Intel DP67BG vs Asus P8P67 B3

[Orija]

The Intel DP67BG and the Asus P8P67 B3 are the two mobos that I've come down. Being a first-timer to computer building, I'm pretty much ignorant about what to look for in a mobo.

I won't be SLI/Crossfire-ing. The number one criteria for me is of course durability and stability. Other than that, I don't really require any superfluos stuff, just that all the basic features should be present.

Cpu: 2500k
Gpu: 6950 Toxic or GTX 570

PS: Would a big-ass graphic card like the 6950 pose a problem on any of the two?

The Intel® Desktop Board DP67BG is one of our better performance oriented boards. It is rock solid and stable. About the only drawback for it if you want to call it that is that you won’t be able to overclock as high on it as you would on the Asus P8P67 board. The card shouldnt be a problem.

Look, I've had nothing but problems with the recent ASUS products, and having discussed this with others it appears to be a general trend.

The company seems to be going downhill recently in terms of hardware and support. Personally, I'd recommend you steer clear of any of their hardware at least for the time being.

I have HEARD good things about Intel boards.

I HAVE the ASUS P8P67 Pro board (with 2500k). I am on my third board. The first was the B2 Sata recall, but the second board died after a week. I noticed on the second two boards, the solder bubbles on the mounting holes were missing, showing signs that it may have been previously installed. This pissed me off and ASUS stated the board was new upon my questioning.

The third board is running fine, BIOS is pretty good, I have the CPU OCd to 4.3 with CM 212+.
