ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII FORMULA Comments

A good operating platform is not only compatible with many excellent hardware products, but also needs to have a strong carrying capacity. The ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard is specially designed for game players. It has solid materials, excellent workmanship, and strong performance. With rich player features, it can bring users an extraordinary game experience. I believe it will be an indispensable good helper for you to play games.

The color matching of Z170 PRO GAMING completely follows the scheme of the previous generation of player series (such as B85-PRO GAMER), and the decoration of on-board heat sink has become "dynamic". At the moment when the game theme hardware is equal to the light show, this motherboard naturally needs to follow the trend. LED Control adjustment interface is added to the AISuite3 software supporting Z170 PROGAMING. Here, you can modify the mode of LED lights on the motherboard, including the constant light, flicker and breathing effect. It is simple to set it successfully with a mouse click. With LED and other adjustment functions, the lighting effect of the motherboard is more cool and personalized. In addition to the original audio part LED split line (with three effects of constant light, breathing light and flicker), the motherboard added five LED lights next to the first PCI-E x1, with two effects of constant light and breathing light. This motherboard is based on the new Intel Z170 chipset and supports the new 14 nm LGA 1151 pin Intel processor, which is customized for high-end game players. The motherboard adopts the standard ATX board type, with a size of 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm. The motherboard has 9 mounting holes, and a total of 5 4pin fan sockets, including CPU_FAN and OPT_FAN, are designed on the motherboard. For the game console, the number is sufficient and the location is designed reasonably. The motherboard provides four memory sockets, which can support up to 64GB of DDR4 3400MHz (overclocking) memory
, which can not only provide users with sufficient memory upgrade space, but also bring about the ultimate improvement of computer performance. Asustek's exclusive SupremeFX sound effect technology and Japanese Nijikang professional audio capacitor provide more natural and clearer sound effects for games and multimedia, bringing consumers an impeccable sound effect experience. The power supply part adopts a design of 6 phases in total. The main control is a DIGI+VRM EPU ASP1400B, and each phase uses a MOSFET Driver. The MOSFET adopts a core 4-phase 2+2 per phase, and the other 2-phase 1+2 configuration. The specific materials for power supply are from Ansomy, models 4C06N (30V 69A 4mOhm) and 4C09N (30V 52A 5.8mOhm); 5K hour solid state capacitance and inductance come from a strange brand, with capacitance parameters of 6.3V/560uf and 16V/270uf.

At present, the price is a little high, and the cost performance is not as good as Z170-A

Z170 PRO GAMING is a "not exaggerated but practical, relatively low-key" game motherboard, which continues the strong performance and high-quality workmanship of ASUS motherboard. It is very suitable for users who do not care about lighting effects, extreme stacking, and the number of new interfaces to build a high-performance game platform. In short, this motherboard not only has strong performance but also has a good application experience, It can be called the benchmark of the mid end Z170 game motherboard. Players who need to try

The Z170-A motherboard is equipped with the Intel Gigabit network card and USB 3.1 interface for the ATX board type, and applies the unique sound master technology of ASUS

The experience has been improved to a higher level. It supports Intel Socket 1151 full series processors, two PCI-E 3.0 x16 sockets, and one

There are only x4 3.0 x16 slots at high speed, supporting 2-way SLI and 3-way CF fire fighting, as well as 3 PCI-E 3.0 x1 slots and 1 PCI slot

The board has four DDR4 memory sockets, supporting dual channel DDR4 3466MHz memory with a maximum of 64G. This time, the same color matching as ASUS's previous classic color matching is reserved

The I/O interface is also covered with a white shield, and the round radiator of Nanqiao has become a white square. In terms of durability, the Z170-A motherboard

It is outstanding because it adopts advanced LANGUARD network full protection, overload full protection, DIGI+digital power supply master, high-quality 5K solid

Five protection functions, such as state capacitor and stainless steel moisture-proof I/O interface, can well avoid static electricity, lightning strike, unstable power supply, poor quality power supply, etc

Device damage

USB3.1 is not a native but a third-party solution, which is a small regret

It is a good choice for friends who want to experience the latest Skylake but have insufficient funds to choose a cheap and sufficient Z170-A. The excellent workmanship and friendly price of ASUS Z170-A motherboard are still very valuable

1. Powerful software and utility tools. For example, AI Siut under the desktop can set and adjust the speed of each fan in the chassis at will. It is very convenient to use bios. wait
2. The level of appearance design is very high, low-key but calm, grand, and very stylish when viewed in front of you.
3. The wiring design, materials and workmanship are also unknown. It is very suitable for playing overclocking.

