Fazit

General   + -
In our opinion the P67A-UD7 is without a doubt one of the most beautiful boards ever introduced to the market. The layout has been very well thought and there is only one thing which could have been done better. The concerns the PCI-Express slot which has been placed right next to the northbridge cooler. As a result it is almost useless. On the other hand there are the connectors at the bottom edge which are always accessible. There won't be any graphics cards covering them because there is a PCI slot inbetween.
Once again we have to mention the new color scheme: we have been very surprised that Gigabyte had the courage to now produce boards with an entirely new design!

Layout   + -

Generally the Gigabyte P67A-UD7s layout is very well thought. Once more very practical are the angled SATA connectors as well as the power- and reset-buttons. Also the debug display can become very useful in case you should have issues with a component in your system or the board itself. Furthermore the placement of the PCI-Express x16 slots is well thought too and therefore nothing needs to be criticized at this point. The only thing we didn't like about the layout concerns the PCI-Express x1 slot right next to the northbridge cooler. It has been place that close the it's almost useless.

  - Angled SATA connectors
- Power/Reset-Button onboard
- Debug display
- Connectors a the bottom edge accessible in any case
 
- PCI-Express x1 slot too close to the northbridge cooler

Bis dato war ich bezüglich Ästhetik von Mainboards von EVGA am meisten angetan. Das UD7 gefällt mir aber noch besser als die EVGA Bretter, da es mir noch einen Tick aufgeräumter erscheint

 Re:
Sehr schickes Board

Euch ist da jedoch ein kleiner Fehler unterlaufen. Unter dem Punkt Layout im letzten Absatz steht folgender erster Satz, der meiner Meinung nach glaub ich falsch ist:

"Auf dem ASUS P8P67 Deluxe werden North-, Southbridge sowie die Spannungswandler mittels einer Heatpipe bei angenehmen Temperaturen gehalten."

Lieben Gruß,
