The P8P67 LE is ASUS's full-ATX Intel Sandy Bridge motherboard range with the B3 revision, meaning this Intel mainboard doesn’t suffer from the potential SATA issue that plagued the first generation of all Intel P67 motherboards. The ASUS P8P67 LE motherboard supports the Intel second generation Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3 processors in LGA1155 package. Manufactured in black and blue color scheme, the layout of ASUS P8P67 LE motherboard is decent for the most part. However, there simply isn’t enough space between the CPU socket and the first DRAM slot, preventing the installation of double height memory modules when you have a large tower cooler installed. Its I/O panel is adorned with eSATA and Firewire and you get eight USB ports and two of them are the USB 3.0 ports. ASUS P8P67 LE computer motherboard comes with seven expansion slots. There are two PCIe 2.0 x16, two PCIe 2.0 x1 and three legacy PCI slots. Due to the CrossFireX limitation, do not use the PCIe x1 slots when you install two CrossFireX graphics cards on both the PCIe x16 slots to set up a CrossFireX configuration. ASUS P8P67 LE Intel P67 Motherboard is offered only $137.95 by Amazon.com.

ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 mainboard comes with two PCI Express x16 slots working at x8 if both are used. If you just running a single discrete GPU, you must installed a loopback card (comes with board) on the first PCI Express x16 slot (the grey slot). The USB 3.0 on the ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 motherboard is provided by the NEC D720200F1 chip right below the back panel and has blue color. However, there are a couple of items that should be improved by ASUS. When you enabled the Turbo Key II feature, it actually hindered the performance by crippling the memory speed and timings. While this is a great feature for a novice, anyone who is into overclocking will skip this and tune it themselves and those who are not overclockers will actually lose performance with this. And, when two discrete GPU cards are used, the speeds drop down to x8 versus x16. With the speeds and technology that has been out for some time, it would be nice to have the full potential of our hardware to run them as fast as they are designed for.
