In the short time since Intel released Sandy Bridge earlier this month, we have seen multiple new boards supporting all-new features from several different manufacturers. ASUS were among the first to launch with Intel, offering several different P67 / H67 motherboards to cover every segment of the market. Today we will be taking a look at the P8P67 EVO, one of nine new P67 Express motherboards from the Taiwan industry giant.

The P8P67 EVO is classified by ASUS as an enthusiast board and is one step down from the premium Deluxe model. As we will see shortly, the EVO is a feature-packed offering that includes onboard power and reset buttons, Intel LAN, powered eSATA and an upgraded heatpipe cooling design for the VRMs.


The ASUS P8P67 EVO arrived in a black box with white and gold accents. The front of the box features the specific model name and some key features while there is a more detailed specification breakdown on the reverse. We also have the P8H67-M EVO board on hand which features a very similar box design. The H67 was featured in our i5-2500K review so we could test out Intel's on-chip GPU.

ASUS have listened to their customers and went with a consistent layout on all of their new Sandy Bridge boards which happen to carry over to the box art.

Let's move ahead and take a look at the full features and specifications on the EVO P67 board.
