ASUS has some tough shoes to fill. Fortunately, they're familiar shoes; their own, in fact. A long string of high performance motherboards that got adopted simultaneously by the enthusiast and gaming sets, led ASUS to create a specialty brand segment they call "Republic of Gamers". The ROG Creed goes like this: "The Republic of Gamers is committed to delivering the most innovative and best performing PC solutions to enhance the gaming experience of power users." That's a tall order, especially in the competitive PC component market where today's news is already old news. One of the newest members of this Republic is the Maximus II GENE, part of a new group of small form factor components that give nothing away in performance to their larger brethren. Benchmark Reviews is pleased to review this latest offering, based on the Intel P45 and ICH10R, and we put it through the wringer against a well known full ATX-size reference boa! rd.
Hardwareoverclock.com haben einen neuen Mainboard Bericht online gestellt. Getestet wurde unser erstes Sockel 1156 Mainboard mit P55 Chipsatz, das Asus Maximus III Formula. Dieses Board ist für Gamer und Overclocker zugeschnitten. Auch das Layout und die Optik wurde für Modder und Enthusiasten entworfen. Nur der versprochene niedrige Preis kann mit knapp 200,- Euro nicht eingehalten werden. Was das Board so leistet, zeigen wir in unserem Artikel.
ASUS Maximus III Gene is a socket 1156 micro-ATX motherboard based on Intel P55 chipset with two PCI Express x16 slots and lots of overclocking features.
While a lot of the recent motherboard news has come from the Intel Z68 chipset and the new AMD 990FX one, the original Sandy Bridge P67 chipset from Intel is still very dominant on the market. If you have a look at Newegg, you'll find around 50 P67 based motherboard for sale while the Z68 sits around the 20 mark. A lot of the P67 boards are also in stock; they're not simply just listed. For that reason the P67 chipset is still an important one for companies as they continue to move stock.
Even though the Intel Z68 chipset is out there, motherboards based on the Intel P67 continue to be attractive options for systems based on Intel socket 1155 CPUs. In fact, according to ASUS, the sales of P67-based motherboards are still outperforming those of Z68-based products. ASUS offers a wide range of motherboards based on this chipset, and today we are going to take a look at the most high-end model from this manufacturer, the Maximus IV Extreme, which offers four PCI Express x16 slots supporting high speeds and a myriad of advanced options for the extreme enthusiast.
The ROG Maximus IV Extreme is a very unique motherboard that combines many of the enthusiast features that overclockers want with the mainstream stability that gamers and computer users demand.
The Republic of Gamers boards from ASUS have done a great job of impressing us. In June we had a look at the Maximus IV Extreme. Moving to July, we checked out the Maximus IV Gene-Z and today we check out the Maximus IV Extreme-Z. To be honest, before I even start testing, I have a good feeling about the board simply because of the track record. But of course, we'll see just what the Maximus IV Extreme-Z is able to offer.
La gamme Republic Of Gamer d'Asus n'est plus à présenter, lancée en 2006, cette branche de la société vise les produits destinés aux Gamers et aux Overclockers. Le haut de gamme de la marque est donc logiquement frappé du logo ROG.
Die "Republic of Gamers"-Reihe von Asus beinhaltet nicht nur außergewöhnliche Grafikkarten, sondern auch Mainboards, die sich dank spezieller Funktionen und Features von der Masse anheben und teilweise das Nonplusultra der entsprechenden Produktgruppen darstellen sollen. Gerade Enthusiasten und Übertakter wissen die Vorteile der ROG-Modelle in Form einer ausgeprägten Spannungsversorgung, ausgiebigen OC-Einstellmöglichkeiten und der hohen Robustheit der einzelnen Bauteile zu schätzen. In diesem Test schauen wir uns den aktuellsten Mainboard-Ableger der ROG-Serie für Intels Sandy-Bridge der zweiten Generation an - das Maximus IV Extreme-Z.
We are going to take a look at the highest-end socket 1155 motherboard from ASUS, the Maximus IV Extreme-Z, which offers four PCI Express x16 slots supporting high speeds and a myriad of advanced options for the extreme enthusiast. We already wrote about its predecessor Maximus IV Extreme, which has pretty much the same features, but uses the Intel P67 chipset. The Maximus IV Extreme has a simpler voltage regulator circuit, also.
