This board is exactly the same as the Asus P6X58D-E, but without built-in RAID support.
With the LGA1366 socket, up to 6-core Intel Core i7 processors can be installed in the P6X58D motherboard. Gamers can utilize 3 PCI-E slots at x16/x8/x8 in SLI mode with NVIDIA graphics cards. Next generation Serial ATA is also supported, giving users approximately double the performance of the previous generation. The USB 3.0 connection is approximately 10 times as fast with data rates reaching 4.8 Gbps. For those interested in overclocking, a 16+2 phase power design has been implemented, which enhances power stability and lowers temperatures simultaneously. Up to 24 GB of triple channel DDR3 memory is supported, and can be overclocked to 2000 MHz.
