Okay, so this board is a bit slower than the competition there is really only about a 3-4% difference in performance making the maximum separation from the fastest to the slowest is a very small margin. To the user directly interfacing with their PC there would be no apparent noticeable differences while in usage and the performance evaluation charts are the only place you will actually see any differences. The burn-in tests all went smoothly (other than a lovely power outage which made me begin the tests again after only 14HRs of stress testing) and the board performed flawlessly.
