[Guru of 3D] ASUS Maximus V Formula review

We feel the Maximus V Forumula is priced fair if you can spot it around the 200 EUR / 250 USD market . It comes with everything you need and look for in a real gamers motherboard. Combined with features like improved audio, wireless connectivity, mSATA, ROG Connect, all new LCS ready Fusion Thermo heatsinks and the most dandy UEFI BIOS with extended tweaking options and CPU level up features. It's just a rock-hard offering on a product that hardly can get any better. Highly recommended, in fact you know what -- it honestly deserves a best product award.

If I was in the market for a new board,would definitely go with this one smile.gif
