So hardxxx did a review of the x48bt2...that I found to be total hogwash...

See here...

http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/...wxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==

My response to said review ITT...

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1333340

Needless to say KBennett banned me from the motherboard forum altogether...lol

Is this dude always so sensitive? I would imagine response from readers indicating a review is incorrect due to the BIOS used (immature, shipped with board on release BIOS 1538), would be appreciated...

I'm still :confused:

Kyle always seemed like a jackass to me, but then again, it is his website. He can be however he wants as long as people still get him those big paychecks.

I guess...

The PM conversation we had after that was...interesting...to say the least.

Basically saying I only owned ONE of these boards, I have no experience, and good luck running my own review site. :roll:

Their reviewer half-assed it. Mentioned nothing in the OC'ing section about switching the jumper around to config mode to change settings then back to normal after saving settings and shutting down, which is the most obvious drawback of working with this board.

""Um, wtf guys?

..., but this one is just total bullshit, I'm sorry to say.""

Probably not the best way to get a "nice" response.

I was shocked to see such a terrible review, as I find most of their stuff to be pretty decent. Probably not the best way to put it, I suppose.

They openly say their review was done months before the bios' you mention were available, and yet you still managed to bitch about the same thing in one of the most unprofessional ways possible.

Go back to highschool, learn some tact, and then post a "real" response to their thread after reading again what they posted in their review.

You can do better.

I generally like their reviews, and YES, Kyle can get a little sensitive. 5 years ago he banned me, I asked why, he didn't know why, didn't reinstate me.

I was banned once from there, it was for something silly but I don't really remember what.

Intel motherboards have always been to expensive compared with other boards on the market with the same features/class. The only really great board I remember was the the Bad Axe 2.
