How to choose a Sandy Bridge Motherboard

[Superpilotv2 2]

Are all of you aware of the Chipset problem?http://www.simforums...topic38507.htmlI would wait with a new build...

I thought they have fixed all the problems with revision 3. Not? Well, I will have to wait till I have the money anyway, so they have two more months or so .

They all have bluetooth actually

btw. who needs bluetooth?

So the Asus P67 Pro is micro ATX. What exactly does that mean? Will all my stuff still fit (noctua cooler) and will the mATX board fit into my Corsair 650D case?

AFAIK it isn´t a µATX. I´ve checked it on the alternate.de website. It is a normal ATX board. An µATX board is just a shorter board. It has only 1xPCIe slot and nothing else. No additional slots for other cards. For more information check out this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroATX

I net purchased a P67 the day the chipset news broke. Cancelled it sharpish! However it was only about 4-5 weeks later when the Gigabyte P-67 (B3 Stepping, the chipset fix) started arriving in Europe. Got mine around 3 weeks ago, so it was fixed and block shipped pretty quickly.
