I'm building a PC that will work in hot environment. Tom's hardware boards roundup shows that Asus P6T board runs extremely hot comparing to other boards. The P6T SE however seems to run at normal temperature according to Tom's roundup.
This is strange because the boards are supposed to be almost identical. I would prefer the P6T over the SE because of the SLI, but the heat issue is a concern. Does anybody have an idea whether the P6T heat results in Tom's roundup make any sense ?
