I had to return the first one I purchased because it would not recognize the A1 RAM slot. I tried switching the RAM modules around and also tried another brand of RAM; same issue. I also tried tweaking the BIOS; no luck. The replacement board is working fine so far.
This is a quality control issue with this board….look this model up under the subject line within the Asus forum on their website and you’ll see that failure to recognize RAM installed on the board is a problem that many buyers have experienced. Hopefully my replacement board will continue to work, but after the problem with the first one I’m worried and wish I had gone with another brand. I had to unhook everything, including un-installing and cleaning the CPU/CPU cooler, to return it. Of course, then I had to put everything back together again with the replacement….what a pain.
I have a friend that ordered the Asus Rampage and it worked fine, so if you want to go with Asus I would try that model or another one and shy away from the P6T Deluxe V2. It’s just not worth the gamble that you might end up with one of the defective boards.
I contacted Asus via email regarding the problem with the first (defective) one and got a copy/paste, stock answer, telling me “Typically memory issues are cause by either bad RAM or the motherboard not auto-detecting the correct memory timmings. Sometimes manually setting the CAS Latency timmings will correct the issue.”
Don’t believe it; this was/is an Asus manufacturing issue that they need to correct. The exact same setup on the second board worked fine. I only wish I had read the comments on this model in the Asus forum before I made my purchasing decision. I am writing this review so maybe you’ll be more fortunate.

I got this board else where 4 months ago when I sold my Q6600 motherboard and ram to go I7. This is a good board, overclocks very nicely. Didn’t have a issue of getting my I7 920 to 4ghz. I didnt have any missing memory or other memory issues.

After a bit of research, all the reviews on this board indicated it was great and just the thing for me. Board was very easy to install, however, when I powered up, nothing happened. An ASUS technician told me the board’s BIOS was incompatible with the CPU (Intel Core I-7, 920#. Replaced the board and powered up only to find the SATA ports were defective #would not detect any internal drives). EXPRESS GATE is impressive. I plugged two external drives simltaneously into the USB ports and had no problems viewing/editing photos. It was so impressive that I intend to try a third board. Amazon responded within minutes when I informed them and replaced the board a week before promised.

Easy setup and loads of options. It has everything you need to configure a fine system.

I am a 1st time overclocker and this mobo has made it easy! I am running an i7-920 @ 3.5 ghz rock solid for more than a year on this mobo. You can’t go wrong with this, my compliments to ASUS for the best mobo I have ever owned. And I have had quite a few, but this is my 1st ASUS.
