The ASRock P67 Performance  target is the mainstream market, so the bundle is certainly not as rich as in the "Professional" enthusiast version. However, like the P67 Professional, this mainboard has greatly impressed us in terms of ease of overclocking. Moreover, we found a perfect management of the LLC. In fact, using the higher settings, like level 1 or 2, vDROOP basically disappears, which is a behavior that up to now we found exclusively on ASRock motherboards. This confirms the good quality of the powering system.

Another important feature granted by ASRock is the CCO (Combo Cooler Option) which allows the user to assemble safely on this motherboard "old generation" heatsinks such as those designed for a previous Intel socket (LGA-775).

With respect to the bundle, it is true that it is not abundant, but nothing is missing, and the ports dedicated to the most obsolete interfaces such as floppy, allows the use of obsolete devices.

Obviously, being a low level mainboard, it lacks support for multi-GPU configurations, but this does not seem to be a "minus".  Of course, those who aspire to enthusiast configurations should choice the more powerful "P67 Professional".

The P67 Professional comes out at a target price of 110 €, so it is highly recommended, if not unmissable, among motherboardsin this price range! We are absolutely certain that even the most demanding user (in terms of overclocking) will be almost completely satisfied.

PROs

• Load Line Calibration of good behavior
• CCO (Combo Cooler Option)
• Price
• Fatal1ty Design

CONs

• Only one PCI Express x1
• Only two USB 3.0

We would thanks ASRock for the motherboard reviewed.
