Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6 P35 motherboard reviewed

This week AnandTech took a look at the Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6 motherboard. This mobo uses the new Intel P35 chipset and supports DDR3 memory.

We initially found the ASUS boards to be slightly more mature, as they offer a performance oriented BIOS with some additional fine tuning options not available in the other boards. However, that is quickly changing as we receive BIOS updates and new board designs from other manufacturers. We will provide an answer for what board we think best exemplifies the performance and capability of the P35 chipset in our roundup coming in the latter part of June.

In the meantime, we have our second DDR3 board in-house for testing and will provide some early results with this somewhat unique motherboard that brings an excellent level of performance to the table. The question remains if this board can outperform the ASUS P5K3 Deluxe, and we hope to provide some early answers to that question today. Let's take a quick glimpse at the Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6 now and see how it performs.

You can read their review over here. Overall their initial response is that the motherboard's performance is generally on par with the Asus P5K3 deluxe. Their biggest concern is the limited overclocking potential, they say that they managed to overclock their DDR3 memory modules much better on the Asus board than on the Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6.
