ASUS Maximus 4 Extreme Review
SiSoft Sandra and PC Mark
Published: 3rd January 2011 | Source: ASUS | Price: £300 tbc |
SiSoft Sandra
If the results on the previous page were stunning, these are pretty good too. The i7-950 manages to be neck and neck with the i7-2600K but with the 'worlds easiest overclock' the Maximus IV Extreme storms ahead. The Whetstone result is especially eye-opening.
PC Mark Vantage
The power of the Maximus IV Extreme and Intel Core i7-2600K combination cannot be denied being 1000 and 2500 PC Marks ahead of its nearest rival, the overclocked i7-950 on the Rampage III Extreme.

I like the UEFI as a change from bios
glad to see IDE and PCI has finally gone and them new BIOS look SWEET!
Will you do an update or anything when they release a more stable BIOS?

Feedback for your graphs.
You should add static values to each bar to make it easier to compare between them. There are so many graphs associated with reviews such as yours, would be nice to be able to move more quickly through them.
And especially in cases like the wprime95 in your new LGA 1155 review where the 1024M values are so high they stretch the scale, leaving almost no resolution for displaying the 1M results. So you have to hover the mouse over each of them.
Also just post them as pictures, the animations don't really add anything to it and pictures will probably load faster. But most importantly you gain compatibility with non flash compatible mobile devices.
I mostly read review and do research when commuting and being out of the house. Most other sites work for that, but yours.
Other than that, thanks for a great site. I appreciate the amount of detail you out into your work.
Looking forward to see how far you can get the i7-2600K on boards like the new UD7 from Gigabyte. I don't really trust the Digi+ VRM and UEFI bios yet.

So is EFI just a new bios with a GUI or does allow for really fast boot times too?
It should be faster in theory, although it doesn't appear to be so far..
Could you review some P67 Gigabyte boards also? Before release date??

I have the same question, i.e. will the NH-D14 fit and allow for RAM with heat sinks.
