    Default ASUS Maximus IV Extreme

    The ASUS Maximus IV Extreme is a premium P67 motherboard that may just be the best P67 offering on the market. With a groundbreaking UEFI BIOS and some insane auto overclocking results, the M4E will not only leave you drooling but considerably lighter in the pocketbook as well.

    It's a brilliant MB. Have you tried the same CPU on other boards as well? Reason I'm asking is simple, I hit a higher OC on my CPU on the M4E than my old ASUS Deluxe with the same VCORE. At 1.35v I got 4.6GHz compared to 4.5GHz. I know it's not much, but still better. Did you notice any difference like that?

    Goat, I was indeed able to hit higher OC results. The M4E gave the best results of any P67 I've tested to date. A very impressive board, but doesn't come cheap.
