Still pick Asus P8P67 boards?

[jobz]

Now that the fixed B3 chipset is out, given a 2nd chance, would you still pick Asus P8P67 boards, considering the ongoing problems with their bios?

before the fix and after the fix..100% yes,own Pro,what problems?

I have not had a problem yet with mine I have a Pro and it performs great UEFI is still something new to be playing with so there will be bugs but the MB itself is solid. ASUS has been great about updates and such. I don't have much confidence in many companies but despite some laptop issues they made right I have always had quality products from them.

I'll be going with ASRock. It's not that I don't trust Asus to fix their issue, it's just...why go with a board that I know needs further fixing when I can go with one that may not have any more problems?

Mine is working great currently, I don't see any reason to not go with the replacement.

Mine is working great but still seems to have BIOS issues, like there is no real DEFINITIVE version yet...

It happens so fast on boot, but I STILL see a message that says "No hard device (or hard drive) detected..."

How can that be when both my SSD and HDD are working fine?

I have the ASRock Extreme 4 and I like it a lot. Knock on wood, haven't had any of the glitches that I was reading others having with Asuses.

The funny thing about UEFI bios is.....even though the ASRock has them, I generally just jump up and down with arrow keys and find its easier than floating around with a mouse, then clicking on the box, then back to the keyboard to type in a multiplier or voltage number. Not that UEFI is a bad thing, but I guess I don't see it as such an incredible productivity improvement or WOW factor as others, now that I've actually been exposed to it.

GB has some wacky bios issues. I can't buy a stable overclock with anything over their F4 bios. I'd go with ASROCK.

have you set HDD priority correctly in bios?

Yeah, SSD first then HDD...

Yeah, SSD first then HDD...

if you can see you SSD in bios as first then you fine ,i see this message for like 1/2 sec. when posting
"No hard device (or hard drive) detected..."
it's all bios related ,hopefully the new 13xx and USB drift fix / updated Marvell/Intel MEI controller firmware will do the trick ,it's new platform this things are bound to happen,it takes time tho

Can someone plug in Two (2) USB 3.0 hard drives on the USB 3 ports and tell me
if they are both available?

Currently, on my Asus P67 board, only one USB 3.0 Drive (western digital passport SE)
can be seen by the machine at one time no matter if plugged into a USB 3 or USB 2 port.

Have you got any of your drives on the Marvel ports? I'm not sure, but I think this hard drive check refers only to them.
I don't think it's that bad, but if you're not using them you can disable them in the BIOS, it could maybe save you 1-2 seconds on boot time.
