The CPU area of the board is clear of obstacles with rows of Japan-made Solid Capacitors along all four sides of the CPU Socket. Note that these capacitors will not leak as some motherboard capacitors tend to do and have a life of around 50000 hours. ASUS says that they have a full 16+2 phase VRM design with 16 phases to the vCore 2 phases to Vdram/QPI controller. The CPU Socket itself is the standard LGA-1366 Socket.
Under the CPU socket is the memory slots. ASUS outfits this board with 6 DIMM slots, allowing for up to 12GB of Triple Channel DDR3-1600MHz memory. Note that the maximum memory speed officially supported by the Core i7 CPUs is 1333MHz, but DDR3-1600MHz is supported through overclocking. The P6T6 WS Revolution supports a QPI of 6.4GT/second, when a 965 XE CPU is installed. Next to the CPU Socket on the right hand side is the MOSFET heatsinks.
