Overall

After diving into the P8P67 EVO and throwing everything we could at it, I came out extremely impressed. This good looking board has the performance to back it up and a strong feature set including an Intel NIC, Bluetooth v2.1, and 8 internal Sata ports. SLI and Crossfire support is icing on the cake for those of you looking to have top notch gaming performance. Not only is the board feature rich, but I also found the EFI BIOS to be both easy to use and packed full of features. The same can be said for the included software, packing almost all of their programs into one integrated program was a breath of fresh air. Hats off to their software team, this is what pushes a good product to the top. My only complaint is the bandwidth limitations on the PCI lanes, if you plan on using the third PCI Express x16 slot you may be surprised to find out that one USB 3.0 port. Your eSATA slots, and the PCI Express x1 slots all stop working. Even with that issue I would highly recommend this motherboard.  I can’t wait to get our hands on Asus’s next offering, if the EVO is any indication it should be a pleasure.

You might call him obsessed or just a hardcore geek. Wes's obsession with gaming hardware and gadgets isn't anything new, he could be found taking things apart even as a child. When not poking around in PC's he can be found playing League of Legends, Awesomenauts, or Civilization 5 or watching a wide variety of TV shows and Movies. A car guy at heart, the same things that draw him into tweaking cars apply when building good looking fast computers.

That's the one bad thing about Sandybridge, the shortage of PCI-e. Anyone wanting to use a Revo Drive had better be prepared to sacrifice a bunch of stuff to get it to work. Hopfully someone will make a board with a NF200 chip on it, adding more lanes.

I agree Chris but those Revo Drives are not cheap. I am fine with my ol' Intel SSD.

The new Revo drives average 1330mb/sec transfere. If I didn't have this motherboard and had the money for one of the smaller ones, I'd get it. Maybe with the Christmas bonus, unless there's new GPUs out that need buying.
