ASUS Maximus V Formula ThunderFX Review
CineBench and POV-Ray
Published: 8th August 2012 | Source: ASUS | Price: £268 |
CineBench R11.5
The stock performance is the highlight here, only just edged by the Extreme, but ahead of the rest of the Z77 motherboards that we've tested. The overclocked performance isn't quite up there with the best, being a tenth of a point shy of the Extreme and .8 behind the the MSI GD65 and Gigabyte Sniper 3. Extremely close all round though.
POV-Ray
Once again the results are very close between all of the Z77 motherboards, but the Formula is just shaded by both the Extreme, and the MSI GD65. Although the stock performance is better, but you don't buy a ROG motherboard to run at stock, do you.

I don't really like the barbs and the heatsink design in general.Quote
same here, the heatsinks have that rubbery look/texture but other than that great board

QuoteYea, why can't they just make some 1/4 threads, and close it with some plugs with the top in the same material as the heatsinks :/Quote

I don't think it looks that bad at all. And maybe you could just get the dremel out and cut it off? That would ruin the watercooling possibilities on that heatsink though.Quote
