Am sick of my MSI P67A-GD65 it killed one of my Vertex2 SSD and now Ram slot one has died on me! Have had enough! The board works with ram in slot 2 and 4 but bus speed i cannot change!
Am interested in theses 3 boards!
Asus Maximus IV Extreme Intel P67
Gigabyte P67A-UD7 Intel P67
Asrock Fatal1ty Intel P67
Any ideas which one to get!
The UD7 seems to be doing very good, people hitting 5.7+ pretty easily if their chips will do it. Nice color scheme as well.
I would go with a Dlx or UD5, more than enough headroom... high end boards are insanely priced...
Does anyone know the best board for low VDroop!
Right ... And even P8P67 Pro give the same than P8P67 Deluxe ...Quote:

Is there still a recall on the board or is it all sorted! And does anyone know when the ATi 6990 is out looking to upgrade most of my system!
I've a P8P67-EVO and it has 0 vDroop, also with LLC set to xtreme it'll add more volts then the ones set.Quote:

This board is bringing sexy back..

Military grade means: The capacitors, chokes and MOSFETs all adhere to an independent ISO and IEC/IECQ standard that stipulates certain requirements suitable for military application. While the Sabertooth P67 uses solid capacitors and alloy chokes for its VRMs.
Asus uses a stress test that repeatedly heats and then cools the board from -40C to 85C and uses a range of military-grade components and server-level testing. For example, rather than the usual burn-in test that uses a temperature of 45C and a humidity of 80 per cent, Asus uses the server-grade 55C temperature and 90 per cent humidity test.
I dont like the look of that board i prefer the asus maxium look in red!
Cant say I agree with that. UD7 is as good or better and will run 16x in 2 slotsQuote:

I agree, UD7 looks and probably is awesome, but if I was upgrading I'd probably go after P67-UD5, you get less phases and less sata/usb ports though, but it isn't priced insanely high.
I can't stand the clips on dimm slots Asus utilizes since P55.
Cant comment on the other boards, but the only difference it seems between Asrock Delx6 and Fatality ..is the color scheme, and the lack of molex power conn for pci-ex slots on the fatality, also fatality has l33t gam3r pic on every uefi background :_ ..so for 30-40$ more, its not worth it imo.
I went with the xtreme6, high end board in a mid range price point.
Only UD7 will give you 16x bw in 2 slots, UD5 will not. Keep that in mind if you want to run SLI. Difference would probably be very minor however.
How does it do that? If it utilizes NF200 the link between PCIex and it works at 16x, but NF200 to the on-die controller is still only 8x then.
I'm probably wrong, that's how it works on mine.

Am looking to run 2x580 or 2x6990!
Then you have picked a wrong time to upgrade. Pairing two of such high bandwidth cards with a P chipset is something you simply don't do :DQuote:

NF200 doubles the BW to 16x by splitting the pcie lanes. Also all the pcie lanes from the processor are fed directly into the NF200 because ud7 has a secondary PCI-E bus for usb 3 and sata 6.

Any feedback!
I'm really happy with my Asus P8P67 Deluxe , but you can get the pro or evo to save $$ once you get use to the BIOS it's cake.
I'm curious about this board, but at this time I didn't notice any review on it's OC ability vs other P67 boards. I would be maybe a good option for my as a folding rig. (100% full load 24hr/7)Quote:

I'm positive he doesn't care about spending m0ar $$$ than necessary. :DQuote:

Plus no Volterra and no Sham. Classified product line lost a lot of it's appeal if you ask me with this.Quote:

yea no sham really sucks as from what I have seen he is pretty much the drive behind the classified series. Plus I think saphire stole some of their people. yes no volterra has in impact but there are other solutions.
Hey, even if I fold, I still want to best overclocking possible on my chip mate! ;)Quote:

How was the X58 version of the sabertooth???
Im on a sabertooth x58 typing this and its not a great clocker. I bought it on newegg open box for 150 in the fall and its a decent 24/7 gaming rig and that is what it was meant for. I would prob get the th67xe if you are on a budget.Quote:

