ASUSTeK COMPUTER P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 Intel Motherboard

first attempt to flash bios with new version , supporting intel i7 DO batch ended in bricked mobo, good thing is that BIOS replacement chip is avaliable on ebay for 20$
Search on google confirms it's a quite common problem .Other than that - mobo looks nice and is overloaded with features that most computer users will never need

Runs great - IF you can convince it to POST!
So far I have had to reset the CMOS every time I start it and then reset the BIOS settings to my preferences to get it to POST and boot.
Bought it Open Box so I saved money, but this is getting to be a hassle.
Would probably have a toygh time recommending this MB to anyone else.

I'd give any Refurb 4 out of five since they don't come with an I/O shield or install disc but that's the way everyone does it not really negative. But not this one. For the price it would almost be greedy to expect more.

Pro

The board works so good that I'm RMAing my older Gigabyte board because I have Zero doubt it had issues now. Even when I get it back, I'm selling it. This board is sweet and did I mention I like its price. The voltages aren't all over the place like GB board. The board makes no noises and things that used to crash, doesn't anymore. This board can run my out of spec OCZ PC3-1600 that needs 1.65v without problems. In fact I'm going back to slower PC3 1333 because without Benchmarks I couldn't tell any difference.

Cons
Still a great price after I paid another $15 for an I/O shield. That's why it still stayed a 5 and not a 4. Thanks to online manuals, no thanks to drivers being blocked WTF? One unidentified part in the Device Manager. I hope it is just the SMBios or something.

I told my friends about this great deal and I'm sure the rest will not last that long.

I have bought 3 of these and even though they have allot of options everyone has gone bad. I am RMA'ing my third one now as I right this reveiw. They are out of the limelight now and the 1156 boards are the way to go unless you want huge power and then the 1366 is for you and EVGA is the best as far as this class goes in my opinion.
