The performance of this mobo is either very good or very bad depending on the benchmark tested. The design as well as the layout isn't above average. If you buy this board for extreme overclocking it's better to look for more advanced mainboards. The BIOS has an unusual structure.

Benchmarks:

3D Mark 2011, 3D Mark Vantage, Crysis, Resident Evil V, Sisoft Sandra, Street Fighter IV, SuperPi, wPrime.

Compared To:

ASUS Maximus IV Extreme, ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution, ASUS Sabertooth P67, Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7, Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4, MSI Big Bang Marshal P67, MSI P67A-GD65.

Intel is good at producing clean operating mainboards, but usually these boards cannot be used for extreme overclocking. This Burrage model performs very good in overclocking and is even better than the previous generation Intel motherboards.

ASUS P8P67 EVO, ECS P67H2-A2, GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD4, MSI P67A-GD65.
