Bring it on

So that all seems straightforward enough; there's only one way to resolve this bit of techie chest-beating: let a respected, independent third party do some testing and see what happens. Naturally they chose HEXUS.

Stewart deserves some respect for calling out ASRock and Gigabyte on this matter and putting MSI kit on the line, because it could all backfire horribly if our findings contradict his claims. However he is right to say that the only way to put this feud to rest is to test and that's what we intend to do.

We have made ASRock and Gigabyte aware of this story and hope to be bringing you confirmation of their acceptance of the challenge soon. Watch this space.

Haha, might make an interesting review. It is nice that these companies have this friendly competitive spirit between then
In the interests of fairness, shouldn't you get some off the shelf models instead of relying on asrock, msi and gigabyte to send you stock, un-tweaked boards ;) I'm sure you can think of one or 2 places that might lend you some boards to test 'cough' SCAN, morecomputers ‘ahem’.

:)..

seems like a nice challenge :devilish:
forget the board. i bet most here got the attention from that pic lol
Instead of a face of why not just get all the Mbs you have at hexus and test them all. Why just pick 3 when you could test them all …

I know one of mine would be the coolest with out any fans or copper “because its dead” lol …
