Finally have my 2600K build up and running after a bunch of utterly retarded mistakes (I'm not sure what I downloaded from the AMD site, but they sure as hell weren't display drivers!)
Anybody else have a nightmare getting an Asus P8P67 to recognise all 4 sticks of ram?:o (/edit - should be sorted with a bios update apparently)

Lovely beast of a thing so far, looking forward to benching the crap out of it tomorrow!

did you go for the P8P67 Pro and did you buy a separate cpu cooler and have any problems installing it?

Just using the standard intel cooler with my P8P67 pro for the time being, but there seemed to be heaps of room there tbh, I can't really picture anything but an absolute monstrosity of a cooler providing any installation problems tbh. (might be totally off the mark though)

The Sabretooth is apparently a pain in the arse to install any kind of cooler on

Upgrading the bios to 1003 sorted out my memory issues btw, love that you can just chuck the update file onto a memory stick and update from within the bios itself:) The days of pissing about with dos boot CDs are well and truly behind us at last!
