Good poll - I'm actually really interested in the outcome - specifically with the ASUS mobos...

It seems that perspective is pretty important here.
 
surely you should've added "other" as an option aswell, for folks on a tight budget who go the Asrock/Intel route?.
 
I said i'd go Asus and i did. P8P67 Pro and its fine here. There are some oddities with the bios like:

If an overclock fails it might take 4 or 5 power cycles to get the board to POST again
It only wants to recognise the ram as 1333 until i manually change it
AI tools II doesn't read any wattage past 99.99 which is really crap. Anything past about 4.6 reads as 99.99 so you have no idea how it is doing.
Of the 4 fan headers only three are controllable in the software, and even then two of those 3 are on the same setting. Independent fan control for all 4 headers would have been nice. Possibly could be in a software update I suppose.

But once you get past that its been fine. I've hit 5.0 ghz on it at 1.45v for a short 1 minute suicide run. Now its just primed fine for 4 hours at 4.5ghz and 1.31v. Cant really complain with that.

Asus have a reputation to live up to and I'm sure there will be a number of BIOS and software updates to live up to it.

Keeper.
 
If a mod could add the options which I forgot to list...
(just as there is not too many votes)

Foxconn
Intel
EVGA
Asrock
Other (please post)

same arrangement please :)
thanks for the poll!
 
After moving what was supposed to be a solid budget I went for the MSI GD65 board and its been working like a treat :D
 
MSI P67A-GD65 all the way.

I initially had some trouble over clocking but once I updated the BIOS I've had zero problems.

I currently have my 2500K sitting nicely at 4.6Ghz Prime + IntelBurnTest stable. Using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus cooler which keeps my 2500K at 61c on full load.

Vcore = 1.33v

Fantastic board and CPU! :)

I am using release 1.7

Flash it by downloading the zip and unzip it on the root of a USB memory stick, then in the BIOS select M-Flash insert the USB stick and select update BIOS from file. Then select the USB drive and you should see the update file, double click and it will start updating.
 
Wheres the option for I bought XXX but im undecided :p

I have a P8P67 Deluxe which is now working mostly after a lot of tinkering. (my top pci e x1 slot still doesnt work with my sound card)
