New Asus ROG Maximus II Formula Motherboard Takes Gaming to the Extreme
With Supreme FX X-Fi audio card bundled
As most gamers out there know only too well, a high-end rig really is a "must have", at least if the respective person wants to achieve some pretty impressive (perhaps even pro) results in this field. For this reason, Asus has even introduced the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand, which caters exactly to the needs of these extreme users. And one of the latest releases from this high-end series is the Maximus II Formula motherboard, which comes bundled with one of the best-regarded audio cards, the Supreme FX X-Fi. Like most of the other ROG products, this motherboard is designed to serve as a basis for a pretty high-end gaming rig, and for this reason it has been equipped with an Intel P45 chipset and an LGA775 socket supporting Intel Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, etc. processors. Furthermore, it sports a dual-channel memory architecture, allowing users to cram up to 16 GB of DDR Mhz non-ECC and un-buffered memory into their systems. Since extreme graphics are also important in today's gaming world, the motherboard also comes equipped with 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, 3 x PCIe x1 slots and 2 x PCI 2.2 slots, which provide enough room for accommodating even several graphics cards. As mentioned right from the start, the SupremeFX X-Fi audio card is one of the main points of attraction provided by this motherboard, as it offers gamers life-like sound effects and 3D surround sounds to fully immerse them into the games. And in order to provide just crystal clear, hi-fi sound, the Supreme FX X-Fi employs the ADI 2000B audio codec, Creative X-Fi suite, CMSS3D and Crystalizer technologies and authentic EAX sound effects.Moreover, since gamers are bound to try and take their systems to the next-level by overclocking them, the motherboard also sports the ROG Extreme Engine, a next-generation multi-phase power design that provides additional overclocking headroom. This architecture includes a 16-phase power design for the CPU, 2-phase for memory and 3-phase for the north bridge and offers additional voltage options in the BIOS for higher performances.Unfortunately, no official pricing info has been released for now, but given the level of complexity of this product, it will most likely be pretty expensive.

The Republic of Gamers consists only of the best of the best. ASUS offers the best hardware engineering, the fastest performance, the most innovating ideas, and welcomes the best gamers to join in. In the Republic of Gamers, mercy rules are only for the weak, and bragging rights means everything. ASUS believes in making statements and excels in competitions. If your character matches ASUS's trait, then join the elite club; make your presence felt, in the Republic of Gamers. This motherboard supports the latest Intel Lynnfield processors in LGA1156 package, which as memory and PCI Express controller integrated to support 2-channel (4 DIMMs) DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 2.0 lanes, providing great graphics performance. Intel Lynnfield processor is one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world. The Intel P55 Express Chipset is the latest one-chipset design to support the latest 1156 socket Intel Lynnfield processors. Intel P55 provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability. This motherboard supports the latest PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed and bandwidth which enhances system performance. SLI or CrossFireX? Fret no longer because with the ROG Maximus III Formula, you'll be able to run both multi-GPU setups. The board features SLI/CrossFireX on Demand technology, supporting SLI or CrossFireX configuration. Whichever path you take, you can be assured of jaw-dropping graphics at a level previously unseen. The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of 2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operation system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance. Monitor the status of your desktop PC and tweak its parameters in real-time via a notebook - just like a race car engineer - with ROG Connect. ROG Connect links your main system to a notebook through a USB cable, allowing you to view real-time POST code and hardware status readouts on your notebook, as well as make on-the-fly parameter adjustments at a purely hardware level. Why risk crippling your system with poorly tuned memory? Now, with ROG's exclusive MemPerfect optimizing your memory performance is a simple matter of selecting the frequency you desire, and letting MemPerfect do the rest! MemPerfect quickly checks your memory settings for errors and automatically fixes them - ensuring system stability and maximum efficiency. The iROG is a special IC which enables several ROG highlighted functions that gives users full disposal of the motherboard at any stage! This design allows advanced user control and management to be processed purely at a hardware level. iROG greatly increases fun during overclocking for PC enthusiasts and it offers system maintenance and management with more control and efficiency. Memory compatibility is among the top concerns when it comes to computer upgrades. Worry no more, MemOK! is the fastest memory booting solution today. This remarkable memory rescue tool requires nothing but a push of a button to patch memory issues and get your system up and running in no time. The technology is able to determine failsafe settings that can dramatically improve system booting success.
