Intel P67 Motherboard 5-Way Shootout - [hardware]
07:45 AM EDT - Apr,16 2011 - post a comment

TechSpot has posted a 25-page 5-Way Intel P67 motherboard shootout that is worth checking out if you have the stamina. Here's an excerpt:
As the second most expensive board in our roundup, you'd expect the Asus P8P67 Deluxe ($240) to be one of the highest quality P67 motherboards available -- and that's partially true. To highlight its negatives, the P8P67 Deluxe struggles to match the P67 Extreme6 for value and its USB 3.0 ports had the worst write performance we recorded.

To redeem itself, Asus' competitor elbowed its way to the top of our application and coding benchmarks, while scoring the highest in our overclocking benchmark with 4692MHz (46MHz ahead of Gigabyte's second place showing and 102MHz ahead of MSI's last place). It also had the best CPU and motherboard temperatures. It's hard to say whether the Asus P8P67 Deluxe is worth another $20 over the Asrock P67 Extreme6 however, maybe only if you plan to overclock heavily.

Finally, we have the grandaddy: Gigabyte's P67A-UD7. At $330, it is by far the priciest P67 motherboard featured in our roundup -- though it's not the most expensive P67 motherboard available. We believe that title goes to the Asus Maximus IV Extreme, which costs a cool $370 and represents their premium Republic of Gamers line.

It's worth noting that Gigabyte hosts an extensive range of P67 motherboards that start at $100 up to the $330 of the P67A-UD7. The P67A-UD4 that we briefly evaluated in our original Sandy Bridge review is a very good option for $190, and is a happy medium from a value perspective. Having said that, the Gigabyte P67A-UD7 is the most desirable motherboard we examined in this roundup. This not a motherboard for the budget conscious or for those who sleep better knowing every last dollar was well spent.

While its overclocking abilities and general performance won't have you picking your jaw up from the floor, its functionality and build quality might. The P67A-UD7 supports up to ten USB 3.0 ports and provides more than 16 PCIe lanes for graphics cards with its four full-length PCIe x16 slots.
