air to the throne
Pros: Moves a LOT of air.Cooled my system by about 12 degrees.The only issue I had in my case was the graphics cards.They were running a little warmer than I wanted,well, until I got this fan.
Cons: Dangerous.Be careful and treat this fan with the same respect you would a samurai sword-both serve their purpose but if used the wrong way can deliver pain(bad comparison-but You get the point.Packaging was dookey to say the least.Very loud.Drowns out the sound of everything.So loud,I have to yell to talk to my girl friend.
Overall Review: You will need a high wattage /per channel fan controller. This thing takes a couple seconds to get rolling SO DO NOT INITIALLY CRANK THE FAN CONTROLLER UP ALL THE WAY.I found out the hard way even after I read all the reviews.I figured I could turn the controller up a third of the way-uh uh-it almost destroyed my fan controller($18.99 Scythe fan controller).Make sure you buy a fan controller that can handle at least 20w/channel but to utilize this beast you need a fan controller thats rated at 45w/channel or higher.It will cost you about 35 -50 dollars but in the end it is worth it.This guy is a complete system cooler
re review
Pros: Was decent while worked.Again this board still has nice features.Can still find "pros" about this board even when it has not been reliable.
Cons: just posted a review about this board earlier today.I am now reporting that this is the second failure with this P6T6.The first had dead USB ports now this one is plain out dead.I really put in a lot of effort giving this motherboard the benefit of the doubt.Well,Asus,I tried to give your Asus Workstation P6T6 Revolution a chance,twice and we were not meant to be.
Overall Review: Every one has a bad review of the Gigabyte X58A-UD9.I have that in my main build for my gaming rig.The Asus was going to go into my HTPC.The Asus was a left over board from an upgrade.In my opinion Asus motherboards are not for me.I done many builds for family and friends and I have only had issues with Asus.Other components have been fine.I have had some to work,but my percentage with Asus is untollerable.This was an RMA I got.Alot of people are having issues with replacement boards.I will be sticking with Gigabyte and EVGA or even MSI.Dont let this review be mis-leading.In no way am I bashing Asus as a company.I just had a bad time with 4 motherboards in the last year.4 out of 6 bad ones in my opinion is unacceptable.
Placement
Pros: Enough extras on the board for most power users to be happy with.
Cons: My issue is with the placement of the PCI Express x1 slot.if you populate the slot with the included soundcard then you can't fit a graphics card in the top slot.Major con especially to users who want 3-way SLI and to use a soundcard.Most of these motherboards have this issue.But this is supposed to Asus.A quality mother board maker with Top Of The Line Lay Outs.
Overall Review: Asus get your act together.We love you and your products very much.You just need to pay better attention to detail.It's the small things that us geeks nit-pick about,it's also the small things that make me pick an Aus board or an MSI.
Awesome
Pros: If anyone has any questions about the performance of this card>check out the benchmarks in Maximum PC magazine.This chip is the real deal.
Cons: no cons really>no heatsink>so what..spend money for an aftermarket..get the new 3 fan Zalman
Overall Review: Spend the money>and receive a monster.
PEASE READ>>>>
Pros: see other thoughts
Cons: see other thoughts
Overall Review: Make sure your case will hold this motherboard because it is not standard ATX.......
horrible...simply horrible
Pros: not gonna waste my time on a long review...that is how bad this game is.
Cons: For $36 I could get Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and Bioshock2 and still have a few dollars left over plus a way better playing experience.......
Overall Review: The developers need to just hang it up...I am sure they got many E-mails stating how bad of a game this is.Its so bad it makes you angry...usually I laugh at the in-ability to make a good game but this one simply makes you think"did they make this game to make people mad"It's that bad..believe me..I have tried to play it all the way through but stopped everytime...there is not enough to make me continue on to the end...I would rather spend my valuable time doing something(anything else).
