Need best P67 board!

[jmn2519]

I'm surprised no one has thrown out EVGA yet. Is anyone here using an EVGA P67 mobo?

[Erklat]

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)

I think it is the regular Pro motherboard with taf' gimickzzzzz. Not sure about it though but I'm positive it is lower than Dlx.
You have the description on the previous page, but I'm not sure it is worth the price premium over the Pro for an average users who fold or crunch.

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 positive he doesn't care about spending m0ar $$$ than necessary.

EVGA lost a lot of their mb dev team so they behind on their 1155 boards. They dont even have an ETA on Classified yet.

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

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!

But about the Sabertooth, everything I read on it it's: "I think" "I suppose" "It probably", I want read numbers! I can't beleibe this board have not been reviewed abd compared to other boards in term of overclocking!

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.
Im not sure about the new version but the past 2 were more like asus answ to past abit fatality series. its more geared towards gaming 24/7 rigs. Its not in the same category as rampage/maximus. 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?

[kevink82]

I like the m4e better, gigabyte has too many bootup failures issues and its annoying.

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.

[NanoBullet]

Let's not even think about it. There's only one brand for nvidia graphic's card... For me

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.

My new system soon to be next week!

Waterchiller Hailea Ultra Titan 1500
Antec High Current Pro 1200W
Intel Core i7-2600K
Asus Maximus IV Extreme
2XAsus GeForce GTX 580
8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-17600 2200MHz
4xCrucial RealSSD C300 64GB
Asus Xonar D2X
2xSamsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II

Any feedback!

Solid choices, but the water chiller might be a bit overboard for Sandy Bridge....

Thanks mate! Just fancyed a change from normal water to chilled! How easy is it to flash a 6950 to 6970! Still undecided on gpu! 3x6950 or 2x580 or just wait for 2x6990!

Very easy. And I'd just get 3x 6950.

[papatsonis]

im in a similar quest for a solid SB board. due to the fact i dont want to throw away 2x500gb EIDE drives, im looking into Asrock Fatal1ty, which has plenty of extras (6+4 sata), eide, dual lan.Has anybody tried/tested it? 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?

[godsfist]

But about the Sabertooth, everything I read on it it's: "I think" "I suppose" "It probably", I want read numbers! I can't believe this board have not been reviewed and compared to other boards in term of overclocking!

It's been reviewed by guru3d

http://www.guru3d.com/article/asus-s...-tuf-review/10

They got a 2600K to 4.6Ghz on a stock Intel cooler and thought it would go further with decent cooling.

[flesheatinvirus]

Not a bad board for the money though I would want to loose the jacket and add a water block.

[bro20000]

Change my mind on 3x6950 just sold my 580GTX and have bought 2xGainward GeForce GTX 580 "Phantom" 3072MB GDDR5

[Lucus Maximus]

Any thoughts on the P8P67 WS Revolution?

Have read a few reviews and seems to be OC'ing ok. What's people's view on XS? Anyone got one?

-Lucus

[godsfist]

The answer just became any board bought before 9th January 2011.. otherwise it's probably infected with the Intel design flaw

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.
