nlel1975 - well i do believe that its possible to save £50 from buying elsewere, simple reason being a competitor have just put up there asus deluxe board which came in £23 cheaper than what OCUK was selling them at today, Also i would have said by the amount they bumped up the ME4 today that the 2500k would have been overpriced aswell.
 
i got myself the Asus p8p67 pro when they were up today =D going to be amazing to finally get rid of this core 2 duo i still use heh
 
going by todays bloopers and seeing the new systems listed it seems you guys will only offer 4.6GHZ bundles? :( youtube video linked 2-3 pages back the guy overclocks to 4.6 on the asus uefi bios by hitting 1 button .... it had a pre set profile for 4.60 ghz and he did not have to adjust anything so it seems anyone and thier dog/cat/hamster can do 4.6.

i was hoping for a 4.8ghz ud5 bundle to be honest when it seems so easy:<

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, looks very similar to the Asus Formula motherboards, I think this is the first Fatal1ty board since Abit went out of business.

Johnathan Wendel, I wonder how long it took him to learn the script. :D

 
i am really considering this asus p67 now over the gigabyte motherboards due to having pci-e 1x slots.the price puts me off a little though its too cheap! whats the advantages of the pro version other than more pci-e 16x slots for sli? i hate sli but would imagine the pro would overclock better? £120 just doesnt sit right in my head for having a 2600k at 4.8GHZ. UEFI also needs refined until i touch it as youtube video reviews say its making overclocking impossible and unstable past 4.6.


now chaps i need some help on the spec list.what does this mean exactly? this is the asus specs for the p8p67

1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 *
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*The PCIEX16_2 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX1_1 slot, PCIEX1_2 slot and USB3_34 connector. The PCIEX16_2 runs at x1 mode by default for system resource optimization.



now i only want to use 1xGTX 580 in the top 16x slot but i also have my pci-e 1x soundcard which i dont want to eat into the USB3 bandwidth in any way.i understand that the second 16x slot shares with the 2 pci-e 1x slots and the usb34 but what does usb 34 mean does it mean all usb 3.0 slots or just usb 3 and 4 connectors(board has 4x usb 3).

more importantly though if i avoid that shared second 16x slot and put the soundcard into the 1x slot does this mean i am no longer sharing usb 3 bandwidth or are all the damm secondary pci-e 16 and 1x slots linked to usb 3?

I was talking about the P8P67 which was listed at only £ 5 cheaper elsewhere (on pre-order). The i5-2500k was priced a bit high (but only by about £ 10) but then they had stock and were despatching them.

EDIT: I have just checked the status of my ocUK i5-2500k and mobo despatched yesterday and they have already passed thru Jersey customs, should be getting them today or tommorow now!

and I calculated the cheapest price for the system I am building using components sourced elsewhere (some of which are only on pre-order) and it only came to £ 19.42 cheaper for the whole system exact same components and that is not including Jersey GST at 3% for internet orders over £ 400 which would bring it up to only £ 1.72 cheaper (of course I did not pay GST on my bits as I did seperate orders under £ 400) - so overall I do not think I got done!

Hi, it's Chris Lee from Asrock, what a character, seen all his vids :p
 
I suspect the price of the Maximus will drop a fair amount when stock is available. I just checked a distributor at work and although they are out of stock of the board until the 17th of this month, the price is significantly lower.
 
well thats a bit odd, yesterday when the NDA was accidentally lifted the ASUS P8P67 was 129.99, & today it's 131.99 :confused:

yes either, but get the P67 if you wish to overclock since your getting the 2500k -

However the "K" version CPUs have a higher GPU frequency so they are better when using the onbaord outputs on the H67, so the K CPUs are not wasted on H67 boards. They simply have a different use.