The black and red color contrast design of the previous generation ROG hero series has been changed to black and gray in this eighth generation, which is really unacceptable. But the red element added in the limited edition is good.

ASUS's ROG series is the real representative and essence of "ASUS". "Asus products are noble and beautiful"

This motherboard is based on the new Intel Z170 chipset and supports the new 14 nm LGA 1151 pin Intel processor, which is customized for high-end game players. The Supreme FX audio technology and Japanese professional audio capacitor adopted by ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard can bring you independent sound card level hearing enjoyment. We have done a good job in reducing game latency. The Intel Gigabit network card and GameFirst II technology designed for games can effectively reduce game latency! In terms of interfaces, 4 × DDR4, 2 × PCI-E X16, 4 × PCI-E X1 slots, SATA Express, M.2, 4 × SATA III interfaces, 2 USB3.1, 6 USB3.0. SLI, CF multi graphics card support, HDMI, VGA, DVI, DP interfaces are also complete.

I haven't found any shortcomings yet. Eight USB2.0 people feel burdensome!

More LED lights, with breathing light effect, very cool! High quality inductors and capacitors and stainless steel moisture-proof backplanes are used, which greatly extend the service life. With solid materials, excellent workmanship, strong performance, and rich player features, it must not be cheap!

The appearance is the same as that of X99-DELUXE. While maintaining the main tone of black and white, the silver heat sink makes the overall product present the effect of gradual color difference, giving a strong sense of technology. The surface of the silver heat sink adopts the wire drawing process, which makes it feel very good when you touch it with your hand and has excellent texture.
In the expansion slot part, the motherboard provides three PCIE 3.0 x16 slots and four PCIE x1 slots. Because the Z170 chipset supports 20 PCIE 3.0 buses, the motherboard is very good at this aspect. It can meet the needs of players for up to 3 video card exchanges.

The price is high

He uses the most high-end Z170 chipset of the 100 series platform, which has a very good number of PCI-E buses. In addition, its on-board Gen3x4 M.2 interface, 6xUSB 3.1 Gen2 interface, 1xSATA-E interface and 6xSATA 3 interface can be said to have very good expansion performance. In terms of materials, the main board adopts 16+4+2 phase full digital power supply, is equipped with all metal heat sink with excellent heat conduction, and also adopts a series of audio technologies covering ASUS bel canto master, such as Japanese professional pre rectification chip and professional audio capacitor, which can bring good audio-visual effects to users.

Good motherboard, ten power supplies, Intel gigabit network card, and the technology of Bel canto master. This price is really worth it! Moreover, the materials are not bad, and the appearance is simple and fashionable. The white blade armor and the black PCB motherboard match very well, looking clean and tidy. What I have to mention is the interface of the motherboard, which is rich in multiple interfaces. USB type-c, HDMI2.0, SLI and crossfire all support it. There is basically no short board, which is very practical

The hard disk interfaces are all on the side of the board, which is sometimes inconvenient

The positioning is friendly, and the configuration of Z170-A is really not perfunctory. From appearance to materials to configuration, it is very good

MAXIMUS VIII HERO (hereinafter referred to as M8H) is ATX full-size. The color matching and appearance of this generation of M8H are significantly different from those of the previous generation of M7H. First, silver gray is introduced in the black tone as a transition in color matching, which makes the visual effect more atmospheric and stable. The addition of motherboard armor also makes this M8H appear much taller. The M8H provides three PCI-E X16 and three PCI-E X1 slots. Because all PCI-E X1 slots are not sealed, the M8H can perfectly support various high specification expansion cards. In terms of memory, the M8H chooses pure DDR4. The four DIMMs support up to 64GB of DDR4-2133 Non ECC, Un buffered memory. Dual channel and XMP2.0 are supported, and the nominal overclocking is above 3800MHz. In terms of storage interface, M8H provides two SATA - E and four SATA III interfaces, and each SATA - E interface is also backward compatible with SATA III. The gray interfaces are native to the chipset and support RST drive and SRT acceleration functions. Back I/O interface. The M8H provides five 3.5mm audio interfaces, one S/PDIF optical fiber output interface, two USB3.0 interfaces, one RJ45 network interface, one USB3.1 Type-A, one USB3.1 Type-C interface, one DP1.2 interface, one HDMI1.4 interface, four USB2.0 interfaces, one PS/2 interface and one BIOS Flashback interface. The newly designed interface armor appears on the M8H, and its model MAXIMUS VIII HERO is displayed in combination with the power supply heat sink. The TPU chip on the M8H provides a wealth of overclocking options for everyone. Nijikang MW series high-quality capacitor is selected, and a piece of ESS ES9203P DAC, independent clock chip and RC4580 operational amplifier are added. At the same time, anti knock design is added. Independent split PCB and metal shield can further reduce the impact of other components of the motherboard on the audio circuit.

