Closer Look

The P8P67 follows on from previous boards with the blue theme throughout. The heatsinks are aluminium and are designed in the shape of waves. Underneath is a 12 phase power design. (12+2)



As with previous LGA1156 boards we have DDR3 dual channel memory lanes. There are 4 in total giving a maximum of 32GB. Supporting modules from 1066MHz right through to the high-end 2400MHz (OC). Note that the lanes themselves only have a latch on one side rather than both sides.



With USB3.0 very much in the forefront of computing. Going into 2011 we will see a real surge with this new standard, the aim is to get USB3.0 mainstream. We know the bandwidth is there to be had. This header located by the 24-pin power provides 2 x USB3.0 ports up front, ASUS supply a bracket with the Deluxe version of this board that gives you USB3.0 functionality right where you need it - at the front of your case.



Taking a look at storage we can see there are up to 8 x SATA ports. The pale blue ports provide 3G transfer rate whilst the white and darker blue ports supply 6G transfer rate. Plenty of options there both for the standard drive and future-proof.
