    ASUS ROG Maximus II Formula, Intel's P45 chipset





    SOURCE: hardspell.com

    As expected of a highend motherboard like this, ASUS has set the bar very high to create an even better board than the prior one. The board features a 16-phase power connection for the processor, three for the Northbridge, and two for the DDR2 memory. According to ASUS this ensures a very reliable solution that allows excellent performance under all circumstances.

    This board looks AMAZING. the voltage regulation seems a bit overkill though

    Interesting what they have done with the Sata, looks like they have gone with 6 provided by ICH9R and the other two by the JMicron. Like they do on the DFI board.
