Are you going to be running crossfire?

OT What bios settings you running for the overclock on your 6000X2?

May as well go for the M2F as it's the top-of-the-range P45 board.

M2F does slightly better in games, looks way better and has some cool functions, albeit not important, but still nice triming on the cake

no brainer for the same price.

No choice really. It has to be the Maximus. It's a fantastic board. £150 for a P5Q Deluxe is overpriced in my opinion.

Maximus

I'm English, and as such I crave disappointment. I actively seek it out.
