There are 2 things on my P67 that piss me off.

*The occasional well-known COLD BOOT issues P67/SB have.
*Sleep issues. Never have been able to have sleep work correctly with a 4.6-4.8 OC.

In your experience, have these problems been fixed with IB/Z77?

Board I'm looking at picking up is an ASUS P8Z77-V w/3770K @ 4.6.
 
Haven't run into those issues (yet), though my OC is currently only 4.5. My system was unstable at 4.8 and I was a bit uncomfortable with the temps at 4.6 (will change TIM and try again).
 
I have a V Pro with a 3770k (and a clean install of Win 7 x64) and it's been rock solid at 4.5 GHz. I could probably squeeze a bit more but the difference in performance between 4.5 GHz and 4.6 GHz are minimal in real world terms vs the extra heat generated. No cold boot issues here, although I have Sleep disabled as I don't use it.....
