    Asus Maximus V Formula Pics + Early Thoughts



    Had the opportunity to get my hands on the new Maximus V Formula from Asus recently and so far, I have nothing but positive things to say. Overall the MVF is very similar to the Gene many know well but with several important additions. Higher voltages, IMC-DRAM offset, and three way sli/cf really allow the MVF to shine compared to the MVG.

    While I haven't had the time I would like, the MVF has already allowed clocks that never would have been possible on the Gene. DRAM offset voltage can make a world of difference in certain situations. As we have started to see already from computex and Raja, the MVF will soon be a common sight at the top of the 32M LCC rankings.

    Will update with scores as they come, board has already shown that 6650 through 32M isn't an issue
