This mobo has an excellent array of features on to a well-laid-out board. Performance is solid at stock speeds and overclocking reached over 1GHz past the default speed. The UEFI BIOS is very good. For a mid-range mainboard it's quite expensive.

This is a high quality mainboard that will give you value for money. The new UEFI BIOS has many features and as far as overclocking is concerned, it's pretty clear that the people of ASUS have spent a lot of time ensuring that the P8P67 pro users would have a flawless experience with this mobo. The layout is OK, but large CPU coolers and tall memory heatsinks can potentially cause installation problems.

The reviewers found a number of small issues and one serious problem, being the inability to work at a memory frequency of 1600 MHz. On the ohther hand this board has made a very strong impression so far, it has many useful accessories and flexible EFI BIOS settings. This broad functionality is enhanced with a powerful combination of additional controllers.
