Official Intel P67/Z68 Motherboard Comparison List & OC Results

Track · Jan 16, 2011

(I specifically made the spreadsheet extend fully so that the motherboard name and its specifications can be viewable at the same time, without having to scroll)

This is a free-to-edit spreadsheet that I pray you all edit with your results.
Otherwise, use it to decide which motherboard/CPU is right for you!

F.A.Q.

Q. Why did you create this comparison list/thread?
A. I was making it for myself, because I love making lists and had the idea of posting it on OCN, where I had recently stopped lurking and started posting.

Q. Why aren't you listing the lesser-known, lower-quality manufacturers - doesn't that just make it a 'Which P67 boards I think are decent' comparison list?
A. No. It simply lacks the boards which are not worth anyone's time, that don't fill any price-gap and are possibly not even available in the United States.

Q. Will you edit the main comparison list if I think there is something wrong/missing?
A. Yes! If there is something wrong - inform me immediately. If there is something, that you believe should be added, ask me, either I will update it on the spot or, if it is something of a personal opinion, I'll post it on the thread and if enough people agree/want the same thing - it will be added.

Q. Can I edit the OC Results freely and without needing a Gmail account?
A. Yes! Not only can you, but you should!

Q. What does "Dual (@ x4)" mean and how much performance would I lose if I SLi/Crossfire on such board?
A. Unfortunately, it means that when two cards are placed in both the x4 and x16 slots, they will Both work as x4. As such, according to all latest benchmarks, you will lose ~15-20% compared to x8/x16 SLi/Crossfire boards, which are virtually identical in performance.

Q. In regards to the new Z68 boards - when will the list be complete?
A. The Z68 boards are in constant update, based on the availability of the information on the manufacturers' websites. As soon as it gets listed, I will add it!

Q. Can I help in completing the Z68 portion of the list?
A. Yes! If you see a Z68 that has been listen on the manufacturers' website but has not been added yet - post a reply!

Looks like that UD7 is the nastiest P67 on the market, huh? I like it!

Sin0822 · Jan 16, 2011

I think the VRM on the ASUS boards are incorrect, they use much larger VRMs.

Also where did you get those pricing? The official MSRP on the UD7 is $329

They don't look bigger to me. But the Maximus IV extends the MOSFET heatsink over them.

Correct. The price on Newegg is 320$. I was looking at Amazon.com. I will update it shortly.

Missing the Biostar TP67XE. Quite possibly the best value out there.

I looked it over and decided not to include Biostar. Newegg doesn't carry their high-end P67 boards and most of what they do carry is not available.

If enough people request it, I will surely add Biostar, though.

ugotd8 · Jan 16, 2011

um, ok.

reflex99 · Jan 16, 2011

the GD55 and GD65 are both 6 phase

and the C45 down are all 4 phase

EDIT:and i wouldn't really call the GD55 mosfet cooler inferior. It is perfectly adequate, it just lacks the heatpipe connecting the two

cmeeks · Jan 16, 2011

P67A-UD5 - done! Or UD7 if you have the cash. That was easy

.

You can count them

reflex99 · Jan 16, 2011

1. I own this board, and there are 6

2. In that picture there are 6

The P8P67 will do CFX at 16x/4x.

I didn't include PCIe x4 CF. I think most people will agree with me on this.

Like I said, if enough people disagree, I will change anything.

newegg does carry the biostar P67

i also think it's the best value P67, which is why i bought one

Yes, Newegg has one or two Biostar P67 boards, but not all of them, and not the high-end ones.

That's two people in favor of Biostar. One more and I'll add it

Capwn · Jan 16, 2011

Why no Biostar love?

IDK

The board is crossfire capable.
And the fact that using the second pci-e slot still allows for 16x on the primary, people should know that.

* Added Biostar

What about Jetway, Intel, EVGA and ECS?

I wouldn't

Jetway.
The Intel boards are cheap, feature-less nothings compared to the ones given. They have no purpose or need.
I could say the same about ECS, but if enough people want ECS, I will surely add it.

And eVGA..? They don't have any boards out at the moment. There is the P67 SLi, but that is yet to be released.

Ghostleader · Jan 16, 2011

I thought you should have a more complete list of P67 motherboard but never mind.

Jetway, yea i agree.

Intel, are very sturdy boards, and the current top P67 board, is very good.

ECS, is a very good brand, and their Hydra board is a very good deal considering the features it is packing

SecrtAgentMan · Jan 16, 2011

You forgot the EVGA P67 SLi

Link

EDIT: Whoops guess it's still not released, guess you can add it later on.

I could do that. But why waste my time doing something that will ultimately only confuse my readers? I only list boards people should buy/look at.

Like I said, from what I've seen, the Intel boards look worse than Jetway. I'm just going by the Intel site. If you know of a really good Intel board, PM it to me.

ECS I've been 50/50 on. If someone else wants it, I'll list it. I just don't see why they're needed when the current list occupies all the regents of the price field with good boards.
