Final thoughts and rating

ASUS's P8P67 Deluxe is a feature-packed Sandy Bridge motherboard that's well-styled, well laid out and generally a joy to use.

The UEFI BIOS is a noteworthy upgrade and the board offers impressive overclocking performance with standard air cooling. Fetching £170 at retail, the board's abundance of features will appeal to those who want to cover all bases. Four USB 3.0 ports, 12 USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, eSATA, quad SATA 6Gbps, dual Gigabit Ethernet, integrated Bluetooth and support for multi-GPU CrossFire or SLI configurations are just some of the highlights.

Throw in ASUS's suite of overclocker-friendly tools - including a debug LED and a digital 16+2 phase power design - and you're left with an excellent enthusiast-orientated solution. Other boards will offer Sandy Bridge goodness for less, but if your needs demand such a rich feature set, we have little hesitation in recommending ASUS's P8P67 Deluxe.

Nice board, price is too high. Little point Intel releasing new CPU's at realistic price if MB's are this expensive…..

shame all the boards are mines now.

Hello All,

I am new to the tech side of computers and confused about the new Sandybridge P67 motherboards. Some of the boards claim to handle 32GB of memory. With only 4 slots on a P67 board this must mean you would need 4 x 8GB modules to achieve 32GB. However, I have never seen 8GB modules on sale. Am I missunderstanding something? Thanks for your comments.:shaun:

Hi Dobbo,

8 Gig modules are comming out now see Scan Computers, as memory is cheap these chips are now in the reach of us mortals. Would not get a sandy bridge board till the B3 revision comes out in the next few weeks with the new couger chip set….

Take it easy..:)

Thanks Gunner,

I am on Scan website most days. Seen 8G kits. Prob because I am only thinking of using 8g total I have not looked at the right kits.
B3 Read an article on the B3 but it did not make it clear that these boards are free from the Sata2 problem..
Thanks again Gunner
