Conclusion
Well..by now you should all know what I am going to say. When a product has the ROG logo it is expected to perform better than the competition and the Formula has delivered! it kept its lead in all the tests and performed well till the end..so from my side its a win. From the features department it got something for everyone:Onboard switches and voltage measuring points for serious overclockers,Excellent Cooling options,an over the par sound solution for the gamers;what more a person can need?
Pro’s:
- Exclusive Cooling options
- Intuitive Bios
- Excellent performance
- Good sound systems through the Supreme FX IV chip
- Good connectivity options
- The on board Msata/wifi combo is a good touch
Con’s
- Price (blame the Forex rates) although i wont mind paying Rs 23000 + for this board.
- NONE
Overall an excellent package and since there is virtually NO competition as of now in this segment in INDIA no one can challenge its position. Anyone getting into serious competitive benchmarking and gaming should have it in their list.
So from me and Team OCFreaks I give it an 5/5 rating.
A little something from world famous overclocker Allen Golibersuch aka “Splave”
Every generation one looks for a motherboard that is feature rich but most importantly one that they know will take their CPU’s and Memory to the maximum of their potential. The z77 ASUS ROG line delivers once again and in each pricing segment with the gene, formula, and extreme.
In the end i want to thank a few people for making this review possible:
- Asus for providing the sample.
- Sanjib Ray for entrusting me with his pricey camera.
- and Team Ocfreaks for helping me in Everything.
Until next time…signing out…
