Board Software

For the included software, the ASUS P8P67 Pro includes one of the most comprehensive packages we've seen yet. The main utility "AI Suite II" wraps all other previously separate software into one big tool, which provides access to all of the included utilities through a simple, easy to use interface, with a similarly themed GUI throughout. Access to the "DIGI+ VRM" control, "EPU" control, voltage and clock tuning, and even monitoring are all rolled into one tool, providing one of the best solutions we have ever come across. Except for one thing; there is so much included it can almost be overwhelming, with many options for just about every aspect of the board all user-adjustable. Thanks to the clever controls, while it can be daunting, the simplicity with which you can navigate through the interface makes what could potentially be a bad tool wonderful to work with. You can even remove any of the tools you do not require to make the interface even simpler to use.


For us, this is what ASUS has always done best; they provide the most user-friendly products, and it's a theme that shows throughout the ASUS P8P67 PRO, from the board layout, to the BIOS, finally to the included software, ASUS has definitively shown that the end user experience is their main focus, and execution is as near flawless as anyone could hope for. The question remains, though; do we have to sacrifice performance to gain simplicity? Click the next page to find out.
