I dont want the try and offend you at all, but if the motherboard manufacturer ships the product with juiced system clocks, then at the most it should be noted in the test, but it should not be changed

When it says tested at default settings, nothing is altered from the shipping specs of the manufacturer. So by changing the speeds like your are recommending, THAT would be invalidating the test.

I do see the point of what you are saying, but by manually changing all of the settings, that would deny readers the ability to view the weights and weaknesses of each board as they come "out of the box."

Hi GeekFunk,

I doublechecked, the Asus was not overclocked. CPU-Z showed a processorspeed of 2009mhz (200.9fsb), exaclty the same as the MSI or DFI. Other params like memory timings where also identical. I don't know how Asus tweaked their board, but they didn't do it buy overclocking the processor, so I find the tests valid.

Some MSI boards offer 'dynamic overclocking', but this was disabled during the tests.

Cool.

That's all I wanted to know.

But, it's a fact that Asus used to juice its motherboards.
