ASUS P8P67

Just been given a ASUS P8P67 Rev 3.1 board, foc, for some plumbing work.

I know eariler versions of the board had problems, has the 3.1rev of the board fixed all the issues.

Yes, the rev 3.1 seems to be a B3 board (with the fixed hardware).

Gonna put an i5 2500K or i7 2600K in it, right?

i5 2500k is my choice.

i7 2600K would be nice, but beyond my budget

Yea, I wouldn't worry - the 2500K is an excellent choice and the i7 only performs better in heavily multithreaded applications where the hyperthreading can shine (ie. not games) - and even when hyperthreading is fully used it is still beaten by the 2500K in the value-for-money stakes.

Is that how plumbers get paid nowadays?

No, just that they had a problem with the pc, which I sorted, so when I finished the plumbing,I was offer cash, or the motherboard which was a replacement under warranty, but their son didn't want it as he had already bought another board.

I did a job for a butcher many years ago, got paid with half a pig, half a cow, & sausages for the freezer.
