The ASUS P6T Deluxe

The ASUS P6T Deluxe is a full ATX motherboard that looks positively congested with components! Take a look at the layout. This board measures 12" x 9.6" (30.5 cm x 24.4 cm) so you will need a full-sized ATX case for a comfortable fit.

The first thing that stands out is the copper heatpipe snaking across the motherboard, connecting four heatsinks. This is a passive cooler but an optional fan was included in the package that would effective turn it into an active cooler. We will take a closer look at the other components but first, let's take a look at its full specifications :
