Default ASUS P8P67 PRO Sandy Bridge Motherboard Review Comment Thread
Even though Intel's Sandy Bridge has had its fair share of ups and downs, it remains one of the better price / performance platforms currently on the market. With B3 revision motherboards finally arriving at retailers, we take ASUS' budget friendly yet feature rich P8P67 PRO board out for a test drive....

Too bad the PRO is back ordered, but I managed to score a P8P67 DELUXE tonight on NCIX (March 16th).
Good work as always folks!

Good work MAC!!!

I love my P8P67 Pro. Although I hate having to use a jumper when ever I need to start my computer.

First things first, great job on the review.

Mentioned in the conclusion is the fact the the extra $20 for the EVO is not worth it, I'm just wondering but why not? Is it not the same board with a bit better cooling, power/reset buttons on board and an extra ethernet port? Or is it missing something the Pro has? I only ask cause that doesn't sound to bad for an extra $20.

Great review. I would also like to see a review of the ASUS P67 Sabertooth as a comparison.

Nice job m8. 1 BIOS chip kinda sucks. Was it annoying to OC because of that?

I would really like to see this board up against a NF200 board in SLI.

The auto-recovery was bulletproof, I don't remember ever having to manually clear the BIOS due to overclocking

After using crappy BIOSes on EVGA boards the P8P67 Pro is a dream to overclock.
