Have the

Cool! Let us know how it goes and what you have to do! I'm hoping it's pretty darn cut and dry!

Will do as soon i get back home, may tomorrow, it have on/off, and reset switch, and the BIG USB3 box that come whit the P8P67 Deluxe is gone, also the network is the Intel one

The blue coolers look the same as the P8P67 Deluxe board i had but it have cooler on the other side to (flat plate)

And the EPU, TPU switch is on the same place nice

Awesome. I'm also switching from an Asus P8P67 Deluxe, so your experiences should help with mine.

From what I've read, the P8Z68-V Pro is less likely to support USB3 right away, right (since it's not using the NEC chip)?

Is this the only known issue (and difference from the Deluxe version)? Otherwise, does this board look like it will work with minimal issues?

Too bad that the most important feature – drive caching – isn't supported on OS X (no AHCI / RAID setting only in BIOS).

Comes with 4* USB 3.0 (ASMedia 1042 controller).

Funny that a developer like me is a 'Noob' here – based on post count LOL

Ya- apparently Gigabyte has showed a few of their newer Z68 models- that have the ssd caching feature integrated. These will be out in June.

I'm thinking that the features will be available at some point in OS X.

And sry about Noob status- it's only temporary

I have not understood this completely, does the z68 work better then the p67 because it's in the iMac? If you don't care about the Intel GPU and Hybrid SSD/Drive caching is there any reason to choose z68 over p67 in a hackint0sh? Is there anything that doesn't work on the p67 which works with z68?

Would be grateful for some answers from someone who know. What do you say Tony?

I have the exact same question. All else being equal, I think I would prefer to just get a P67 board since I don't need any of the added features. However, compatibility is my top concern and I'll gladly spring for Z68 if it makes anything more stable.
