today we're gonna be doing a quick unboxing of the p8 P 67 le from a Seuss so cameraman has already jumped ahead of me and he's looking at all the different stuff down here so we have there this is their turbo whatever it's called turbo processing unit or something like that anyway between these two you can either boost up performance or you can improve energy efficiency let's just say that much here we have support for SATA 6 gigabits per second we have USB 3 and memo okay and I actually used the memo K button on an asus motherboard recently for the first time it actually works I was not able to post because the memory was not a hundred percent compatible with the P 67 chipset I used the memo K button and set it to a totally safe setting and I was able to get into the BIOS to adjust all the timings manually very neat certificate of assurance low radiation eco-friendly and anti surge well there it is okay it supports the any CPU on LGA 1155 so that is Core i5 core i7 CPUs on LGA 1155 it is not backwards compatible with LGA 1156 and you will ruin it something if you try and do that all right we have an EFI bios which is a very cool thing as well as AI suite which has all kinds of neat functionality like adjusting fan profiles that turbo thing the Eco thing as well as monitoring your temperature so let's get the board opened up and we have accessories whoa an IDE cable I haven't seen an IDE cable in a motherboard box in a little while actually so there's one here we have two SATA 2 right angle cables we have one say two three six gigabit per second right angle cable please note there's no physical difference between them other than the white color coding which doesn't matter here's an i/o shield here is a user's guide and here is a support DVD and powered by a su sticker download the latest from the assist website don't bother with that CD this is an le board so that is why we are seeing a fairly limited accessory package on this guy however that could be bad news check this out I found a jumper okay so this jumper was probably somewhere we are going to go on a voyage of discovery and try to figure out where this jumper came from my guess would be the chassis intrusion oh no oh here we go here we are clear this is a queen or CMOS there is no chassis intrusion thing so one to two is normal let's assume one to two is those two there we go so that's where that came from hopefully and here's the board so let's start in the middle where we have our LGA 1155 CPU socket which supports as I mentioned before all core i5 and core i7 tips on this platform that means because we're using the p67 chipset you have full support for overclocking k-series unlocked chips as well as turning up the turbo on turbo supporting processors but because it's p67 it will not support the onboard video on any of the core I Series second-generation chips here we have a wave style MOSFET heatsink it looks like this board is using like a four plus one phase power design as far as I can tell yeah alright to say that's what it looks like though so guys please correct me if I'm wrong on that one because it doesn't indicate anything on the box itself and that makes life difficult for Linus okay well let's keep on moving along then here is our eight pin CPU connector in its ideal location here is our dual channel ddr3 supporting slots so up to four slots up to I believe it can support up to 32 gigs of memory although please once again correct me if I'm wrong here's the mem okay button one IDE port check that out yo so if you have an IDE drive you want to use this is the board you want because most P 67 boards do not support IDE drives here's our 24 pin power connector it's ideal location here are a couple of SATA 3 6 gigabit per second ports and here's another one so that must be off the same controller as this IDE as this IDE port okay here is our chipset cooler so that's the i/o controller chip under there that's going to be running also the SATA 6 gigabits per second quartz as the sata3 gigabit per second ports here we have four front USB headers a firewire header we have apparently a clear CMOS jumper as well as a com1 header okay in terms of expansion slots at the p67 board so that means it is crossfire ready we do have support for one 16x card up here or dual 8x cards so that means if you want to run crossfire you will have enough bandwidth for two cards without any issues here we have two PCI slots three PCI slots this is a relatively low end board so that's something that I've come to expect because you may want to carry forward your sound card or some other PCI device we've got two PCIe 1x slots and this is a fairly ideal layout although maybe I'd prefer one more PCIe 1x slot accessible if you are running dual dual slot cards because you're going to be left with two PCI and one PCIe 1x if you're running a crossfire configuration so let's have a look at the i/o shield on the back of the board here we have dedicated ps2 ports for keyboard and mouse 2 USB 3.0 ports optical audio out 6 USB 2.0 ports we've got eSATA firewire Gigabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio out so nothing particularly exceptional about the back of the board except look at this asus is using screws spring mounted screws for the chipset cooler so that's that's a pretty nice touch I do like to see screws used for mounting coolers versus pushpins but it's not always possible for economic reasons thank you for checking out my unboxing of the asou speed or don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from Ron's
