With the Crosshair V Formula-Z, ASUS has expanded their profolio for high-end AMD motherboards by a new flagship model. This board features AMD's 990FX Chipset and AMD's SB950 southbridge. Using this board one should not only be able to squeeze the maximum out of an AMD CPU and thanks to the SB950 southbridge, there are no less then six SATA III ports.

The Crosshair V Formula-Z is ASUS' most recent high end motherboard regarding AMDs 990FX chipset. Therefore we're very curious what this thing is capable of from a layout, design and performance perspective.

	Re: ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z Review being a desktop form factor is a negative? your reviewing a desktop motherboard.

	Need a real review I understand this is a basic review but this motherboard is geared to gamers so all of the other benchmarks you have mean nothing. Second, this board was designed for the FX chips, I know a phenom works but it would be nice to see a Vishera chip in the tests. Also who games at 600 x 800? Try using a graphics card that is up to date. My HD 7770 mid to low end GPU is faster. And last, You missed a lot of features on this board like the ROG connect and others that are geared toward gamers. If you are not a hardcore gamer you should not be looking at this board. If you like AMD and are a serious gamer this is the cats meow.
