Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM
P8P67 EPU Overview
DIGI+ VRM on mainstream ASUS motherboards works alongside the Dual Intelligent Processors design. This was introduced early in 2010, pioneering the use of two co-processors right on the motherboard. The first of which is the EPU (Energy Processing Unit). The EPU co-processor allows users to decrease the power consumption of the system whenever possible by actively monitoring loads, voltages, temperatures, etc. of all key components including CPU, VGA, Chipsets, DRAM, Fan, and HDD. EPU can accurately detect the CPU load in real-time and intelligently manage the balance between performance and power consumption. EPU technology will also manage the supplied voltage to key components according to the respective load on the components. This results in a higher performance per watt ratio. Lastly, rounding out the functionality of EPU is its ability to allow the user to adjust vCore, chipset voltage, and other corresponding parameters. These adjustments can be made using a hardware switch on the motherboard, from within UEFI, or from within the AI Suite II software.

P8P67 Motherboard Overview
The P8P67 Standard motherboard has of course all of the features described above that I mentioned were present on the entire P8P67 series, i.e. dual slot PCI-e spacing, on-board Bluetooth module, front and back USB 3.0, right angle SATA ports, etc. It also features a DRAM LED on the board to help diagnose memory issues. The P8P67 Standard is aimed towards those of you who want to have a powerful system with a lot of features and will most likely only use 1 GPU. Therefore, the P8P67 Standard does not support SLI. However, the Standard does support CrossFireX for the use of 2 AMD graphics cards in x8/x8 configuration.
P8P67 PRO Overview
The big things to note regarding the differences between the Standard and the P8P67 PRO are that the PRO supports both CrossFireX and SLI making it the better choice for multi-GPU configurations. Another great reason to go with the PRO is the addition of powered eSATA and Intel Gigabit LAN. The PRO features Q-LED debug LED's on the board for CPU, DRAM, VGA, and boot device. The PRO also comes with a USB 3.0 bracket.
Below is a screenshot showing the auto tuning results on a P8P67 PRO using a 2600K CPU.
P8P67 EVO Overview
The P8P67 EVO comes equipped with all of the features present in the P8P67 PRO and more. The P8P67 EVO might be used more by benchers and overclockers since it has a power button and a reset button on the board making it more feasible for users who will run the system outside of the case. The EVO also comes equipped with dual Gigabit LAN ports, one of which is an Intel LAN port. We anticipate that users of this motherboard will be pushing the board to the max so we've also added a heatpipe to ensure optimum thermal conditions.
P8P67 Deluxe Overview
The P8P67 Deluxe features everything from the EVO down to the standard and also has 4 more phases on the DIGI+ VRM than the other P8P67 series boards. The industry leading 16+2 digital power phases give you access to even more power! We've also increased the effective heat dissipation by implementing a larger thermal heatsink assembly with a heatpipe. The Deluxe also comes with an ASUS breakout front panel USB 3.0 box to attach to the front USB 3.0 header to give you 2 more USB 3.0 ports in the front of your case. Like the previous P8P67 series boards, the Deluxe has the 2 extra SATA 6GB/s ports; however, the Deluxe offers dual RAID (RAID on both sets of SATA 6GB/s ports. The Deluxe also sports the 2 buttons for power and reset, dual Gigabit LAN (one of which is Intel LAN), and supports both CrossFireX and SLI.

P8P67 Series Digi+ VRM Overview
Advantages of ASUS DIGI+ VRM Digital Power Design
Faster sensing and response: ASUS DIGI+ VRM acts as a digital controller eliminating digital-to-analog conversion lag.
- Better cooling and temperatures + Super Low Interference:
- 2X CPU power supply: The same exclusive dual driver and MOS design also provides twice the CPU power supply with two complete power stages.
- 2X Precise Power Control for Optimized Performance (Maximizes Overclocking Potential): ASUS DIGI+ VRM delivers twice the power precision, intelligently adjusting PWM voltage and frequency modulation to minimize power loss while performance reaches its full potential. In addition to doubling power precision, DIGI+ VRM minimizes power loss and maximizes power efficiency. Its specially-tailored digital controller optimizes switching performance and reduces power latency exponentially, so users benefit from a much more effective power management architecture.
