NOTE: We have discovered that Gigabyte's F2 BIOS revision, used for Cinebench and POVRay, did NOT have an MCE option, but instead auto-enabled MCE. Fortunately, our gaming tests were conducted with F4 & F5a, and are therefore unaffected (MCE off). The Cinebench charts have been corrected in the article (linked below), as we discovered the Gigabyte F2 BIOS issue just recently.

Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer. This is unrelated to the product manufacturer. Any advertisements or sponsorships are disclosed within the video ("this video is brought to you by") and above the fold in the description. We do not ever produce paid content or "sponsored content" (meaning that the content is our idea and is not funded externally aside from whatever ad placement is in the beginning) and we do not ever charge manufacturers for coverage.
