I checked the complete original box with all included accessories for the EVGA P67 FTW motherboard. It features a Sandy Bridge CPU. The missing details make it hard to judge—was it due to the CPU alone or both factors? Also, because of the chipset, an Ivy seems unlikely.

I'm not sure what you mean by a lack of information. EVGA still appears to have it's product page and support documentation for that board online. There are (dormant, naturally) listing pages for it on retailers like Newegg with customer reviews, and at least one professional review article by Hardware Canucks. It's a 10 year old board. How much info are you expecting to find? EVGA has always been a niche player in motherboards compared to the "big four." The Sandy Bridge generation of CPU's was very highly regarded, as any small amount of research would tell you. Many people used their overclocked Sandy Bridge i5's and i7's up until at least Skylake (~5 years later), as the generations in between offered only very incremental performance increases and AMD's chips were totally uncompetitive in that era. P67 boards should support Ivy Bridge chips with a BIOS update, and there appears to be a BIOS revision from December 2012 for this board that does just that available in EVGA's download center.

It often didn’t support dual-channel memory, and my board faced the same problem because it was an ITX model, limiting me to just one memory slot and preventing POST with RAM in both.
