don't know whether it is because of bios immature or normal behaviour, but my i7-2600K idle @ 1.6GHz using 1.02++ - 1.04++ of vcore. quite higher compare to my i7-860 idle @ 1.2GHz using 0.800++ - 0.820++ of vcore.

Quite normal SB is naturally doesnt like vCore lower than 1.0v

no intended to get any P67 board =) i dun mind wait for the Z68 since it launch on may 8th

dude, refund mean the shop pay back u money u can buy any brand afterward =) translate.google.com can help u

good luck dude, i wish u get ur refund or proper replacement.

Refund is for sure and Z68 is on d way..

May 8th !!
may b i should ask for refund too...
meh gotta pick up the swap board tomorrow at Royal Club

better late then regret.. ask for refund dude.
u dun wanna just seeing me kicking asss at Z68 don't u.
let's join the new party, next month (less than 30 days)

Off topic:
errr.. my vcore idle at 0.9v, and i did a low voltage OC, using 1.15v on 4Ghz.. is there any problem with this?

Btw, looking at how Asus respond to matter, i think if owikh84 jump from asus to other brand, i'm following .

My confident in Asus grows lesser and lesser and dropping now, kinda regret upgrade from P8P67 Pro to P8P67 Deluxe B3...

I don't understand why you are doing that at the first place either If you have a P8P67 PRO, it's either you go for MIVE or downgrade. Literally pointless to jump to deluxe from a PRO

i already feel like slapping myself. i feel bad now...

think i'm going to join the MSI, since people saying they offer better support =X

Bro, how's your issue coming along?

Already submitted your posts and complaint to the right personnel at Royal Club. Will update you via PM once I know what's cause.

The fact that is was listed as RMA can only mean that the dealer sent it back to distributor instead of royal club, which isn't the protocol for the B3 swapping program. This could mean a lot of things and hence requires investigation in order not to pinpoint anyone without evidence.

Games are mostly dependent on the graphics card rather than the motherboard, and since both of them uses the same chipset, the difference in performance is marginal.

Actually, for the B3 swapping service, dealers are supposed to deal with RC directly and not distributor as mentioned to you earlier in the thread.

Already replied you. But for the benefit of all, sales return a.k.a refund is entitled to anyone with the Intel Design Chip Error.

By right, if your motherboard has the B3 Revision label, then it is not the faulty one. But you can check if your SATA ports are faulty by visiting this URL: http://event.asus.com/2011/mb/Identify_unaffected_SATA_port/

Glad for you bro.

Because a system is in place to cater to the mass population. If we were to disrupt that flow of procedure, it will mess up a lot of things and most probably slow everything down even more since we need to service a lot of customers/dealers/distributors. It is therefore important to investigate the origins of the problem and resolve it to ensure that in future, end users like yourself don't suffer the same predicament. Hope you understand where I'm coming from.

Hi bro
i just came back from Asus RC with full of disappointment.
what i received is totally the same package with you.

They gave me an "almost" empty accessories box which contain 1 back plate 1 ,bluetooth module and a 3 way SLI bridge cable
while i b4 that i've contacted Asus support and they told me to send in everything including cables etc .
so i trade tons of accessories for 3 things ? c below reply from Asus_Support01@asus.com

I asked the engineer on duty if he can confirm that this is a B3 board because there's no b3 sticker on the box itself and the manufacturing date in January he said he dunno and ask me to go back and check myself and said this is the only board they receive from Asus HQ n ask me to sign the receipt.
If i dont check the package on the spot i probably already naik kereta or actually we already naik kereta.
And this is straight from Asus not through distributor or 3rd party.









Hi Mr AsusMy

Kindly let me know what is the procedure to refund.
