from reviews ive read it seems to be a fine board and does o/clock well..id use it in a heartbeat for a modest 1155 system...2500k and your all set....you dont need much of a board to run these SB cpu's...voltage regulation looks good with 10 regulators..... sold out at newegg, must tell you...

Intel motherboards LGA1155

For what you are using your system for any of the top tier boards would do you fine..dont really believe intel branded boards are better than say asus, giga, msi,or even biostar....nothing wrong at all with intel but others are just as good... I also read that foxconn builds intel boards so...

MSI x58 pro i7 pci express 2.0 issue with sata controller

speed seems correct if its going through southbridge since board is pcie 2.0 compliant [right?] and usb3 if equipped is done through an add on controller...my dfi board has a x4 slot that manual says its through the southbridge...I run a tv card in it..all is good..

1155 MB recommendation

go z68...latest greatest for the same money as p67...plus extra features... the giga board looks to be a winner and the biostar board is also very good... with no o/clocking any board you like will work fine for your use...just go for the board that you like the best...
