Accessories:
Before we actually take a look at the accessories, let's stop to take a look at the ASUS P6X58D-E's packaging. ASUS made a point to list many of the board's features under the box flap. ASUS is far from the first manufacturer to do this with their products packaging, but it's a nice touch. It allows users to get a quick glimpse of what they've purchased, before they actually use it.
Opening up the box first reveals the P6X58D-E's bundled accessories. Underneath all of these accessories is the motherboard itself wrapped in an anti-static bag.
As far as the actual accessories go you'll receive a user guide, a rear I/O shield, a driver CD, and a 3-way SLI bridge. You'll also receive six SATA cables and an SLI bridge.
Software:
ASUS made sure to include a great deal of software with the P6X58D-E. Possibly the most useful of which is the ASUS PC Probe. With the PC Probe you'll be able to monitor all the temperatures and voltages you could possibly want. Another useful piece of software included with the board is the ASUS AI Suite. This little piece of software will let you adjust fan settings, or overclock with the ASUS TurboV.
With the TurboV overclocking software, you'll be able to increase the BCLK and voltages while still in Windows. If you don't want to overclock your hardware, you may still want to use the ASUS EPU software. This will allow you to choose from multiple power saving modes, which should be very appealing to any users not looking to run their system at full blast 24/7.
Last but not least, why not update your BIOS before you shutdown your rig. You'll be able to easily do this through Windows with the ASUS update.
Now let's get this baby overclocked!

I could easily run on 4400-4500 stable on air all day, though I still tend to like 4.0 gz, I guess I feel it's slow and comfy speed, and never had an issue even when it's about 95F in the room, at least for now till I get bored.
Where does that little fan go or should go that comes with it? I never used mine yet.
The main best difference over the premium is the E series you can raid your SATA 3.0 ports.
Cons: I wish this board came with more Sata ports and I wish that the 1x pcie slot was a 4x slot.
Pros: I don't like IDE or Floppy and this board doesn't waste real estate to these now aging techs.
