\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[ASUS ROG Crosshair V <\/b>Formula-Z Review<\/b>
\nThis motherboard is a gaming motherboard created by ASUS. The packaging was professional, as you would expect for a high-end gaming motherboard. Not only was the motherboard protected by a sturdy box, that box was within another box! It appears they spent a lot of time thinking out the design. Here is a quick overview of its specs:
\nCPU Socket Type: AM3+
\nMemory Supported: DDR3![\"Image](\"https:\/\/www.pcper.com\/files\/imagecache\/article_max_width\/review\/2013-03-17\/chvfz_02.jpg\")
\nMemory Speed: 2400 (O.C) \/ 1600
\nForm Factor: ATX<\/p>\n

The only problem I have with this motherboard is the fact that, not overclocked, this motherboard can only run DDR3 1600 RAM. In comparison, the\u00a0ASUS TUF Sabertooth 990FX can run a max of DDR3 1866 RAM without being overclocked. Overclocked, however, this motherboard can become a lot faster than this competitor, so I’ll let it slide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Though this motherboard has onboard audio, you won’t be able to find integrated video on this motherboard.\u00a0Then again, what would you expect from a gaming motherboard? This motherboard has one PS\/2 keyboard or mouse port for those who use older keyboards or mice. In addition, it boasts four USB 3.0 and\u00a0eight\u00a0<\/em>USB 2.0 ports, making it easy for you to find a plugin for all of your gadgets. To top it all off, this motherboard supports the ROG equipment from ASUS<\/a>.<\/p>\n So how much does someone pay for this? On Newegg, at the time of writing this, it was running at $219.99<\/a>\u00a0with free shipping. ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <![CDATA[ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z Review This motherboard is a gaming motherboard created by ASUS.
