Completely ignoring the B3 issue, did your P67 work fine out of the box? No RMAs, no boot/standby issues, fires(!), freezes, struggling with BIOS updates, whatever.

Fiddling to get a stable bleeding edge OC doesn't count as a problem.

I didn't jump to 775 until it was fairly mature, but I'm still seeing more than a few threads with users struggling with even updated B3 boards. I can't say I ever recall seeing manufacturer reps assisting users directly on the forum before.
 
After I figured out that not all drives play friendly on the 6gb intel ports everything went pretty smooth with my setup. I cant complain. Even the OC was pretty simle (even though you don't count that). I had to get used to the uEFI but wasn't to bad.
 
Don't have all of my SSD drives installed yet, and only using two sticks of ram atm, but i've been 100% problem free, this install is a week or two old.

Vanilla Asus P8P67
i5 2500K
2 sticks DDR3 1333mhz 1.5v, adding in another two sticks soon.
Regular spinning hard disk just for now, will migrate/swap in my SSD drives soon,
 
I had no problems (yet); system runs a bit warm over clocked to 4ghz on stock cooler and prime95 for a couple of hours; otherwise it runs cool:
msi gd65 B3 bios 1.18
i5 2500k
2 sticks ddr3 pc1600 1.5v g.skill cl 9 (2x4gb)
G2 ssd 120gb for boot disk
powercolor 6950
-
booted the first time I turned it on; seems to be stable (24 hours of prime95). A few minor complaints:
it will turn off when entering sleep mode under load (if idle it enters sleep mode correctly)
can't configure ps/2 keyboard to wake but not boot machine
this board has no diagnostics if video does not function
jfp1/jfp2 blocks the second video card (simply a bad layout via msi)
 
I would say for the most part my system has ran fine since the initial power on, however, there is a couple outstanding issues that I would like too see solved.

1.) My Pioneer DVR-216 does not seem compatible with this board on the Intel ports. It consistently freezes Windows boot on the splash screen. Putting it onto the Marvel ports fixes the problem. I am looking into getting a newer model Blu Ray burner to hopefully remedy this.

2.) For the life of me I cannot understand why the onboard Realtek NIC likes to constantly disconnect itself and drop off my router when in use. Very annoying that only a reboot of the system and/or router can fix until it happens the next time of course. I am on the latest bios on my board and latest drivers from Realtek and it still happens. Not completely unusable but not like my Marvel or Intel NIC I had on my previous board that never did such things.

In terms of successfully powering on and posting this system has been great. Post is a bit slow and clunky but it works. Ram worked right out of the box at advertised timings/volts.
 
Only problems I have had are "bleeding edge OC" stability issues, now resolved at 1.48V (WTF), so yes mine worked fine OOTB! Well sleep doesn't work at high OCs but that's a well known Intel issue.
 
My only issue is there are so many options for overclocking that I feel like a complete newb again! But hopefully I'll be able to tweak it all to perfection. :D
 
Would not boot at first. I had to press on the Memory compatibility button of my Asus P8P67 Deluxe. Took me a while to figure that out. ;-) The only ongoing issue is wake from sleep while system is overclocked. I use that feature alot. Can't wait to get it fixed.
 
I was almost surprised, but I didn't have a single issue with my build (P8P67/2500K/8GB G-Skill RAM). First boot and it started up fine, quite a relief after not touching the inside of a PC other than a graphics card upgrade for over 3 years.
 
everything worked together nicely, no problems AT ALL. wow, it was my first high perf build in 10 years and there was just too many things that could be doa or not be compatible.. but it all worked out great.

My P8P67 Pro works nicely once I resolved a compatibility issue between a FW800 card and the mobo. The FW800 card would not allow me to overclock my i7-2600K above 4.1GHz. Once the FW800 card was removed from the system I got it to run to at least 4.7GHz (I tried 4.8GHz, but the temperature of one of the cores began to exceed 83°C - and I like to keep the full-load core temperatures at least 15°C below the CPU's thermal throttle-down temperature of 98°C).
 
Yep first I got the ASROCK Extreme 6 was great board,set it back after recall and got a refund..Then I decided to buy the Maximus Extreme 4 when i came out since I didnt want to wait any longer..Both boards ROCK and had no troubles.
 
no problems with my i5 2500k + Intel DP67DE matx (besides overclocking)

build everything, turn on... woot :D
 
I have built 17 machines with the 67 chipset from Gigabyte, ASUS, and MSI pre and post B3. I haven't had one problem.
 
No problems with my sig rig (with B2 mobo). Put it together, updated the bios, installed windows, got everything setup, then overclocked a little once I got my new heatsink. Smooth sailing the whole way.
 
To the 1 in 4 who have answered 'no' so far, what fixed it? RMA, bios update, different RAM, etc?

Regarding the standby/OC issue, at what speed does it present itself?
 
I would like to know the same. I have yet to try putting mine to sleep and see if it will wake up. Then again most overclocked systems don't play well with sleep.
 
No problems with either my B2 board or B3 board. The only 'issue' was the LAN driver wasn't recognized by Windows 7 and had to be installed from the included CD. When I swapped out from B2 to B3, I had to reinstall the LAN driver, but everything else was fine.
 
I keep having reboot issues with mine. Just would randomly reboot. Been up for 3 days now np's so far. Ended up slip streaming windows 7 sp1 onto my copy and seams fine now. I still get the hung up reboot thing some times. But i'm just happy it's not randomly rebooting any more. Scare to turn it off since it's working so well now lol

Rebooting due to a faulty motherboard or other hardware/software/settings?

Sounds like you haven't pinned it down yet.
 
booted up on the first try and haven't had a single issue yet.
 
Put my Sabertooth P67 together two days ago, no issues at all. I initially booted with one stick of Corsair Vengeance and set to optimized defaults added second stick of ram. Installed Win7 x64 SP1 with no issues.

Started by updating the Intel INF drivers, IME, ATI Cat 11.3, Intel NIC Pro 16.1 and proceeded with the few Windows Updates required. I have not installed Intel's RST. I also use the Performance power setting and set disks to never sleep. Disabled the Marvell and JMicron controllers as well as the COM port.

I have been installing software and playing Mass Effect in that time. Over night I ran Prime 95 torture test, defaults.

HW Monitor reads 27-30 Celsius idle and the max I obtained with Prime 95 was 50. Aida64 gives me lower temps.

One caveat: This morning I booted and my Titanium HD wasn't working, had to reinstall the driver to get it to work. I believe this may have been due to U3 Mode and that the x1 slot sharing with USB3 3/4.

I've started to OC this morning, with a mild 38 multiplier for all cores. The max I experienced was always 35. I'll probably bump up to 40 in a couple days.
 
P8P67 would not boot/post-- and got no video signal. RMA in progress now.
 
My P8P67 has worked great from day 1. I put it in fired her up and she has been on ever since. She has been restarted several times but basically she has been on since January.

I haven't had a single BSOD or anything else. I am even running a 4.5ghz OC without issue.

This has been the single most stable platform I have used yet.

Shit I voted no by mistake
 
So far, so good. I hope my i7 arrives today, so I can do a quick CPU switch-a-roo :)

Had this issue as well but was expecting it. Completely painless swapping to P67 otherwise...ignoring the personal problems I had getting my B2 board exchanged that is :)
