If the mobo sucks and makes the chip underperform, it would be dumb beyond belief for AMD to give that particular mobo.  In other words, I don't really think the mobo has much to do with it.

From what I've read, that seems to be a big flop on AMD's part.
Seems the Crosshair V mobo really sucks for performance.
