We've recently trickled out previews of the upcoming motherboards based on the Intel P67 and H67 Express chipsets. There we were able to showcase the motherboards and list some of the features, but we couldn’t take a deep dive into the actual performance of the boards along with the BIOS. This was because the Sandy Bridge NDA hadn’t yet lifted, but now that we have that out of the way and everyone has read up on Intel's second generation Core architecture, we can at last reveal all about the new 6-series chipset based motherboards. So, this time around we won't just be taking a look at the motherboards, we will actually install them in our system and run all the models through our benchmarking testbed at both stock and overclocked settings.
In this roundup we are going to be examining three high-end motherboards all using the P67 Express chipset. The new P67 is an consumer based chipset that includes enthusiast grade features such as support for CrossFireX/SLI, Intel Extreme Tuning, SATA 6Gb/s and native RAID support. Of course these are only the standard options for the chipset as each of the boards in this roundup also include additional features that greatly exceed the stock specifications. Some of the enhancements include up to four USB 3.0 ports, improved cooling, the use of all high-end components and built-in overclocking tools.
