| ASUS' Crosshair V Formula-Z is an overall
very interesting board 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 a similar 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. |

Generally the ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Zs layout is well thought. Once more very practical are the angled SATA connectors
of which you'll find no less then eight 6 Gbps ones.
There also are practical power/reset buttons onboard as well as 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. Nevertheless it
would be perfect to place a PCI Express SSD. |
