Overclocking

Small but perfectly formed, the ASUS Maximus VII Gene isn’t lacking in the overclocking department, capable of running out a 4.9GHz clockspeed without any fuss.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that mATX motherboards were only good for HTPC systems. Or maybe we’re getting old. Still it’s fantastic to see that you’re free to choose whichever size PCB best fits your needs without compromising performance capability.
