ASUS is one of many Taiwanese technology industries. This particular region has grown tremendously in the market for technology. ASUS has been leading the frontline of this growth. ASUS began as a small motherboard manufacturer, however they now are the leading technology company in Taiwan and they employ over 11,000 people worldwide. ASUS sells many types of information technology including PC components, tablets, smartphones, and more. ASUS was founded April 2, 1989 in Taipei, Taiwan.

The motherboard that I will be reviewing today is the ASUS P9X79 LE LGA 2011 Intel Motherboard. It is LGA 2011 which means you need an intel CPU that has that many pins. The motherboard has in total 8 slots for memory and supports up to 64 GB. That means it is a great motherboard if you plan to upgrade your computer anytime in the future. The motherboard also has 3 PCI Express 3.0 16x slots which means that it’ll handle up to three modern day graphics cards at once, insane! Here are some more specs if you’d like to see them, however I will list a brief amount of specs below.

Specifications:

• Quad-Channel with 8 Ram Slots (Up to 64 GB)
• Supports DDR3 1066-1866 and DDR3 2133-2400 Overclocked
• 3 PCI Express 3.0 16x slots, 2 PCI Express 1x slots, and 1 PCI slot
• LGA 2011 w/ Intel Support
• 4 SATA 3Gb/s and 2 SATA 6Gb/s
• ATX (Side)

This motherboard is extremely compatible and easy to upgrade with. This product has a great price for what it comes with. The motherboard can be purchased at Newegg for $224.99. I would highly recommend this motherboard to anybody that plans to purchase a new computer and upgrade it overtime or even just to upgrade motherboards to a quicker and bigger motherboard. This motherboard is made for gaming and should only be bought for gaming. If you plan to buy for a business computer or typical web-surfing home computer this in’t the best option.
