better u take intel cos intel are middle spec cos...asrock are to low for my opnion...erm

crazy gaming rig u get there ... btw.. wat umean too low?
intel mobo P67 hard to find..

Don't get Intel,you can't OC with 'cheap' Intel P67 boards,the Asrock is fine actually,people don't really recommend it because it's harder to find compared to other brands.
There's also the MSI P67A-C45 RM445 @ Jayacom LYP if you don't want the Asrock

wanna try my luck with ASRock...
is it good 4 some mild OC?

compared to
1. Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3
2. MSI P67A-C45
3. Asus P8P67-LE

jus take MSI P67A-C45 and there u go~

why must MSI eh? i need to know y~~
ASUS/ASROCK/Gigabyte not ok?

I don't recommend MSI P67A-C45 as it has multipler issues on OC. Go for Gigabyte or Asus instead.

The cheapest P67 motherboard you can find locally is ECS P67H2-A3, just slightly over RM300

Mind explaining more?Source too if possible.

Here you go.

38x max on 2500K.

Bro,that's BIOS v14b,the current BIOS version is v1.9 already.

Does it guarantee that this issue is fixed? Coolice said it's still 42x.

I was browsing [H]ardforum earlier there seems to be no issue with the latest BIOS.
BTW,which BIOS version coolice said to be still stuck at 42x?

Well, you gonna have to ask him for that one. Seeing that and voltage issue already discouraged me.

It doesn't matter if MSI Motherboard here really have problem.
We always have ASUS, Intel and Gigabyte to choose.

Moreover, MSI P67-GD55 is 1 of the BEST BANG FOR THE BUCKS item, period.

Based on here there's no more problems after BIOS v1.7

I found this after one minute of googling,will be digging more but not immediately.

btw.. ASROCK-P67 Pro3 no good?
if that is the case i straight buy gigabyte ~~

Don't know. You gonna have to dig around for the review on this one.

It's not bad,at least from my quick search.
So far there's no glaring issue being reported,though i suggest searching more about it.
About the Gigabyte board,the price is too close to boards like the Asrock P67 Extreme4 and the MSI P67A-GD55,these two boards are highly recommended if you have the dough.
