As I said in my previous post I got this mobo with an i5 2500k using the Intel HD 3000 graphics and so far I´m thinking to get a medium range graphics card. I thought games were going to look better on medium settings.
I haven´t been able to overclock the GPU though, it always tells me it´s @850MHz and when I use that "Auto Tunning GPU Boost" feature from asus the PC reboots and it tells me I can get a 33% increment to 1450MHz, but I just don´t know how to do it. The GPU clock remains @850
Excellent video. I'm still sitting on my q6600 from like 3 years ago. I wish I had a reason to upgrade, but everything I play (highest end game would be like TF2) runs great with what I've got (gtx 275). I think I'm going to hold off on any major upgrades until I can get a very large SSD for a decent price.. or until I found out that Battlefield 3 or Skyrim brings my system to its knees. :) I would love one of those Core i7's for video encoding, though. It must be nice!
@beigemore Thanks for watching and for the nice comment! I've had so much going on that I haven't even had time to install an OS on it. LOL! Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend. I'm anxious to see how fast it encodes video myself. :) It's pretty nice how processors from a few years ago still work great. My friend has an Athlon 64 X2 3200 and a decent video card and is able to play pretty recent games as well. He's really big into Battlefield and is looking forward to the next one.
@beigemore BF3 should be the main reason to upgrade to either a Core i5 or i7 me I'm going for a i5 since i'm on a very tight budget and have the rest of the parts i Need. And I'm getting this motherboard for sure with a nzxt vulcan case by by full towers.
Curious about what type of processor you have in the board? Also what is the advantage of the serial ATA gigabit connections and what makes them better than the older IDE?
@marauderNOR I installed an Intel Core i7 2600 processor in it. SATA has a much higher transfer rate than IDE (300 and 600 Mbps for SATA vs. 133 Mbps for IDE). Also, since SATA drives operate individually, they do not need to share the transfer speed. If you would have two devices on an IDE cable, one would be master and the other slave, and the transfer speed would be split. Hope that helps.
It's an IO Shield... 0:40

Does this mobo support SLI?

@Dreadedmike I would get the P67 board in order to run SLI without any issues.

how is the performance scaling affected if you crossfire it?

@iamismeallright I am unable to crossfire it, as I only have one video card.

@NGTFEAR I think it only supports up to 1333mhz DDR3 RAM.

what's the difference between P8H67-M PRO and P8H67-M PRO/CSM
MyGamerTV 8 months ago
@MyGamerTV From what I understand they are the same board with the same specs. The CSM (or Corporate Stable Model) has a better warranty.

@johnnyjohnson thanks for quick response mate. I am getting one today.

Can this run an SLI setup?

@psychedelnick1 I believe you will need the P67 board in order to run SLI without any issues..

can this overclock the i5 intel 2500k in the bios, or only using the software?
PenetrationMode 8 months ago
@PenetrationMode If I'm not mistaken, you will need the P8P67 to overclock in the BIOS.

@marauderNOR the data rate is much faster than ide and plus the sata cables are much smaller so you don't have that mountain size cables
