I built my PC nearly a month ago using the motherboard and waited all this time to get a feel before reviewing it. Simply fantastic MB and well worth the money. If you are torn between the cheaper P67 and this one like I was then I would strongly urge you to buy this as toy get some great better capabilities and an integrated graphics which scores 6.5 on WEI! If you are not a gamer then this should suffice for you. I just updated the BIOS to the latest version and my CPU temp suddenly dropped to 24 degrees Celsius from 30 degrees. No complaints from me as my pc is running cool. I am running it on the powersave mode aswell. Good motherboard with great potential from a reputable company. Buy with confidence. Might invest in a GTX560ti soon.

I've been running this Asus P8Z68-V board with an intel core i7 2600K for nearly two weeks now and I'm most definitely very happy with it. It did have its tiny quirks but nothing that couldn't be fixed with future firmware and driver releases. For instance, on boot a message briefly comes on the screen to say there's no HDD but then it promptly boots into windows, in ridiculously fast time I must add, with my Crucial S300 SSD leading the way. I've been told this is because the Marvel AHCI drivers need updating for best compliance with SSD drives, which I am about to do. Still that little quirk in no way affects its fantastic usability. Once loaded windows 7 performs rock solidly, and I've experienced no system freezes or lock-ups whatsoever. By the way, I did experience the "load balancing issue on boot which the other reviewer described above, but I'm happy to report that on my system at least, this has been fully fixed with the release of the very latest "06" bios released by Asus on the 29th of July 2011. Now the board just boots without restarting as it did before the bios update, I'm happy to report to you all.
Many professional reviewers are in agreement about this board, Guru 3d even going so far as to say "we like it. It's that typical Asus design that again is striking and offering a truckload of features. Asus takes that Z68 chipset and then adds, and adds, and adds. The end result is a motherboard with massive overclockability, great baseline performance and the industry's best EFI bios implementation." It's true what they say, that the "EFI" bios on this board is class leading - just what a 21st century bios should be - a GUI which you can even use your mouse to configure, and then you've the choice of whether you want a simple (its default) or an advanced interface. The latter giving users all the options you could possibly need.
I particularly liked reading in the Guru 3d review this - "we feel that Z68 is what should have been H67 and P67 these two chipsets stirred up a lot of confusion." In other words, that this board is indeed a far better choice than the more popular P67 (revision 3) boardAsus P8P67 PRO New B3 Rev Motherboard (P67 chipset ATX, Intel?s 1155 Socket, USB 3.0/Sata 6Gb/s, Bluetooth & Digi+VRM ) which most people have bought. And you might even have considered buying as it seems that more people have bought that one - so far, but you'd be missing out on this beauty, if you did. Anyway, now that I've bought and installed this board would I have bought it again, knowing what it's like to use? Most definitely, this board, with features a plenty, is a perfect match for a Core i7 2600K processor. Full marks for sure.

The ASUS motherboard is extremely good. Probably one of the best motherboards I have ever bought. Comes complete with a new USB 3 back plate, loads of USB2 slots, great design, good fault finding and other features. I'll mention the fault finding as it was of immediate use to me. There are now LEDS that lights up across the board when you boot up and it indicates what part of the board is going through POST so when the lights stop and flash at a particular point then you know that's where the problem is. There's lots of other good things going on and then there are some bad ones. The first annoying thing is the SATA connections. There's 4 of the new SATA 6Gb/Sec connections and there are 2 types. The booklet/instruction manual doesn't bother to explain what the difference is and how to make best use of them.
The other thing that's a little crap but seems like a good idea at the time is the AUto-Overclocking and some of the load balancing features. The auto over-clocker often fails (once a week) and reverts back to basics and yet I know absolutely that there are no bottlenecks in the system to cause this and I'm not overclocking to extremes but just a small percentage faster.
Load balancing means that the PC always does a restart every time you start it. It boots, checks the power loading and then reboots again. Why doesn't it hold the last settings and go with that unless you interrupt the POST and tell it to check again?
Finally this mother board comes with a Blue Tooth connector on the back. Fat lot of good it is as it doesn't soom to come with drivers either on the ASUS website or cd that comes with the motherboard so it eternally generates and error to the effect the BT driver is not found (It doesn't say Blue Tooth but BT). Finally ASUS really really need to sack the translator. They still write terrible documentation with the pigeon english being very frustrating. Given the USA and European markets you'd have thought they would at least get the language in their printer material right. Anyway other than these gripes the board is feature rich and seems to run extremely well.
