ChrsPlmr's "Joe Rog Consumer Review" of the CrossHair V Formula (X-Sticky) (8-22-2011)

While I am waiting to review the Team CrossHair V Formula I continue to be amazed at this board. I have been
running my present CrossHair V Formula for several months now. I continually see questions of memory use
especially with the postponed AMD FX (BullDozer) cpu that this board was born for.
Many have raised the question, does this CrossHair V Formula deserve to wear the black and red of ROG since
its full potential can not be known without this cpu?

Many here, myself included get lost in all the utilities of testing, stressing and benchmarking.
The Joe Average ROG Consumer wants to game, overclock, surf the internet, whatever they ask their
computer to do, they expect and dont need or want to spend hours reading technical documents to turn it on.
We did our research and we took out our money and laid it down for the best on the market today.
And now all we want to do with it, is play.

So I put my CrossHair V Formula and ASUS to the "Joe Average ROG Consumer Seeing Is Believing Test"
This is the unedited result, enjoy.



***Please Note***
The pause you see was with the video server, I had to refresh, click it back over to 720
and then full screen it, took precious time of the 5 minutes..The end I clicked AIii to bring up
temp and voltageIt looked like I clicked tools and went blue screen but as you see below I went on from there with it to post. ...The video ends exactly @ 5 minutes.
This thing is almost bullet proof.
I could put it back to sleep and back and forth again.
That, from what I understand is all Memory/Stability.

The camera I was using was a Nikon D90 with a 5 minute video limit. I went on to shut down the browsers, upload the video
to the computer, convert it to divX using AMD Vision Center, review it, upload it to youtube, create this
post, all without rebooting.
I haven't seen a blue screen since I followed the memory thread questions I posted and that were
answered by Members, @Asus Guyz and ++Raja @Asus ...to OverClock to 4.1 @ 1866- (Stay Tuned)

The specs of the system used CH V F, 1100T, 8gb domGT, 2x6850's.
Yea, it ROG's.
