Testurteil: "Must-Have-Product"
Test: Einzeltest: ASUS P8P67 Deluxe Socket 1155 Motherboard
Zitat: The ASUS P8P67 Deluxe is slightly ahead of the Pro model we reviewed way back in January, during the launch of the Sandy Bridge and Cougar Point chipset. On the surface you may be thinking all that with the Deluxe, all you are getting extra over the Pro is the added SuperSpeed front panel and a few more power phases. There is slightly better cooling on the Deluxe, enhanced EPU power saving and HyperDuo which will combine a SSD and mechanical HDD into a Hybrid (effectively making the SDD a high-performance cache drive). ASUS also put all of their usual features that are generally reserved for their higher end motherboards. The Q-series of features like Q-Shield, Q-Connector, Q-Slot and Q-DIMM. All of these features make for a safer, but quicker build. Our favorite has to be the Q-DIMM as with this feature you don’t have to worry about bumping into with the video card when installing or removing your RAM modules. Overclocking is made just as easy with the Deluxe as the rest of ASUS´ boards thanks to the TurboEVO applications. This hand app can do it all for you and in a much shorter time. We spent a fair share of time in the BIOS overclocking the board, but utlimately found out the application got us basically same performance numbers and clocks, just without all the hassle. And speaking of software applications the ASUS AI Suite has to be one of the most useful out there. You have control of fan speeds, sensor readouts, as well as all the settings needed to overclock. The Deluxe is no turtle when it comes to performance and random benchmark tests; for $240 it best not be. At $240 the Deluxe is priced at the upper range for P67 motherboards. Is the few extra dollars over the Pro worth it? Maybe. To each their own when considering the system´s roll! But it´s an excellent board if you do make the plunge.
