They've (esp the XLE) has been well received over at overclocking site. Not really what you asked but the asrock extreme 4 seems the most problem free (I ended up with msi p67a-gd65; not real issues so far but two complaints:
jp1/jp2 block second pcie slot;
computer shuts down when it enter sleep state under load (not sure if this is intel, msi, windows issue; some folks seem to think it is related to sp1 patch for windows 7)
-
The boards was not too expensive (169 including tax at MC - after $25 discount)

Btw the current biostar B+ is a model below the XLE (that's the one that is commonly available inet/microcenter). Reviews have been mostly positive esp for the price point.
-
I really didn't need the msi p67a-gd65 but it was the cheapest board at the time I made my purchase.

I dont know about their P67 boards specifically but my AM3 Biostar has been a great stable little motherboard.

My question is related to this thread hence, I'll just be asking here.

When will Biostar B3 ship/replace/RMA their p67/h67/h61 motherboards? Did I just miss it or what?

Thanks.

I have a TP67B+ and been running it for a week. Had some issues at first but it was me not understanding the settings. Right now running my 2600K 4.6 at 1.334vcore stable. After getting the settings figured out I am happy with the price/performance of this board. I have been into windows at 5.0 but didn't raise the vcore enough to Prime it.

Is this micro h67 board basically the same as the p67 minus the ability to overclock? It seems to have good reviews and good features - and it's one of the only 1155 boards with a good combo deal. I'm thinking of pairing it with a 2400 or 2500 and using the integrated video for a while - then maybe getting a discrete card later. I guess I just want to know if there are any drawbacks to buy an h67 (other than no overclocking)?

No the H67 is a different chipset than the p67. Also the P67 B+ is a full size atx board.

Yeah I realize that...I'm looking for anything that would be considered a not-so-obvious downside to buying an h67 board. If there isn't one, the $25 savings is appealing.
