yes false, the bios is trash, wont let nobody clock higher then 4.00, and im ready for a refund.
 edit, all is good  on the sli board

is any of this true? Can none hit 5- on a EVGA p67? Can you really not adjust vcore? They say a sucker is born every minute? I have waited (and waited) for a P67 FTW w ECP and EVgauge? I have no idea if/when it will be released,  now that vanilla P67 FTW's are sold out, will this mean a delay for K2s? Can anyone at EVGA say when/if the EVGA P67 with ECP and EVGauge is coming out and can any users here post up something with Vcore bumped? We were told that late last week they'd be available, then they never came.  What is up w/ that? Do the WS Revo and UD7 look good? Yes, they do. Do I want them? No I want an EVGA board plz and tyvm. Have I waited, yes I have? It would be nice if someone would respond to the OP or to any of these questions.  I'm about to drop coin on a board I hope comes out m/t/w of this week, I also hope I can hit 5 w the megahalems (on their way from the egg) and Delta 120 push/pulls.
 
Would be great if the people who have waited so long could get, just a little feedback from the powers that be.  Is there Vcore upvolting supported in the Bios (even the new one is fine)?  Will the K2s drop early or late this week? Can anyone who is just a "regular guy" post any SS's of something at or above 5g-?
 
At this point I am sort of kicking myself for not signing up to be notified for a vanilla FTW that I'd probably already have installed by now. I hope that them selling out  (unable to buy on EVGA store or newegg) does not delay the K2 release. 
 
To the kind and loving people of EVGA: when you send me the notify email, I will immediately go to your store, following link and buy a K2, will that be good enough?

I sure hope so, I am sure looking forward to a build this week

and can you game on it? What is superpi to 1m?  BTW ty for posting that.  Have to say via your mods rigs that your build came out great and is super clean. Kudos. I like than you can obv upvolt from 1.225 to where your at, I just hope the board drops soon so I can buy and build.
 
 

If all these boards are good for is suicide runs on DICE or LN I have no use for them at all. They don't even seem to be energy efficient.

I've read a lot of posts regarding the BIOS issue that prevents vCore from being changed from the default (AUTO) setting. eVGA is aware of this and they are working on the solution. I'd be willing to bet this is the real problem you're having.

um to not post in 2 threads the same thing look here http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=1061142. pic of my setup and prime running at 4.9 pulling 85'c.

I run @ 4.9ghz all the time (speedstep off) and get into the high 70's ..... I do of course have the Asus p8p67 deluxe mobo though so this probably doesnt mean anything as far as your hardware..

they released a board which would not allow you to manually adjust the vcore?  are you kidding me?  the extra 4 months was not enough to test this and get such a basic function working?

I've done around 5.4, but yes there is a current bug that may not allow you to set anything other than auto voltage that is a top priority right now. 4.4ghz+ should be no problem.

 
I Still have to admit it is unsettling that this late in the game there are still issues, and postponed releases, again. What delay could there be on the P67 FTW with the EcP and EVgauge?  Did EVGA put some aside for the K2 and are just not selling P67 FTWs?  I am not sure I can wrap my head around that conundrum.  One question, does Foxconn make the P67s for EVGA as they have been contracted out to make other EVGA boards?

This is the the most accurate thing said in this thread. Super late release, and basic bios features are buggy?
 
My patience is worn out, I have buyers for all my LGA 775 Parts.  I love you EVGA but my Sandy Bridge experience will be in the form of this little guy, coming tomorrow by 5pm. Sorry guys.
 
 

With the exception of your 2000Mhz memory, I've got the same parts you have for your build. I didn't wait for the second release of the FTW (didn't really need the front panel control) and have been running my system now for almost two weeks. Set it up for 4.4ghz tonight (VCore on Auto). I hear problems some of the folks have had and I'm just not experiencing the issues. Updated the BIOS, now am patiently waiting for the EVGA crew to resolve the manual VCore issue (which they will). Only time will tell if this board (or any manufacturer's board) will hold up and prove itself to be a truly quality product. Having said that, I'm very happy with the EVGA P67 FTW. Processor OC's well and temps are low. Rock on.

I'd sure like to see a lot more reviews like this. I'm sure there out there, just not posted yet.

I've booted into Windows at 4.6 GHz with VCORE set to Auto. I'll post pics once I get my new RAM in. Had to RMA my Vengeance as one of the sticks was causing errors.

Some SB cpu's hit a wall at 4.8 no matter what you do.  If you can adjust vcore, and you have B2 stepping, hitting 5+ or better should be pretty doable.
 
Might I suggest this guide, I've never read a better SB oc guide

The highest I've been able to get is 4.5Ghz, any higher and the system won't boot into windows. We really need an update for the BIOS
