seems odd to have skipped mentioning the Gigabyte EX58's driver-less RAID capability. All the boards also used high-quality electrical components, which means a reliability test would require years to reveal any differences. Using lower speeds increases stability and reliability, and you just cannot exceed "100% Stability". Good suggestions, but the problem is that all these boards were stable and built for reliability when overclocked. Temporary87654When you review the less-expensive X58 boards, I'd appreciate it if you would evaluate them in terms of which is the likely to be the most stable, most reliable, and most problem-free non-overclocked board. I might have chosen "Mobos" myself when encountered with such an issue, but they don't like using slang in titles. To determine part numbers for the ASUS P6T SE motherboard, we use best guess approach based on CPU model, frequency and features. You're right: I belive the word "Platform" was substituted by another editor to make the title shorter, so it would fit better in the headline bar. Wdmso"Intel X58 Roundup: Six $300+ Platforms Compared " this title will lead some less informed readers that they can get the cpu memory and MB for 300.00.It should read "Intel X58 Roundup: Six $300+ Motherboards Compared"the title is misleading
