ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Performance LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I've had this board for a long time over a year and just as of a few days ago finally got around to Overclocking and have had a great experience. This board was easy to setup and I haven't had a single problem since I've had it

Cons: no complaints about board not sure why the reviews are so bad

Other Thoughts: this board was much cheaper when I initially bought this board and had 4.5/5 eggs back then

i5 2500k running flawless for past year (running at 4.2ghz now with no issues)
asrock p67 performance

Pros: It's compatible with Sandy Bridge; it needs a bios update for Ivy Bridge. It's not rocket science. Even the Toms Hardware article mentioned this.

Cons: None

Pros: Thank goodness for peer reviews.

Cons: Manufacturer Response:

Other Thoughts: I was about to purchase this MB. Luckily I stopped to see what recent customers had to say. One would think that the manufacturer would recall the effected boards and correct the issue. Think I will look elsewhere.

Pros: The design flow is awsome. Open, accessable, Doesn't even need a case, could be use as a Built out of Box computer.

Cons: DOA, Error 55 just like the others. Will not post. Also, something is strange about the memory ports. One Side does not open, it's locked or something.

Other Thoughts: Error 55 is "Memory not installed" in the manuel. I'm pretty sure I have it installed properly even with the locked memory port tabs.

Pros: Can't say at this point because I have not received the chip to update BIOS for use with Ivy Bridge processor.

Cons: If you have an Ivy Bridge processor, be prepared to endure multiple unanswered emails and unreturned telephone messages. My first email about this went out December 27.

Be advised that they won't send you the updated BIOS without an invoice for the board.

Other Thoughts: Memo to customer service: No need to tell me via cut-and-paste how sincerely sorry you are and how you will assist me shortly.

Pros: -Easy overclocking
-Despite
-Has 2 usb3.0 on the I/O panel

Cons: -Despite having usb3.0 slots the mb itself does not have the support for for the usb3 slots on my chasis (Thermaltake Level10)

Other Thoughts: I see a string of bad reviews, so buying it may be a gamble. If it works though I assure you it will do you well.

Pros: 3 E-Mails from ASROCK about the BIOS error; Deisy (2) &
John.

Cons: DOA will not run Intel i7-3770K.

Other Thoughts: I thought of a solution for ASROCK P67 motherboard BIOS
problem; Dr. Debug 55 (not 22). I bought a $48 Celeron CPU
G530. This should work with the MB BIOS 1.0. Now I get "d6"
No Console output devices are found. This is with a EVGA GTX
550 in the PCIE2 slot. New video card EVGA 8400 GS; same
"d6." Went to a SIS 6326 PCI slot = "d6." Next no video cards
in any slot = "d6." All video cards work in other units. NO NEW
BIOS DIP AT THIS LOCATION

Pros: None...DOA due to outdated bios

Cons: This board should come with warning that it will not work with Ivy bridge and imho should be shipped with the updated bios chip. What good is a board that won't post? I don't happen to have any cpu's sitting around that I can use just to get this thing running at updated. Very disappointed as I bought this for the build I was doing for my daughter for Xmas. Yes, I read reviews but the ones refering to the bios issue were not visible at the time. I have one very disappointed daughter and given the reviews I see now, I'm not sure if I should return MB or try to get the updated bios chip...either way it is more waiting for my daughter.

Other Thoughts: This MB has made me feel like the worst parent on earth. Way to go AsRock

Pros: none that I am aware of yet

Cons: Got one egg because zero was not an option. So this board ships with an outdated bios...you can download bios update but thats's kind of hard when it wont post...but wait... I hear you can get one from AsRock support for $15.00!!! This was supposed to be an Xmas present for my daughter but can't get it running with outdated bios, gives a memory error, I will never buy this brand again.

Other Thoughts: Trying too decide if I should just get a different MB ...or try to get the updated bios

Pros: Fast and Flexible. Good overclocking options. Looks cool. Outside clear cmos button.x Looks to be high quality. Made by Asus.

Cons: Some of the newer motherboard enhance software updated products are incompatible.

Other Thoughts: I recommended it. I've had dozens of motherboards and this among the best I've used.
