A start..2600K and Intel Burrage board

[[Ion]]

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.

Is there something wrong w/ the stock BIOS?

I don't know. Somewhere in this thread he was joking about all the time he wasted trying to flash. He was happy with his OC though.

BOARD is rock solid.
2600K at 4634MHz with 1.325vcore, memory at 1612 w/1.6v, bclk set for 101
PLL override enabled, all others default.
Been at that speed on WCG for almost 2 weeks and not a hiccup.

That's great to hear. The illuminated skull looks great as well

If you don't mind me asking, what sort of power draw does it have with a low-end GPU & what sort of PPD does it do @ these speeds?

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

That's certainly impressive. So with a G210 or similar it should be 175w easy....or 75w+ lower than my i7 ATM (which does ~32k PPD or thereabouts)