I feel that there are a little more USB2.0 interfaces.

Asustek ROG M8H motherboard is made of luxurious materials. Power supply and power cooling are particularly important. I think the overclocking ability must be good. The appearance is full of science and technology, and the diversion armor is also very domineering. The interfaces are very rich, even the players who like Raid and multi graphics cards can't use them all. The only thing is that the price is a little expensive, but this price is not too expensive for the new platform CPU price and high-end graphics card price. Of course, faith is priceless!

The Z170 has all the latest interfaces, and the ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING is no exception. Maybe many netizens will think that it doesn't matter what M.2 and Type-C interfaces are, but they can't use them anyway. In fact, it will take many years to buy a computer. A few years later, it is not clear what interfaces are popular. Now, it is necessary to buy a motherboard with complete interfaces.

The motherboard is good. I just want to spray intel. Now every generation of CPU pins need to be replaced. I don't know how much improvement can be achieved if there is a difference of one or two pins. It's really money without limit!

This motherboard can be said to be customized for game players. Its excellent audio output, unique breathing light design, and delay free network protection are all selling points of this motherboard. Therefore, it costs 200 yuan more than Z170-A, which is a good choice for players. Otherwise, you'd better buy Z170-A.

ROG player equivalent intel I219V network card supermeFX sound effect gamefirst low latency sonic radar sound positioning solid material without performance Short board comes with AI suit one click overclocking, easy to use, very stable

The expansion interface is still not rich. There are too few SATA EXPRESS interfaces. There is only one M2 interface. It is good to have both

There are no shortcomings on the whole. The price can still be lowered

ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard has five advantages, such as player network and player sound effect. Compared with the previous generation motherboard, the new Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard has not only good game experience and high durability, but also personalized customization function and extreme overclocking performance.
The motherboard has done a good job in reducing game latency. The Intel Gigabit network card and GameFirst II technology designed for games can effectively reduce game latency, allowing you to have more fun in games. The second is the sound effect. If the sound effect of the game is powerful, playing the game is easier to enter the state, and the game experience will also be a higher level. The Supreme FX audio technology and Japanese professional audio capacitor adopted by ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard can bring you independent sound card level hearing enjoyment. Therefore, real game enthusiasts should certainly enjoy a non discounted gaming experience.

You need a tasteful netizen to buy this board.

This is very safe and durable. In terms of materials, ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard adopts high-quality inductance and capacitor and stainless steel moisture-proof backplane, which greatly extends its service life. DIGI+digital power supply function and ESD anti-static protection function can ensure safe operation of the motherboard
It also adds the player's light effect function, which allows us to customize the audio and motherboard's personalized LED light effect according to our own preferences, coupled with a transparent side panel chassis, which is absolutely eye-catching. In short, as an upgraded ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard, it not only perfectly inherits many excellent game features of the previous generation, but also adds many bright elements, which is definitely a masterpiece.

The disadvantages have covered up the advantages. Let's not talk about them. Look at the disadvantages.

I don't know whether it's a new platform or what it's like. It's very unstable. There's no sense of smooth running. There are always small problems. Please read the summary in detail

Alas... I don't know whether others are delayed. Let me talk about the process I used and the real experience. The computer is used by the company. As a design, today is the third overhaul after I bought it. The first two times was because the whole audio module had a problem, and there was no sound at all. After the warranty, I came back to work normally for three days. There was another problem, and I continued to report for repair. This time, I strongly asked for a new one, but after six months, there was a problem, The system frequently crashes on the blue screen. The reinstallation system cannot write at all. The original version of Win7Win10 is not the original version. Every time it is normal, an error is reported. The hard disk is detected without any problem. The hard disk is replaced with another computer to install the system normally. Because it is designed by the company, I am very upset. I can't do anything after a strike. I can't believe this is the quality of ASUS.

