Which P67 mobo are you getting/gotten

[RussianSensation]

In case anyone is wondering, even without UEFI bios, Gigabyte's boards will support OS/booting from 3TB hard drives. Although it's puzzling why they haven't gotten onboard with UEFI yet. Considering you'll be done with SB overclocking in about 5 minutes, you should look towards other features like eSATA, Firewire, warranties, etc. when choosing your motherboard. Asus and Gigabyte both offer 3 year warranties, have easy to use windows-based tools, windows based bios flash. MSI is a no-go since you can't flash the BIOS in Windows (at least I couldn't on their 1156 mobo) and it's UEFI interface is sluggish (see TechReport).

The Asus P8P67 Pro and Gigabyte P67A-UD4 are excellent near $180-200 and have been reviewed at TechReport.

Personally, I always buy $130-150 boards and so far the P8P67 for $150 looks better than UD3P imo since it has more features (Bluetooth, 4 SATA 3.0 ports, eSATA, Firewire). Let's see how cheap the UD3R is.

who flashes their bios in windows?

Does the UD7 have UEFI (or whatever that BIOS thingy called)?

"Unfortunately at the moment GIGABYTE does not offer support for UEFI" got that from the Bjorn3D review of the UD7 which was posted yesterday

How can we tell if the ASUS p8p67 designs will take a hyper 212+ without problems?

It will fit because the heatsinks on the P8P67 aren't that high. It will be very close to your memory slots but it wont block them

Why would you want to use a 3TB drive as your boot drive when small SSD's are so cheap nowadays?

 

[nanaki333]

do any of the boards support dual x16 slots both running in x16?

 

[BoozeCompany]

do any of the boards support dual x16 slots both running in x16?

S1155 natively only supports a total of one X16 slot. With a Lucid or Nvidia 200 chip you will be able to run dual X16 with only 2/3% of performance loss compared to real dual X16. (exactly the same situation as with S1156)

But why would you pay more for a fake dual x16 board when dual x8 runs great for most video cards?

No current video cards can be maxed out at X8 anyway

I just got an email on this card:

I pulled the trigger on an Asus P8P67 Deluxe (£153), and it will be delivered tomorrow.

 

[Manticorps]

I ordered the Asus P8P67 Pro for $175.

What exactly was EVGA thinking with that horrible SLI spacing?

looks interesting

nice catch I was in a hurry and didnt how awful the slots are spaced

teh GF slot on the classified and right angle 20 pin would be nice, but they want 200 for the regular the SLI so I expect the classified to be around 200 OTD at most places and the SLI 170-180?

I'm thinking 179.99 for the P67 SLI at newegg and maybe 250 for the classified?

where are you guys finding the Asus P8P67 Deluxe motherboard? i can't find it any good dealers

Superbiiz has them, use the code " hello2011 " for a discount.

I ordered a hard drive from the last month, for the first time and was happy with the price and service. I just ordred an asus p8p67pro from them yesterday.

 

[RobDickinson]

Porbably getting an i5-2500K

Do I wait for z67 ?

If not which P67 board. Have a gigabyte board now with p31 chipset and 2160 at 3ghz, 8600gts, 2gig of memory.

Probably keep the video card (not a big pc gamer thesedays) - wont be looking at dual cards at all.
Probably dont want raid either.
Pretty sure there graphics card will be the only card.
Want USB3/sata 6gig (tho which dont have that..).
Want reliable and cheap, probably ATX but I dont have specific reasons for not using mATX.

Looked at ASUS but they have so many buzzwords its hard on their site to find out real comparison info...

Edit:- hmm any offering legacy IDE interfaces?

I'm really liking that Asus WS Revolution board now.

A review, finally:

[Zargon]

they reviewed the ~200buck MSI board too
http://hardocp.com/article/2011/01/03/msi_p67agd65_lga1155_chipset_motherboard_review/

I'm thinking 179.99 for the P67 SLI at newegg and maybe 250 for the classified?

could be. I would thikn the classified might be a little less, the SLI is LOADED with USB 2 and 3, esata.

I would think 2 more sata III is about all you'll get over the CF and right angle power pin.

there isnt room for anything else, but over 200 makes sense, I was just hoping. I have managed to not order the GB from superbiiz yet. I keep thinking I should wait till sunday am to order anything

awesome

 

[Castiel]

Only bad news is that newegg doesn't have the WS in stock for launch. They have the Maximus IV tho.
