    Great Motherboard.
    I will start by saying that I am not a huge overclocker. I have done some but I don't go to crazy extremes with it. This is a ROG motherboard that is seriously dedicated to gamers/overclockers/enthusiast. In the BIOS it comes with tools that will auto clock your CPU for you under reliable test. I am currently at 14% overclock based on a stock program and am thrilled with that. This is a EATX motherboard so be sure you are aware of that which that means this board is HUGE. I was able to fit it into a P90 open air case from thermaltake with ease but not every case will be as lucky as to make this work for them. It was super easy to install and hook up with most of your plugs going where you are used to. One thing that was different and i absolutely love is the USB 3.0 hook up is on the same side as your 24 pin connection. The reason I love this is it just makes more sense with my case and I was able to run the wires much nicer but not everyone is going to feel that way clearly. If you are an RGB person which I just so happen to be this case got so many lights on it that are super bright and really make my case POP even more. I have not figured out how to control the lights and in truth im not even 100% sure I can it says Aura Syn which I have downloaded but I could be missing something. Currently they are on color cycle which is actually fine by me because that's how i typically run my lights anyway. This MOBO is super sturdy I loved how rigid it was when I was unboxing it it feels of some serious quality. There are so many things this MOBO can do that none of my other ones could ever do. The only drawback is there is only 2 ram slots so 16gb is what you can max out at. For me this is not an issue as I feel my 16gb of 2400 are more than enough for my needs and if I ever want to I can always upgrade to faster ram. All in All I feel like this MOBO is absolutely perfect. Bios was easy to get up and running, lights look beautiful, strong build material, tons of overclock options, tons of headers on the board as well. I haven't fully put the board through its paces nor have I tested out some of the other onboard features but i'm sure I will.Setup:ASUS ROG Maximus IX Apex MotherboardI7 7700KRTX 2080TI FTW316GB G SKILL TridentZ RGB 2400 ramThermaltake Floe AIO triple riing RGB 360 TT liquid coolerThermaltake 750w PSUThermaltake P90 open air caseCorsair 480GB SSDSamsung 1TB HDD

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully made, packaged, and documented.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017
    Size: ATXStyle: MAXIMUS IX HEROVerified Purchase
    I'm in love. I think a summary statement is "easy to use" in all ways: packaging, board, BIOS.

    The packaging matters because one has to remove the board from the packaging. The packaging doesn't need to be sexy (yet it is in its simplicity), but it needs to enable safe removal of the unit. It does that. It stores the accessories away nicely. There is a cardboard "tray" that holds the board, and that can be set aside while getting out other items (such as the manual).

    I found the manual to actually be useful. It was just a notch above documenting the facts, and is going to be a valuable reference as I tinker with overclocking.

    I am surprised at how impressive the backplate with punch-outs is. It is sturdy and insulated with a nice, soft seal. Securing the board in place seals up the ports so that dust infiltration will be minimal in that area.

    Installation onto the motherboard tray was normal. My area of being impressed here is that my previous board rested on 8 posts, instead of 9. The 9th makes a difference. They are also arranged, mostly, in parallel rows making the support uniform.

    I was pleased and shocked to find that the BIOS were so helpful and well laid out. Between the UI and the documentation, this was easy to use.

    My previous board was an ASRock A77. The BIOS was rubbish that belonged in the 1990s. The board was not nearly as well built and felt flimsy by comparison. This ASUS board is a step up into a whole new world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beastly Motherboard
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2017
    Size: ATXStyle: MAXIMUS IX FORMULAVerified Purchase
    Like another reviewer stated earlier, this is also the most I've ever spent on a motherboard - and I have no regrets. Very solid all around, I'm pushing 5GHz on a 7700k and watercooling all around for maximum quiet and I'm sure I could go even higher. The inlet & outlet ports on the Crosschill water block for the VRM's is working great, no leaks and standard EK-ACF connections fit perfectly.

    Also as stated before, there are a couple downsides - like only one internal USB 2.0 header and the second vertical M.2 slot is wonky; but the rest of the board makes you forget about those issues. The build quality is second to none, I've never seen a motherboard as well built as this one. The steel back plate is huge and sturdy, the ABS 'armor' on the top is a nice touch, the pre-assembled back I/O shield is gorgeous, and the Aura LED lighting is spectacular. The UEFI BIOS is excellent, and there's more than enough settings to make anyone's head spin. This thing even has dedicated ports & slow-start processes for LN2 if you really want to get ultra-crazy.

    Besides the Crosschill water cooling & build quality though, why I really bought this board was for the components. It has a dedicated base-clock chip & Digi+ power control to really push the BCLK frequency, micro-fine alloy chokes, and Texas Instruments NexFet MOSFET's which are twice as efficient as standard MOSFETS, as well as anti-static & surge protection built in all around. This board is simply made to take whatever you throw at it.

    Hopefully this is the last purchase I make for my computer for a while, time will tell if it takes the abuse I give it but so far so good.

    El producto llegó en excelentes condiciones. La BIOS de ASUS es genial ya que te permite hacer overclock a tu CPU con mucha facilidad y no necesitas ser un experto. A diferencia de la CODE la FÓRMULA es más cara debido a que se encuentra protegida por una armadura en la parte trasera y te permite poner sistema líquido en la placa; además de tener un color más sobrio y mayor iluminación. La primera que encargue salió con un defecto de BIOS pero Amazon se encargó de devolverme el dinero y hacer el cambio :)
    Les recomiendo que compren un i5 7600k o superior para poder hacer el overclock

    Plus it took me just over an hour to finally fit this into my PC just to find out that it didn’t even work in the first place.
    First I thought maybe it was my CPU but trying it on another PC my CPU was fine.
