Well at all stock settings it looks like the P6T wins. YAAAAY I made a good decision Im sure they are all fine and those are some bogus OC's. Sure mine can hit 3.8 by just changing the voltage but I am sure all the other ones can too.

Also the P6T has issues with sleeping. Mine does not sleep and recover correctly. I bet they forgot to mention that. Other than that, I love my board. Cheap and OC's like hell.

I have basically the same board and love it. Simple and effective, reliable and oc's like a beast. Not a ton of swag and bling unlike my rampage extreme which I prefer.

Sounds like a BIOS issue to me, but good to know for those prospective buyers.

If the vanilla P6T does as well as they claim it does, I wonder how the deluxe version would stack up. 8x2 phase CPU power on the non-deluxe vs. the 16x2 phase for the deluxe....
