We will cover all these in just a short moment. And using your mouse in the BIOS? That's not to mention your wheel actually works, too. What you are about to see is a background that is not blue, and text that is not white. (Did they facepalm back in 1984?) I have had no problems using Gigabyte's Hybrid UEFI BIOS because it is so familiar looking, but if you like change, ASUS will have something that will keep you happy. And the guys over at ASUS are particular enthusiastic about their full UEFI BIOS implementation, in conjunction with a sleek new GUI that would make 2011 proud, rather than facepalming like it's 1984. The ASUS P8H67-I Deluxe, as its model number suggests, features the consumer H67 chipset. Because many Northbridge functions are now on the CPU itself as aforementioned, the H67 chipset doesn't do nearly as much as it did in the past - thus, Intel has resolved to call it the Platform Controller Hub, or PCH, just like the previous generation. There is no native USB 3.0 support, so it will still go through a third party controller. As with first generation Core family CPUs, what was previously known as the Southbridge now takes care of the standard connection interfaces such as providing up to 14 USB ports and 6 SATA ports (Of which two of them are SATA 6Gb/s), as well as providing eight additional PCI Express lanes for PCIe based devices such as Ethernet. The biggest advantage to UEFI motherboards are 3TB+ HDD support, more flexible network booting, and much nicer GUIs for the setup screen. Common to all 6-series chipsets is UEFI support - pretty much the first time this has hit mainstream with desktop PCs. Intel's latest Z68 consolidated this and provides the best of both worlds, with a few extra features like RST caching tacked on. Enthusiasts who want to overclock or use multi-GPU configurations will need to buy motherboards based off the P67 chipset. Codenamed Cougar Point, the H67 is aimed at mainstream consumers who are not interested in overclocking, but want to take advantage of the integrated graphics. Two chipsets designed for Sandy Bridge processors were initially introduced to consumers.
In general, everything that's included is actually useful to the end user. Other than the ASUS P8H67-I Deluxe motherboard itself wrapped in an antistatic bag, the only accessories included are two WiFi antennas, two SATA cables, one I/O shield, quick start guide, user's manual, and a driver DVD. The compact flap top box opens at the top, with a total no-frills approach to its packaging and included accessories.
