Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you have noticed the following issues with the p67 series boards from Asus:

  1. Very poor Bluetooth signal range
  2. interference on Realtek audio ports when using S/PDIF and analogue for different sounds
  3. Asus AI not remembering EPU settings (bios does though)

tia,

1) IME this is standard for onboard bluetooth, probably because it is at the back of the case. I acutally have disabled mine and use a dongle with an adapter so i can position on my desk. They are so cheap now anyway it does not worry me.

2) To be honest no worse than any other onboard solution i have used (ie yes it can be there but if anything it is less so than on my other boards).

3) not noticed so no comment

And for the record despite somewhat defending the board in this instance, I do not like my P8P67 and think this is the worst asus board i have ever used, its less stable, has annoying boot issues and generally i have no faith in it.
 
yeah, this is my 3rd Asus board and is not the same quality as my previous ones. (Athon XP, and PII/Celeron).
I should have got the UD4 from Gigabyte, but I do like the BIOS EFI.
What boot issues do you have?
 
takes up to 3 attempts for it to boot without turning off.

then when in windows some games hang

as soon as i try to use the auto overclocking it hard locks.

whilst my B2 board had the multiple boot issues, at least it was stable. i will be trying another bios tonight as well as a few other things reccomended, there is 1 newer bios than the one on the B3 board i think.
 
No boot problems to report.
In fact I bought a mobo speaker just to make sure it beeps every time. (System so quiet, you cannot tell otherwise).

I get some 30 second hangs within windows, but that I think is done to either some software or drivers (the CPU usage does not spike, system just does nothing, though the ps/2 mouse still moves around.

Anyone tried the new BIOS?

SSD on the Intel controller SATA ports?

If so disable LPM. Registry key to do it Here.

I was getting seconds to infinite freezes with it on. Disable > Reboot > Fixed.
