X79 Motherboard Roundup: ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte

I've always wanted to do a "round-up" style review but I never get enough of the same product in, at the same time to make it worthwhile. 

Intel’s X58 chipset made for great platform performance, and even though the chip maker has unleashed many more chipsets since the X58 came out, there hasn’t been a true successor in the high-end of their product line-up (not even the Z68 chipset) until now.

The X79 chipset looks to pick up the X58’s poll position, so we decided to bench test a few motherboards from ASRock, ASUS, and Gigabyte to see how Intel's new flagship performs.

Given that the performance of these boards will be almost identical doing side by side comparisons does make sense.  I wonder which one came out on top?
