This extreme OC tool lets you set new ambitions on the OC stage with an advanced and easy-to-use interface - allowing you to overclock without exiting or rebooting the OS. With micro adjustments of the CPU PLL, NB, NB-PCIe, and DRAM voltages in 0.02v intervals, there are no limits - only extreme results to break new OC records!
ASUS Exclusive Features
ASUS EPU
System Level Energy Saving The new ASUS EPU - the world´s first power saving engine, has been upgraded to a new six engine version, which provides total system power savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes the CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, drives and system fan), the EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via intelligent acceleration and overclocking - helping save power and money.

Reviews from the Web
Below are reviews found on other web sites for this product submitted by customers.
The P6X58D-E is a very good all-around board that is more than capable of satisfying most consumers that need something stable, feature-rich, and won't break the bank.
The ASUS P6X58D-E demonstrated that it delivers system performance as good or better than competing X58-Express solutions, including the more expensive P6X58D-Premium model.
There's no doubting that the ASUS P6X58D-E is a tremendous board. It has features to rival more expensive boards and rather than compromising on performance and overclockability, ASUS has removed others less useful features to reach its current price point.

This is the first computer I've self-built in quite a while, but have typically gone with ASUS in the past and I am extremely glad I did. The board layout is good, with plenty of room for large graphics cards. It was extremely easy to install and even easier to setup, with on-board lights indicating RAM compatibility and boot errors. Highly recommend.

Purchased one of these for a from scratch build less then a year ago. After a couple of months it wouldn't boot anymore and fried my SSD drive. Asus sent me a replacement (had to argue that their website states Canada is included in their special warranty program). Now less then 4 months later the replacement has crapped out and wont boot anymore.

This was my first build from scratch so I wanted a good board that is fast and reliable. I did my due diligence and came up with this board. I have to say that I am thrilled. I bought all the related parts which were available for pickup the same day I ordered - I like that, hate to wait you know...
Lots of OC tweeking options whether you want to set them in the BIOS or just go on the fly with the TurboV app. Well laid out board and was easy to put together.
Bought this case for a game rig and couldn't be happier. It has performed to all the specifications I expected, and is stable just like all ASUS boards. Has a good option layout in bios lot's of tweaks.

Was debating between this and the Sabertooth to pair with my i7 960. I ended up going with this for the overclocking features and could not be happier. Played around with OCing my CPU and RAM before reverting everything back to default settings for longevity. If you plan on OCing an i7 in the future then this is the board to get. Otherwise, get the cheaper Sabertooth.

overall really good board. works with 950 flawlessly. nice blue and black colour scheme. back panel only has 4 usb 2.0 slots. the onboard audio sucks but expected in most boards

I have pushed an i7 970 to 4.2ghz with this puppy. I cant get the bclk higher than 210. I have settled with 200bclk to keep stability. Great price on this amazing board. I would recommend this board to anyone.

Love this MB, bought it on sale during xmas and have had no problems with it so far. I really love the overclocking system where u can overclock it almost instantly.

I have just completed the single nicest looking build I've done yet... SO pretty! Aside from the great cable management of the HAF 932 case it's in, much of the credit goes to the ASUS. The layout is perfection. All the cords are hidden because of this. Also, even with a massive Noctua on it, you could fit 6 sticks of RAM that were a foot tall. BIOS features are great as usual with ASUS. I've always had ASUS MBs but almost went with the Giga Ud3R this time. Glad I got this.
