Stay with p67 till p87 comes out.
The issue with using the Intel® Core™ i5-3570K on the P67 chipset based board is most likely you are going to be losing a couple of the advantages of the 3rd generation Intel Core processors. Most of the older P67 boards won't support PCI-E 3.0. Or newer software features like the Intel SRT or the latest Lucid Virtu.
My 2500k is at 4.5ghz and I've taken it up to 5ghz and in both cases all the power saving features work great and it idles at 1600mhz and very low voltage.Currently it is at 4GHz, not a true hardcore OC due to wanting to take advantage of power saving during non-intensive load.
Was wondering how the new chips did with P67, as replacing a board that does not *need* replacement is a big hassle.
Wasn't there an issue where the Ivy Bridge chips were stuck at a lower multiplier on P67 boards? Or has that been fixed with BIOS updates?The issue with using the Intel® Core i5-3570K on the P67 chipset based board is most likely you are going to be losing a couple of the advantages of the 3rd generation Intel Core processors.

More like z88. p series died with the 6 series.
Speaking of chipset names, the Santa Clara, California-based company will follow its existing pattern, leading to Z87, H87 and Z85 branding for consumer desktop motherboards and Q87, Q85 and B85 chipsets for corporate / SMB mainboards.
Wait, what advantages would z88 hold over Z77? Or is this being made up right now?
Keep the 2500k and crank it up! There would be little to gain from Ivy Bridge using the P67 chipset. I see no reason you couldn't match Ivy's performance edge by a higher overclock. Most likely you'd be able to exceed it due to Ivy's nasty temps....Unless your 2500k is a total dog of a chip at least.
