Now it is all covered with EMI shield, has strongly dimensioned capacitors (1500UF) and the extended support DTS (DTS and DTS connect sound). But there was also a change in the actual sound chip. It's just like last year, an additional power supply for the graphics card to the board (or rather power PCIe slots)-in a case involving a really voracious reader GPU such as SLI or Crossfire.ĩ)Have you noticed a strange line from the audio outputs of the board towards the sound chip? Yes, we have light LED "path" from the audio chip towards outputs, such as we know from the Maximus Gene or Maximus Formula V. Some may be unhappy, I do not need no PCI. Just bought a cable to connect the card to this connector, then stick the other cable to the output of the graphics card (displayport).ħ)SATA.we now have 8x SATA 6G, originally there was seven.Ĩ)Classic PCI disappeared, now we can find only PCIe lines. Even to this feature later return.Ħ)At the bottom is too new Thunderbolt connector card. Used to enter the BIOS without keyboard there. Excellent and useful thing.ĥ)Just to the right we see a small black button called "direct key". Another switch "fast boot", specifically to support Windows8, but what I tested with Win7, and there is shorter than the older Crosshair V. Both are suitable for extreme overclocking (so for xremesystems guys :-)).ģ)Little else and skip the eye we also takes us otherwise designated liabilities over the southern bridge.Ĥ)Just a bit below it on the bottom edge of the board is also changed a few things. I'm talking now about the switch "slow mode" and LN2 jumper mode. I, too, quietly behind them in a spirit of prayer and it was answered by me. To recap, allows access to your favorite OC profile, which, at the appropriate BIOS submenu create.Ģ)Two more utility can be found directly to the left of the POST display. Conversely disappeared On the contrary, the OC disappeared, but its function partially replace small, red BUTTON GO button. And hooray, POST display, the one I was looking forward :-). Specifically, in the upper right corner, following the example of most of ROG boards last generation. And it can be improved existing board Crosshair V? Yes, this can be improved, even if it is still on the same chipset :-).įirst, therefore, look at the two plates together, uffff, and that is that? A careful eye will notice, however, at first sight a few differences (click to enlarge).ġ)Function keys have been moved to another location on the board. Can it be slightly improved performance, fixed some bugs, improved the ratio of performance/ consumption, improved IMC, added instructions, etc. Vishera core Piledriver is only refresh of Bulldozer. Vishera fix it? This is a speculative question, but when I broached the topic, you must realize the basic thing. Domain of Bulldozer performance is erratic - sometimes high, the average and weaker elsewhere. It is not true that Bulldozer was downright bad, but expectations were high. Then for Bulldozer we waited another few months and enthusiasm for most users, unfortunately fallen. Chipset and motherboard itself I introduced you in a separate article, for example here: It's more than a year, it was introduced Motherboard ASUS Crosshair V Formula AMD990FX chipset. I saying for this year, because if Vishera becomes similar processor such as Thuban, we could theoretically wait for Extreme versions? Or at least dream of many AMD users, version Gene. Today we finally look at the new flagship ROG AMD for this year. Don't worry about Processors compatibility.ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z - a new shine for Bulldozers? Great board at a good price considering it's on par with a Maximus V Formula (Intel).Ĭonsidering people are using LN2 with it, I don't think power delivery (burning) is a problem here. With our recommendation lists for ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z you'll always find the perfect supported component. I'm running mine since its launch: first with a Phenom II X6 1090T 4,2Ghz and then my current FX-8350 which I have at 5,0Ghz (1,53V I think) during benchmarks. One thing though is at those high voltages the NB/VRM heatsink can get quite hot (60 to 70C) you'd need to replace the thermal paste or put a fan on it if you're running it at high volts.ītw, do yourself a favor and buy an FX-8350 instead of a FX-9xxx and overclock the crap out of it. In anticipation of those CPUs the first 990FX motherboards are starting to appear and weve got the ASUS Crosshair V Formula on the bench table today. Buy Asus AMD Crosshair V Formula-Z Motherboard online at low price in India on Amazon.in. You will probably get to 4,5Ghz quite easily with a 8350 and the right cooling (4,8Ghz with something like a CLC if you have a good chip). And on to the ability to support a whopping 32GB of Memory, this breathes yet more life into the AM3+ socket.
