The BIOS

The P6T Deluxe has a nice simple splash screen with a blue theme - however it takes a while to get used to seeing the Splashtop splash screen before getting to the BIOS splash screen :)

After this splash screen, there are numerous brief message screens for the various storage controllers.

The Main BIOS menu is pretty standard.

Here is where all the fun happens - the AI Tweaker.

I found this version of the AI Tweeker to be a bit vanilla - there were not as many options as I'd have liked, to be specific, there were no options at all to slow down the QPI link, which may limit overclocking with high BCLK values. There were also no options for overriding the default TDP and overcurrent shutdown settings - again, limiting the overclocking potential of the board. I expect Asus will address these issues with a future BIOS release.

The advanced menu is also fairly standard, however the CPU configuration screen does let you control enabling/disabling HT and cores.