His workmanship is very fine, and it is very smooth to use,

ASUS z170-AR motherboard The BIOS version 1801 does not know whether the same problem has occurred. In June, when the computer played lol, the temperature could reach 80 degrees. When I opened the computer, the temperature soared, let alone the test, I thought it was a radiator problem. After a long time, I thought it was a problem of overclocking, but the bios is a default. Coincidentally, I refreshed the bios, and the temperature was normal. Yesterday, the same problem occurred again, After the fan problem is eliminated, the bios is brushed again, and the temperature is normal again. Do you know whether the same situation has occurred? This figure shows that when the CPU is tested, the temperature of 40 ℃ directly rises to 80 ℃

I bought the motherboard for three months and it didn't light up, but they didn't fix it and replaced it for me

In fact, I'm not talking about the motherboard, but about the ROG Supreme FX Hi Fi external sound card. When I read this information on the official website of ASUS, I saw that the ROG SupremeFX Hi Fi external sound card is actually an earphone installed in the CD drive compartment. When you see it, you should not be careless to think that it is a decoder or something, even if it really looks like it

Each part has no short board. The most popular and important functions of the new generation motherboard have been provided, including USB 3.1 interface, super M.2 interface, SATA Express interface, HDMI 2.0, special overclocking chip, luxury 22 phase power supply, etc.
This motherboard is not weak in audio and network functions, and bel canto master 3 also has professional capacitors.
Multi graphics card full speed crossfire, auxiliary CPU overclocking, higher front-end bus, excellent workmanship.

The unit price is on the high side. Netizens who work part-time cannot accept it.

High end motherboard should be equipped with high-end CPU, which is very easy to be super! Note that the X38 board only supports A card fire fighting.

The requirements for mainboards are always high. This motherboard basically meets my requirements. First of all, a 64GB large capacity is rare. The main chip is also good. The most important thing is the lighting. It's very shiny. It's very dangerous

The motherboard is pretty good. Although it's expensive, it's still worth the money

Good motherboard. The configuration is not too low

This motherboard has five advantages, such as player network and player audio effect. It is equipped with Intel Gigabit network card and USB3.1 interface. With solid materials, excellent workmanship and strong performance, it is a high-end configuration, cool appearance, and can support 4k HD output without independent graphics card

The price is a little expensive, but the cost performance is good

This series of products are expensive for a reason

The ROG black technology and overclocking performance can make people fondle no matter the process and materials

It seems that the data bandwidth and SATA slot are inferior to Gigabyte

This year, there was an I7 6700K ROG motherboard named M8E. Last year, I didn't see the M7E. I don't know whether it is Yingge's 4790K overclocking capacity is insufficient. I believe in the price. Of course, it seems that it is a belief motherboard. Okay, you guys who are good at money and like overclocking, you should go

It has faster DDR4 memory. In terms of CPU power supply, 16+4+2 phase full digital power supply design is adopted, and each power supply is equipped with two front and one rear low impedance MOSFETs and closed inductors. The extremely thick radiator with exaggerated shape brings super heat dissipation performance, which protects the extreme overclocking. ASUS Z170-DELUXE provides four DDR4 DIMM memory sockets, supports dual channels, and supports up to the memory frequency of DDR4-3466. In the expansion slot section, the Z170-DELUXE provides one PCIE x16 slot, two PCIEx8 slots, and three PCIEx1 slots. It provides sufficient space and speed support for players to conduct three-way fire fighting/SLI and PCI-E storage devices. On board EZ XMP, EPU and TPU switches make it easy to use high-end memory overclocking, turn on energy-saving mode and adjust light display.

It adopts Ruiyu's top decoding chip ALC1150, supports 7.1 channel audio output, and is equipped with Japanese audio professional capacitors and ear amplifiers, as well as audio module LED cutting light band and channel layered isolation design to shield electromagnetic interference.
The disk interface has 1 SATA - E, 6 SATA 3 interfaces and one M.2 interface. The number of six SATA 3 interfaces can meet the hard disk expansion needs of most users. The only SATA E interface is designed to match the USB3.1 front panel. The motherboard accessories do not include this panel. Users who need it can buy it by themselves. M. The specification of the 2 interface is PCI-E 3.0X4, and the theoretical speed is up to 32Gb/s. The SSD provides four lengths, up to 22110. The cool breath lamp under the heat sink of Nanqiao is a highlight of the Z170-DELUXE in terms of appearance. It can not only achieve 256 color adjustment, but also has a variety of flickers.

I haven't found any shortcomings for the time being.

Gorgeous appearance, white Durex. The appearance design is novel and soft, and the iceberg is beautiful. High specification configuration, far superior to A series and HERO series. Up to 22 phase power supply, and extra expansion interfaces. It can be said to be the flagship motherboard of Xiuwaihuizhong.
