Conclusion

Overall discussion   + -
ASUS Crosshair V Formula is overall a very interesting and at a first glance also a very good board. The ROG color scheme belongs to the nicest the industry offers and therefore there are not many other motherboards that play in this league. Furthermore the positioning of the different parts has been well done too. We also like that ASUS equipped this board with a SupremeFX Audio-Chip. In this case you get nice an clear sound from the back panel audio plugs.   - Design

Layout   + -

Generally the ASUS Crosshair V Formulas layout is well thought. Once more very practical are the angled SATA connectors. There also are practical power/reset buttons onboard but what you wont find is a debug display. The last expansion slots is a PCI-Express x4 slot which which comes in full length. If you should choose to install a dual slot graphics card at this place you're going to cover the connectors at the bottom edge of the board.
