Introduction

MAXIMUS IX FORMULA. IX. Has it really been that many generations already? It really has been a long time since ASUS started their ROG branding, and a big sign of their success is the fact that it is still here and not going anywhere. "Republic of Gamers" means many things for ASUS, but most importantly, it means bringing you exactly what you need to build the fastest gaming PC you can imagine, with the motherboard not getting in the way at all, providing no limits. That means high connectivity options, high quality components, and one of the best BIOSes for overclocking, if not THE best.

Intel's Z270 platform offers many things itself, including CPU clockspeeds in excess of 5 GHz and memory speeds well north of 4000 MHz, M.2 NVME RAID and USB 3.1, and power consumption that is barely noticeable. KabyLake CPUs offer an extremely high level of performance for very little power use, and their raw clockspeeds keep Intel at the top of the high-performance gaming market.

Smash Intel's KabyLake together with ASUS's ROG and you end up with the MAXIMUS IX FORMULA, a mainstream board ready to take your CPU and memory to the ultimate limit, one tough enough to do so for years to come. All the features you expect or want are here, and maybe even a few you never knew you needed until you had them. That's what ASUS ROG does best, and the MAXIMUS IX FORMULA is the perfect example of just how well they do it.
