The difference in score is pretty rediculous. I assume Thuban is losing score in wPrime + Cinebench as well, if it's less or more than 3.5% I don't know but 3.5% is the equivilent of 150 Mhz loss in efficiency at 4.5.
The good news is that we can keep our money in our pockets. I think i'm gonna invest in a nice SSD instead. It would have been nice if i could just have dropped a BD cpu in this Crosshair IV F but i have a gut feeling it ain't gonna happen.

Can you believe AMD choose this CVF as a reference board if this is true?
