Is there some massive bug on P8P67 boards I wasn't aware of? Got my new Pro in last night, hooked everything up and it seemed like all 4 of my SATA drives were being seen, install everything in the OS, reboot and suddenly one of the ports isn't seeing a drive. This happened with my LE board and thought it was bad, but now that it's happening again I don't quite know what to think. Tried googling but most of the links seemed to be about what to do with their board and the recall.

Did you get a Rev3 P8P67Pro? If not

Can BIOS see the drive, or not? Try reseating/replacing cables? Did you attach to a Marvell port and then disable it in BIOS on accident?

You sure the cable itself is good? My board came with a bad SATA cable that was causing the connected drive to randomly disappear and subsequently Windows would BSOD because it got sad that the system volume wasn't there any more. As soon as I replaced the cable (and it was already connected to a 6Gbps port, so it wasn't caused by the recall problem) the problem disappeared.

Quick question for i5-2500k owners. I'm running an overclock (4.3ghz right now, 4.5ghz bsod'd on me). I'm running Real Temp 3.67, and it's reporting (under 100% load) core 0: 53 core 1: 60 core 2: 59 core 3: 55 Should there be this much disparity between the cores? Or is my heatsink (a coolermaster 212+) improperly seated/thermal paste not properly applied? I thought I did a good job of spreading the paste around on the chip, not realizing that the instructions called for the paste to be put on the heatsink instead. Should I re-do it?

My Core 2 Duo E7200 that I gave to a friend recently, always reported individual core temps about that disparate, something like 7C difference between the two cores at full load. It's been in at least two different motherboards with I think three different coolers and always did the same thing no matter what - stock or overclocked and overvolted. In my inexpert and totally anecdotal opinion, as long as none of them are beyond safe temps and all are stable, it's fine.

I should have updated my post yesterday. There were two problems - my video card was overclocked (which I forgot), apparently too much. BC2 was causing my video card to crash or something, causing my entire system to freeze. Then, I had an old version of my motherboards BIOS, which would cause it to reset and revert to default BIOS settings if the reset switch was pressed - which is what I would do when my system froze up. So I updated my BIOS, set video card to default specs, and everything is going good.

Had a really weird issue with a 4 year old Samsung HD recently. I was playing music and it suddenly froze, the event log reported an iaStor drive timeout. I thought nothing of it, restarted foobar and continued working. Several hours later I noticed none of my programs could write to the drive and opening it in explorer gave "Access Denied". The event log was being spammed by "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation.". I put it down to bad sectors and rebooted to try and copy stuff off the drive, it got a few gigs in and then disappeared again. I then booted off a Win7 installer to run chkdsk, which completed a full chkdsk /r without error. I then ran a full badblocks non-destructive RW test which also ran without error. I booted a Linux live environment and proceeded to copy everything off the HD without a problem. The moment I was back in Windows, the drive would crap out and die within minutes. Only thing I can put it down to is some kind of weird issue with the Intel SATA drivers causing some kind of chipset issue (P8P67 Pro bB3). Hopefully the B3 really did fix the SATA controller...

Has anyone exchanged a board at Micro Center yet? I received an e-mail saying that they are handling exchanges by offering "full credit" for defective boards in the form of a store gift card, but I purchased my P8P67 as part of a combo-deal back in January and a full refund would leave me about $40 short of the current price of a new board.

I exchanged mine at the Micro Center in St Davids and pointed the price difference out when they were doing the exchange. The guy handling exchanges grumbled a little bit and wandered off for about 5 minutes before returning, but ultimately I got out of there with the new board without paying the $40 difference.

Same here, except they had to get a manager and weren't grumbly, just time-consuming. Stand up for your combo pricing!

Son of a bitch, I was hoping to upgrade mine to a Pro, that's going to make things more difficult. Did they give you a gift card for the delay, like they mentioned in that survey they sent out last month?

I'm replacing my intel board, and can either RMA it or sell it and get an asus p67 pro, do the asus boards really have alot of issues or do these just crop up when doing heavy overclocking, or are overrepresented due to the popularity of the board? The main reason I would switch boards is the additional internal SATA ports but its not a huge dealbreaker.

I just did the exchange at Micro Center and there were no problems. They didn't even bother with the store credit when I told them I was getting the same model, they just let me swap boards. No grumbling, no managers, no nothing.

The core right next to GT should theoretically be the warmest since it has more "stuff" going on near it. Or if you're not using GT, the middle two will probably be the warmest. e: clarity Henrik Zetterberg fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Apr 16, 2011 |

Or if you're not using GT, the middle two will probably be the warmest. Also, the thermal sensors aren't exactly carefully calibrated scientific instruments. Even if the cores are all exactly the temperature they still aren't going to read out the same.

The main reason I would switch boards is the additional internal SATA ports but its not a huge dealbreaker. IMHO, they are over-represented because it's one of the best boards you can purchase for overclocking. Asus support will take care of you if you have to RMA. They're solid boards with an excellent EFI-based BIOS. I can confirm their BIOS engineers work continuously and BIOS updates are released when necessary. Getting a P8P67 or higher is the way to go. (Do not get the LE. IMO, you should get the PRO or above, but that's because I detest Realtek ethernet.)

It's also the cheapest high-end board, with SLI support, both extra SATA and two eSATA ports, and a USB 3.0 bracket for four ports out-of-the-box. Then you've got FireWire, which is a nice extra if you need it, and BlueTooth for re-using accessories you might have for your console/phone or doing gimmicky phone app overclocking  It's just a really good value for what you get on the board, especially in a good combo deal where you're not paying face value for it, and yet not quite over the top.

When the cheapest P67 boards comes with Crossfire and USB3.0 as baseline standard it's really hard to care for Z68. Ditto for LGA 2011 when 99.99% of us won't need more than a overclocked 2500K. And I still don't get why Intel is selling i5-760 at the same price as a 2500K. They really believe there will be idiots falling for buying last-gen stuff at current gen prices?

I know someone who just ordered an LGA1156 board and processor thinking it was the latest. It is one number higher, after all.

They always do this. There will be people with lower-end LGA1156 systems looking to upgrade for quite a while into the future. Even high-end LGA775 chips still command a pretty high price - a Q9550 is $290. Why let it go for cheap, if people will still buy it at a high price?

Intel is the epitome of an "arrogant" company; I remember reading somewhere that they essentially never drop prices. Who else are you going to buy a x86 CPU from, AMD? They have the massive R&D budget and workforce to build and design top-end processors, and we're willing to pay the bucks for them. (case in point: they continually manage to sell Extreme Edition SKUs). Get Z68 if you want transcoding, or to use the integrated GPU + overclock. The next chipsets to look at would be the 7-series (USB 3.0 woo) or the X79. I don't think we'll see the 7-series in 2011, no idea when the X79 was slated to launch.

Intel has pretty regular price drops, especially in response to AMD products. The main issue is that since AMD hasn't been performance-competitive for a long time, Intel has had no reason to be price-competitive.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but the top-end Intel CPUs (excluding Xxxxxxtreme Editions) have been priced reasonably for quite a while. Back when I got my C2Q, the Q9450 was just out, was the quasi be-all end-all IIRC and cost "only" 300 eurobucks. I paid the same for the i7-2600. Back during the P3 times, the upper models were way more expensive. I paid way more for that P3-933 I owned, and there were 1.1GHz variants out.
