H or p?

[Predator6]

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between the P67 and H67 boards?

I tried to google it but couldn't find much info

P67 are more expensive but provide more features for the mid user to enthusiast whereas the H67 are much simpler and therefore cheaper.

H67 gives you what you need in basic form, less power usage, less features, basic really and aimed at people wanting the best bang for buck on a budget.

P67 as said is more mid to enthusiast, giving multiple pci-e 16x slots, more sata ports, better overclocking capability, debug led's and all of the other fancy bits and bobs that aren't necessarily needed but sometimes wanted.

Ah ok, thanks

I'll have a look at the price difference between the two before I decide

I thought the difference was H supported onboard graphics and P did not?

Yes H is for onboard graphics from the cpu. I was thinking of the H board as i dont game but video encode.

Me too, however there seems to be some doubt as to whether you can use the unlocked multipliers on k chips on h boards - anyone know for sure?

Not interested in this one GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD7 too exspensive but other 2 are a choice for me. They say you dont need an exspensive motherboard but i dont want to go too cheap i think £150 tops for me.

Surely Asus is the way forward here as have UEFI and Gigabyte don't?
