Not got any huge experience with exactly this motherboard, but the first
bios'es available for those chipsets (P67) was probably a bit sketchy. You
might consider checking if there is a newer/beta bios to test perhaps?
(With any of the problems that might cause ofc).

I guess UEFI is somewhat troublesome even if "overriding" this with kernel
options when UEFI reports "NA" for the function. I dunno if you can "force"
it like that anyway?
As long as it's not a "K" processor, the 2600 is working with vt-d, where
the 2600K does not (as you probably are aware of).
