UPDATE 6/5/2014
DON'T ABANDON YOUR X58 JUST YET!
i thought about getting a x79 or the new haswell, however i recently found out i didn't have to! i recently upgraded to the xeon x5650 hexacore and have seen significant result.
with a modest easy oc to 4ghz
and wallah! instant ivy bridge performance!
with the x5650 being 80-90 USD it is very affordable and far more economic compare to upgrading to a new platform.
if you own one or curious of buying one or just interested in general. post here! POST YOUR P6X58D BUILD TODAY WITH PICS!
during my stay on this forum i seen couple p6x58d posts here and there. really scattered and doubt anyone would find them all. so why not make it into a collective/informative thread. cheers!

P6X58D-E Only has 1 Gigabit LAN controller Marvell 88E8056® While P6X58D Premium has 2.
P6X58D-E doesnt have the RESET button on the motherboard while the P6X58D Premium has, but both have the POWER and MEMOK buttons.
P6X58D-E also doesnt come with 1 x Optional Fan for water-cooling or passive-cooling while P6X58D Premium does.
"The Premium has 2 additonal heatpipes for cooling (1 to the Southbridge and 1 above the Northbridge) whereas the E version does not have this."
I hope this will answer some questions to some people who want to know what are the differences between those two motherboards.

RAM NOT WORKING? OR ISN'T DISPLAYING THE CORRECT AMOUNT? READ BELOW.

Originally Posted by xmisery source ================================================== ============= This thread is a basic troubleshooting guide users who have memory detection issues. For example the motherboard is only detecting 4 GBs instead of 6 GBs or 8 GBs instead of 12GBs. This issue is fairly common on Intel X58 based systems and affects all brands of motherboards. X58 is Intel's first platform with the memory controller built into the CPU. Good contact between the CPU and the socket pins is very important and bad contact is usually the cause of "missing" memory as well as other causes listed here: Poorly fitted CPU cooler ( too much tension, not enough tension, uneven tension) Fix: Adjust tension of aftermarket cooler, Test with stock cooler, reseat CPU and cooler. *Most people fix the problem just by reseating the cpu and cooler* Bent CPU socket pins. (damaged board, poor installation, poor cooler tension, uneven pressure etc) Fix: Inspect CPU socket for bent pins, some users have been able to straighten the bent pins and solve the problem. Otherwise if its too badly damaged you might need to RMA the board. (Note: Asus might refuse RMA if bent pins were caused by user) Faulty ram Fix: Test each stick individually( in slot A1) to see if it boots. Run memtest. Test with another memory kit if possible. Insufficient voltage Fix: Set "Dram bus voltage" to 1.64v (or whatever your memory spec says) and set QPI/Dram voltage to max 1.35v (Max 1.35v is recommended for users with 12 Gigs and/or running at speeds of 1600Mhz or higher. If running under 1600Mhz with 6 Gigs you may only need 1.25v QPI/Dram voltage. Another option is to set XMP profile in the bios. Wrong windows version: Fix: Some new builders are unaware of limitations using 32 bit Windows. Windows 32 bit can only recognize and address under 4 GBs of system memory. Install 64 bit version of windows. Short Circuit: (with some aftermarket coolers/cases) Fix: The backplate of some aftermarket coolers touch the motherboard tray causing a short circuit. Test with stock cooler or make adjustments. Faulty motherboard Fix: Least likely cause but if all other fixes have been tried RMA the motherboard Some notes for people using 12 Gigs of memory. 12 Gigs of memory is only supported at 800-1333Mhz. Some users can run 1600Mhz successfully with some voltage tweaking but 1333Mhz is the max supported speed using 12 gigs. I hope that helps. If anyone wants me to add something let me know. ================================================== ============= |
