This mobo has features such as Onboard Bluetooth, digital PWM, UEFI BIOS and a hardware based system tuning. Performance was what was to be expected and in some cases somewhat higher than the reference systems. One suprising feature of the P8P67 is how ASUS has provided two PCI Express x16 slots but locked the bandwidth down so that only one slot was operating at full bandwidth.
