Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge Quad-Core CPU Review - HotHardware

unsa mani nga website sayop ni sila? we connot judge of course....gawas lng ug taga Intel mo-proved.

Asa man diha niingon sila ato? Wala man. Nya moingon ka nga We cannot prove of course? Nganong nipost pa ka ato. Taka lang ka ui.

Even a Celeron would be better on a Maximus.

Id agree a little with "RECOMMENDED". But your choice of word "BETTER" is inappropriate. Z77 will always be better for any Ivy/Sandy processor. So to declare that H61 is better for i3 is far from being the truth.
