P6T vs P6T Deluxe V2

[Elrogos]

Hi,

Im building a i7 system and my first chose was the P6T, but after a bit of researching , I've read that P6T gets very hot and has quite bad PCIe aligment for SLI (slots are too close). On the other side, Deluxe V2 only has 2 PCIe, but with 2-3 slots between cards; also I've read that its better for OCing the processor (Im not really going to extreme OC it, just about 3.3 ~ 3.6 Ghz).

So, I can get a V2 Deluxe for about a 40€ increase, and though Im not doing SLI at build, might consider it later. You think it is worth the money?

Thanks

I was trying to decide the same thing a few weeks ago. In the end I decided on the P6T Deluxe V2 and I am very happy with it.

All the problems you mentioned with the p6t (besides overlocking problems) I have run into, but besides the sli card spacing, none have been limitating problems (ie I wanted to try 3 way sli but due to heat with 2 way I will never try it). But would theses issues have been non-issues if I would have bought a p6t deluxe v2? I don't know. All in all it's a great board. But if I did it over again I would spend the extra $30 (in my case) on the deluxe v2.

If you are going to use the PCI express 1x slot, then you should go for P6T Deluxe V2
