ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Been running at stock speeds for a couple weeks and have not had any type of stability issue or crash. Yet to have a dual boot issue or any problem with standby/ sleep mode.

Cons: CM hyper 212 barely touches my RAM (Gskill Ripjaws) in the first slot. Does not seem to be an issue. I could nitpick a couple things but no real problems.

Overall Review: This was my first build so I have yet to try any overclocking. Rips through whatever i throw at it with a 2500k and a 6950. A lot of people seem to be having issues with this board but it has worked flawless for me. Shipped with updated bios. Maybe everyone's problems are from bad overclock settings, or maybe I am just lucky and got a good board. Who knows?

Intel Core i5-2500K - Core i5 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I52500K

Pros: Runs cold and fast with my CM Hyper 212. Have yet to overclock (have not seen a need for it) but do not foresee having any problems when I decide to.

Cons: Maybe buy a better heat sink to go with it?

Pros: Recognized on boot with no issue. Read my Windows 7 disc fine. Played a couple movies on it too just to test it. Works great and cheap too.

Cons: It's not completely silent. The little noise it makes shouldn't bother you.

Overall Review: It's an OEM drive. You won't get any cables or software with this. Make sure you know that before you buy.

Pros: It works.

Cons: The heat sinks touch my CM hyper 212 in my p8p67 pro. Does not seem to be an issue though.

Cons: Start shipping without all the packaging frills and let me save 5 bucks.
