TinTin@OCQQ Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 The new generation LGA 1155 platform will be announced very soon. With some pretests I have done, good performance clock to clock to i7 4C8T, though my 2300k ES (2.8G default but has 4C8T) is not very outstanding, running at 4.5G 24/7 is good enough, lower temperature in both in CPU and Chipset, SATA 6.0 & USB 3.0 supporting, I am very willing to build a new desktop as my workstation to replace my old E6600 P35 platform. Here is my new P67 MB, Asus P8P67 Deluxe: The Features - Dual Giga Lan, Double USB 3.0, Bluetooth, DIGI+VRM and new generation EFI BIOS....etc The MotherBoard and Accessories: Here we see the MB.......
