Maximus VII Impact Review Receives Gold Award From PC Perspective

Top US tech site, live vloggers and podcasters, PC Perspective,  have reviewed the Maximus VII Impact, awarding it their top Gold Award! The Impact is designed to give full ATX performance in the smallest mini-ITX package - which is confirmed by PC Per in this short excerpt on its overclocking:

"To give a feel for the overclocking performance potential of the Maximus VII Impact board, we attempted to push it to known CPU-supported performance parameters with minimal tweaking. We were easily able to get the board running stable for over 4hrs at a 4.67GHz CPU speed, a 2340MHz memory speed, and a 4.0GHz ring bus speed with a 167MHz base clock."

 And to further, on the overall conclusion:

"ASUS again proves the strength of their ROG designs with the Maximus VII Impact board. The board may have a small status, but its got the heart of a champion. ASUS designed the board's layout masterfully, providing sufficient space between all integrated peripherals while maintaining a rich feature set with the board."
