[Open Box] New 1155 Platform - Asus P8P67 Deluxe + 2sets of G.Skill DDR3 2133

[TinTin]

The new generation LGA 1155 platform will be announced very soon. With some pretests I have done, good performance clock to clock to i7 4C8T, though my 2300k ES (2.8G default but has 4C8T) is not very outstanding, running at 4.5G 24/7 is good enough, lower temperature in both in CPU and Chipset, SATA 6.0 & USB 3.0 supporting, I am very willing to build a new desktop as my workstation to replace my old E6600 P35 platform.

Here is my new P67 MB, Asus P8P67 Deluxe:


The Features - Dual Giga Lan, Double USB 3.0, Bluetooth, DIGI+VRM and new generation EFI BIOS....etc




The MotherBoard and Accessories: Here we see the MB.......



Accesories: A front USB 3.0 connector, some USB cables, a CrossFire bridge, Manual and Instruction User Guides, driver disc, back plate, EZ-connectorx...etc.

The 16+2 phase DIGI+ VRM units are covered by rather large Heatsink, the holes for heatsink is compatible with previous LGA1156 heatsinks.

Some more new toys for the new Platform, I also got two set G.Skill RipJaws rams 2G X2 which are designed and engineered for P67 platform, from my quick test, they are doing much better than those Rams for P55 chipsets, let's see later (after NDA)


The light Blue RigJaws is rated as DDR3 2133 CL8-9-8-24 1.65V


The Dark one RigJaws is rated as DDR3 2133 CL7-10-7-27 1.65V


They all comes with the Turbulence II fan:
