On initial looks, the P6X58D-E sports all the features we have been accustomed to see on other high-end ASUS motherboards. For a start, the board supports 3-way SLI and Quad-GPU CrossfireX with the use of two ATI HD5970s. Other features present include the TurboV application for easy overclocking and with a true 16+2 phase power design, we can immediately see that ASUS haven't compromised on this front. With growing emphasis on green solutions, the EPU power saving engine has also been implemented to intelligently moderate a range of components. A welcomed addition is ASUS's Express Gate utility, an exclusive operating system enabling users to connect to the internet without booting into windows. ASUS are renowned for their performance as well as their attention to detail. In the recent pre-Computex seminar, one of their key focuses was on design concepts that give their motherboards a truly unique finish. Their design philosophy entails performance, overclocking and aesthetics, and the P6X58D-E falls under their 'Xtreme Design' concept.