I would say its more of a dumbed ROG. call it the poor mans ROG with performance closer to a pro series. I would almost say they took a pro and put some fancy heatsinks on it. thats all it is really IMO.
tested the asus
Asus p67 LE
Sabertooth and M4e
LE voltage regulation sux to the max
Sabertooth is very easy to clock and was stable easy with dram at 2200mhz Cl7
But the Southbridge gets very hot and that was in open air.
M4e has a lot of redudant voltage options to my opinion for 24/7 overclocking.
so far they clock about the same. Will know next week when i put both in water. Only disappointment with Sabertooth is
1. The Southbridge gets really hot
2. Funny USB connection at the back that requires drivers for it to work.
but i do like the board.
looking at what asus has to offer and in terms of overclocking i would vote for
Asus deluxe or pro version.
m4e other than the nf200 in terms of clocking no diff.
Sabertooth is overpriced when compared to the equivalent Deluxe version which offers more added extras
btw what is under the deluxe version heatsink at the middle part of the mobo
afaik m4e is nf200
deluxe is??
How hot? stick a fan on it hot or don't worry about it hot?Quote:

Little shame though i really liked the matte black but till they fix all the random cpu overclock failed when it can clearly boot before ill say go m4e asus for now.
I feel bad for EVGA. I hope this is NOT a downfall for them. I hope it doesn't happen to EVGA as it did to BFG.Quote:

I think the far better example is DFI. One year they rocked, the next year half of their engineers from development changed their employer, and the year after they were out of the game. At least when it comes to consumer products. Too bad actually, their support was retarded, but I didn't care since I send the board to whomever sold it or to the importer when I need to claim my warranty, so they rocked for me.Quote:

I dont really care for top O/c form sb, a 4500 ~low voltage is more than enough i guess right now, along with my pair of 6950s. Is there any other p67 board with eide connector i miss?
It's been reviewed by guru3dQuote:

They got a 2600K to 4.6Ghz on a stock Intel cooler and thought it would go further with decent cooling.
Not a bad board for the money though I would want to loose the jacket and add a water block.
Change my mind on 3x6950 just sold my 580GTX and have bought 2xGainward GeForce GTX 580 "Phantom" 3072MB GDDR5Quote:

-Lucus :)
The answer just became any board bought before 9th January 2011.. otherwise it's probably infected with the Intel design flaw :(
http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=20789
Asrock Extreme6 or Extreme4. Fatality board in more than one review has proved its slower than the aforementioned boards (albeit, miniscule). Besides that, would you want to look at wendels mug every time you enter the UEFI?
LOL...looks like EVGA could come out smelling like roses now. Their delay likely saved them a ton of cash and they will be ready to hit the ground when the fixed chipset arrives. Funny how things work out sometimes.Quote:

Some folks say EVGA knew...but I doubt that. They were delayed IMO.Quote:

Exactly, I pretty sure they didnt know any more than anyone else they just lost their mb team so there was a delay. Hopefully their Classified line is not already manufactured with bad chips.
While I suspect intel knew about the issue prior to first shipments, theres no specific details about the SATA issue with P67 so nobody can really say if the issue is a issue or a non issue, at least not yet.
There are pretty specific details, from Anand, for example. All SB chipsets are affected.Quote:

I'm now going to wait for either z68 or the new socket 2011 slated for q4.
It seems quite unlikely consumers are being affected and the recall and revision are being done as a safety precaution. I'm not saying people won't get this problem, some might, but lets not blow this out of proportion.
EVGA says no EVGA P67 boards will be affected by the recall
Yeah it's only a 1 billion dollar boo boo :p:Quote:

It could explain y my vertex 2 died!
I trust Ket on this. He's been around long enough to have seen plenty of other "revisions" from all sorts of parts. Manufacturers changing board revisions in a hurry, crystals changed, ICs changed...it's been going on for years. And whenever a revison of something comes out, you never see a recall of the previous version. Unless parts were actually dying or blowing up.Quote:

Abit BH6 1.1 allowed AGP 2x at 150 FSB (provided sidebanding was off), when 1.0 version would lock hard around 120 FSB. But maybe this is apples and oranges.
Even though something that affects HDDs would be more critical than something that affects OC'ing ability, obviously...
Why do I have a feeling that no one on these forums will be affected by this?
u miss something.. all these "examples" you mention.. if left at stock.. weren't actual PROBLEMS.... this one IS...
edit : and as always.. take with a grain of salt.. ALL comments from already owners of P67 boards.. like "in 3 years i dont care if it happens", or " its very rare, it works ok on me".. ->the last 10 days i bought.. to add..
All chipsets have the problem but degradation is dependent on heat, frequency of use etc and they are forecasting 15% failure rate.. but the design flaw is contained in all of them.Quote:
