my suggestion: get "K" version rather than normal -2600
just a few hundred ringgit. but soooooo tempting!

and P67 chipset make BCLK overclocking become more complicated.
so, go get "K".

i am "idling" user so i always set C1E & speedstep on. but changing the turbo ratio inside the bios give me appropriate power when needed! and the bios GUI is quite nice; called "EFI".

regards:
ASUS P8P67+i7-2600K user since 27th december 2010

not bad for mainstream compare to extreme.

btw, some people can reach until 4.9GHz (almost 5GHz) based on google result and youtube result.
i just to 4.5 using single core turbo mode using prime95, by adjusting turbo core ratio.

conclusion? go get K model. K means KEPUASAN!

willaw: your cooler is not tight enough?

load @ 4.5GHz stressed
using prime95:
Core 1: 47 C, Core 2: 48 C, Core 3: 46 C, Core 4: 48 C

when idling, drop to 1.6GHz:
Core 1: 31 C, Core 2: 31 C, Core 3: 39 C, Core 4: 31 C

using hyper 212+ single fan

they are going back to single clock generator, caused me to remember at the pentium III era


i think your hardware inside your casing don't have enough air & space to breath. full of accessories? my room temperature is same like my body's temperature but i have front & back casing fan to help air flow inside casing.

asus just show its P8P67 in their products category 12-14 hours ago, even though that many people around the globe already used it several days ago

gila melampau2 sampai 5.++

i stick with 4.5, turbo mode only, because i want to keep it until 10 years

a quick answer:
gpu inside sandy bridge disabled by P67 chipset because there are no onboard graphic port. you may want to use it on H67.

you should submit your suggestion to intel. maybe they listen

anyway, if processor architecture can be "custom made" by consumer (like dell notebook which you can choose custom hardware and ask them to build it), i am sure 90% around the globe want the gpu to be removed and put something useful inside it, or just leave the core alone in it.

in other words, use it, or leave it.

finally after 2 weeksseveral days on market, major manufacturer of mainboard, top computer hardware reviewer finally release a story about 1155 mainboard
and finally after a decade, intel changing their mind about locked-multiplier's policy

lets discuss about it soon when the manufacturer's release that kind of product. right now it just only appear from a website which has nothing to do with asus. they can predict, can give rumour, but only asus responsible to deliver that. right now i don't see any so-called P67-I which has built-in gpu ports on-board. so, i cannot comment anything

yang mendatar, bukan menegak.

oWh. mine is 2600K, thats why i said the stock cooler is mendatar

this is what i called as mendatar stock-fan. (don't know if there is other term)

like 860/870 and 875K, thats how they build 2600/2600K, with and without vt-d, but still has vt-x both of it.

can you guys tell me what is so important about vt-d? previously when i using 32-bit os as host, the only matter for me is only vt-x, since it allow 64-bit virtual guest os running on 32-bit host os using that instruction.

if the available core is not a big thing, since speed is matter, then grab 2500K, value for a money.

when i first hear about new sandy bridge "K" model, my eyes become like this ->
less than a day, i grab 2600K since how-many-threads is matter to me

40 degrees based on? core temperature or cpu temperature?

my core temp for EIST & C1E enabled, idle at 1.6GHz is around 38c using 212+. yesterday drop to 36c because of rainy day

i bet that most of you after reading this kind of news will run some test, either using atto, sisoft or whatsoever, and find out that their "performance" read/write of hdd will "drop". of course, and most of you will get "placebo effect syndrom". right now i don't see any problem of my sata ports, because:

1. using 1 hard disk and one dvd-rw, both connected to sata0 & 1 which is sata3.0
2. based on my records, i use so-called latest technology, which the existing system will stands for a year (previous board, processor sold after 1 years usage, the previous before this previous used only 4 months )

since they said "within 3 years", i don't care. the only thing i care is i registered my product(motherboard) with asus and they should track me down if replacement is available.

in the future, i hope that intel will design their southbridge that can be plugged in/out like a processor, ram and others. or just move the southbridge into processor die like northbridge.

cybersans: if there is "LIKE" button for every post, i will click for your screenshot! full of "sarcasm" and "message"

for intel who loss (i prefer the words "profit reduction") about 700m something like that, is just small matter to them. celah gigi saja! for those who already own the board, don't worry, don't become paranoid. it is not a timebomb, that will damaging the hdd physically, just the sata port bandwidth. data corruption occured between transaction, not damaging the hdd plate

thats is your conclusion, not mine

everybody has an opinion. so rather than quoting people's opinion after that giving your so-called best opinion, i would like to stick with this: physical hdd is more important than my data. because i am not a datacenter. i don't care if my 10,000 mp3s gone, or 400GB of pirated movies gone. but i do care to spend another hundred ringgit to buy a new one. thats why i said like that.

congratulations to those who already have/swap the P67 B3 revision. i think i will make a swap next week. or next month. or next year, since i don't care about those sata #2 - #5.

pro has extra sata port by marvell, DTS @ hd audio, and so on. you may want to check http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/Intel_Z68 and click "product comparison", select both model.

already swap my p67 with this z68v pro model @ compuzone. seems like they have extra features that i don't really need. ask for non-pro model, they don't have a stock although in the price list already shown if anyone want a z68 asus pro model, switch with me your non-pro (p8z68v) and topup less than 100.
