Please don't take offence at what I'm about to say Mr Logan, I massively respect your site and the reviews you do for us, and really like your review style, it's a breath of fresh air compared to some of the stuffy nonsense you find elsewhere on the web.
BUT...
I am honestly struggling to believe the results of the gaming test. Obviously motherboards vary in quality, looks and facilities, and you might expect different BIOS versions will run stuff on some boards better or worse, and might even different versions of CPU microcode that might vary performance a bit - as the Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs tests show. But according to your graph, the FPS on Hitman Absolution varied between 75.2 and 95.4 with the same spec components and just a board change.
This is a HUGE difference. Surely some mistake?
