overclockersclub‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Many AMD users find themselves extremely happy with a Sapphire video card, however these same users may be slightly skeptical about buying a Sapphire motherboard. This makes perfect sense and I don't mind admitting that I've been skeptical about Sapphire boards as well. After all, there is a pretty big difference between a video card and the motherboard that holds it. With that being said, I was extremely impressed with the Sapphire P67 Pure Black Hydra.

We’ve been pretty hard on the Sapphire Pure Black P67 Hydra throughout this review, but for many reasons. The inclusion of the Lucid Hydra chip adds cost and removes the seventh expansion slot without adding much value. Are you really going to mix GeForce and Radeon graphics cards when AMD and Nvidia already have trouble supporting just their own products?

The Sapphire Pure Black P67 Hydra doesn't offer any features not found on other high-end motherboards, aside from the Lucid Hydra chipset not being common to most Sandy Bridge motherboards, but that feature is currently unsupported under Linux. The rest of the motherboard plays just fine under modern Linux distributions just as other P67 motherboards have been known to do thanks to Intel's Linux engineering resources. Sapphire's Pure Black P67 Hydra is currently retailing around $220 USD, which is at a good value considering the Bluetooth, Firewire, Lucid Hydra (though useless to Linux users), USB 3.0, SATA 3.0, and other features.

The jury is still out on the Lucid technology at the moment but apart from that, the Pure Black P67 Hydra is a strong performing, well-built P67 board with a good list of features - if a little pricey.

We've already taken a look at Sapphire's first Intel-based motherboard: the Pure Black X58, which together with the AMD based White Fusion announced Sapphire's re-emergence into the motherboard market.
