Preview for P67 chipset - ASUS P8P67 PRO
After we see the ASUS P8P67 DELUXE in last few days, this time I want do another review for P67 chipset – ASUS P8P67 PRO.
With the ROG level for Gaming or Extreme Overclocking, next is the Sabertooth, then go to Deluxe > EVO > PRO > -E etc. So today let us the P8P67 PRO. Seem the box CPU haven’t coming up in Taiwan, so this time still using the same cpu – i5 2400 for testing.
Let us see the mobo first.

Tear it off. 12 + 2 phase, enough for normal, even for overclocking in air situation.

Digi+, this IC design by ASUS, to control the phase.
