The best and the most modest motherboard I have ever seen is the SABERTOOTH P67. You will obviously get impressed by its design and lots of feature in single piece. There is not much to complain about this board. The Key features are:

• Intel LGA1155 CPU socket for Intel 2nd Generation Core i7/ i5/ i3 Processors
• Intel P67 Express Chipset
• TUF Thermal Armor - full amount Airflow-Boosting temperature Dissipation
• TUF Thermal Radar - instantaneous Temperature Detection and Heat elimination
• TUF gears [Alloy Choke, Cap. & MOSFET; specialized as a result of Military-standard] - expert in favor of sturdy task
• E.S.P. [Efficient Switching Power Design] - most favorable power efficiency for major components

When we foremost looked at the ASUS ROG Crosshair IV Extreme, it appeared like simply a beefier edition of the Crosshair IV Formula through 4 well spaced out PCIe x16 extension slots, a tougher VRM, and hardly any further ASUS-exclusive goodies terrified within. The Crosshair IV Extreme is unusual from its lesser, more admired sibling, into treating the LucidLogix Hydra Engine chip that permits the user’s dual graphics cards crossways the arrays and GPU retailers. Whichever manner they would like to upscale performance or else attach features.

In order to reply the unique query, on the other hand, whichever of these Asus P8P67 mainboards on vending at Microcenter these days would seem to be fine by way of blue lights. The following are the nearly compatible motherboards which I got so far after several search. I hope that they will perform better with the combination of other specs. The following motherboards are well suited with Intel i5 processor.

• P8P67 LGA for $280
• P8P67 PRO LGA for $300
• P8P67 Deluxe for $340

The prices include the processor also.

I have found one motherboard called MSI P67A-C45 Motherboard but I don’t have any news about its sale. I think that you will get this board in the near future. The main thing is this motherboard is fully Sandy Bridge compatible. So you don’t need to worry about if you have bought the sandy Bridge processor already. The main features are:

• Military Class II gears: Peak superiority and stability
• OC Genie II: Auto overclock to boost performance in one second
• ClickBIOS: Easy-to-use UEFI BIOS user interface
• THX TruStudio PRO: deliver the total audio familiarity
• Carry USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/second
