So what's the conclusion on the DP67BG board? I'm likely replacing my i7 860 w/ a 2600k and the Intel board looks very appealing to me. As does the Gigabyte P67A-UD3P....but IMO the Intel looks like a better option.

If MM hasn't figured out how to flash the bios yet, I doubt he'd recommend the board. :rofl::rofl::rofl::sofa:Quote:

Been at that speed on WCG for almost 2 weeks and not a hiccup.:up:
That's great to hear. The illuminated skull looks great as well :up:Quote:

It has a EVGA 260GTX and draws 212w, makes over 43,000PPD in WCG at 4634MHzQuote:
