Closer Look (Continued)

PCI-e comes via 2 x16 PCI-e 2.0 lanes (yellow) which are accompanied by 3 x1 lanes. So in essence this board will enable users to channel in to Crossfire or SLI. Beneath these lanes we have 2 legacy PCI sockets. It's good to have so many options but does anyone use PCI anymore?


Plenty of options over at the PCI-e lanes


Covering the Southbridge chip we have a nicely sized heatsink with the Foxconn branding on it.

Lastly we have onboard power and reset buttons which are extremely useful for enthusiasts who have the board on a test bed and perhaps don't have the front panel cables connected.

The P67A-S hopes to be a great performing board for those who want to build a high-end system whilst on a budget. Obviously at this stage we cannot publish any performance related results such as benchmarks or overclocking ability but rest assured, come January we will have a comprehensive review for you.
