Your stats make even less sense ... using just one score to 'calculate' brand quality :rolleyes:

 

The conclusion is pretty clear: NO BRAND STANDS OUT.

 

If you spend enough time on your setup, you can use any board to reach 95% of the max results. Whether you hit 100% (which doesn't happen too often) depends on bios/memory/experience/time/...

If you look closely all data, all records, you can find this:

 

http://www.hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/p8p67_pro

http://www.hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/ga_p67a_ud7

http://www.hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/p67a_gd65

 

ASUS have more records (more than 20% comparing to GIGABYTE), and UD7 is competing with P8P67 PRO for first place!?

 

This is no showing anything?

 

If you say NO, in that case this post has even less sense- http://www.hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?p=91725&postcount=3'>http://www.hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?p=91725&postcount=3

 

Just to be 100% precise, I am not challenging you, you know that I respect you. My point is that this post (http://www.hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?p=91725&postcount=3) do not showing anything and for the overclockers this is not important at all. But from MSI point of view this is OK for marketing, because they using this to make noise like "we have best P67 MB in the whole world for overclokers" - http://forum.benchmark.rs/showthread.php?244834-MSI-Sandy-Bridge&p=2444585&viewfull=1#post2444585

 

All of you know that this is not true.

 

So my question is: HW BOT is agreeing with this MSI statement?

One more time: “MSI have best P67 MB in the whole world for overclockers”

Numbers are just numbers. I can generate random charts which prove Dinos22 is the best overclocker. Doesn't mean it's true :D

Marketing is just marketing. Very few marketeers who work for hardware vendors understand how to properly use overclocking results, so they just use everything and hope to be right once.

 

As for this particular case, look at what I wrote about these numbers:

 

The conclusion is pretty clear: NO BRAND STANDS OUT.

I can't understand how hardware vendors can justify making 184 boring variants and not have the balls to make just 1 board that has high-end PWM components, decent bios and basic amount of features.

 

Well ... I can. They want overclockers to pay too much for the basic stuff they want.

I can agree that mobo makers have gotten soft in their designs, there are a few "good" designs but are usually price exclusive to the point that nobody wants to afford them. Then again it's a huge gamble to design a board "just" for overclocking or just for submitting scores to HWBot. Yes that is every enthusiasts wet dream but seriously that is a ton of money to spend on motherboard that maybe less than 26k people would buy (divided by x number of vendors).

 

btw I love stats like what you have provided, however I might suggest weighted scores over straight up numbers. For instance # above average and # below average across each board. That would at least tell us if there is one really high score shifting the average over a bunch of crappy ones.

same reason why you don't see boards with 2 crappy phases but seven PCIe plus six heatpipes - marketing people like smooth transitions in features from the bottom to the top of the range. The reason why you see so many mid-end variants is because transition from ~UD3 to ~UD4 level can be done in multiple ways - there's an UD3P with better PWM, for example.

 

Making an OC dedicated P67 board would be an extremely stupid thing to do, IMO ... unless it costs <$100 since even the ~$150 stuff has all what it takes to max out any 1155 cpu.
