    Asus Maximus iv P 155 intel Sandy bridge

    Came across this guy reasearching motherboards and intel chip sets, he goes by the name of Tiny Tom Logan, rather than repeat what he says have a look at his site as he does video reviews of hardware and says it as it is, also runs a few competitions from time to time, useful if you want to take a look at the latest hardware releases and bench marks.

    This is a highly recomended and respected site and newbie friendly, otherwise i wouldn't be there

    Many reviews are confusing but this guy is down to earth and also he has his own forum,
    i have read reviews from other sites that don't run benchmarks which defeats the purpose.
    Anway this is for newbies such as myself doing my first build and still i would seek advice here to be on the safe side if i was a bit wary.

    your welcome Bearcat, he gets lost sometimes with words but he works crazy hours on his video's and i have read through his forum and the guys there seem pretty decent, i like people who put it in black and white.

    Hi Jay, this looks like an interesting site and you know me, I like things that are down to earth and easy to understand!
    There may be a bit of snow on the roof, but there is still a fire blazing in the hearth!

    Tom Logan got a screenshot of a 5Ghz overclock just for fun as he doesn't often push things to the limit these days but says he has it stable at 4.6 even on an early bios fro Asus.

    @ JayCub Got a chance to watch a couple of the videos on the OC3D TV website and they are pretty good. Thanks for the heads up!
