ROG Maximus VIII Impact Recommended By Anandtech
Anandtech has just given the ROG Maximus VIII Impact a thorough review, and the verdict is in. The Impact made an impact yet again.
ROG Maximus VIII Impact - mini-ITX powerhouse
"... over the years, we’ve reviewed the Maximus VI Impact, the VII Impact and now the VIII Impact . Reading through those reviews, they all have sat at the top of the mini-ITX motherboard stack for both price but also feature set, and the Impact line has become difficult to ignore when building a premium small system. The extra features on the Impact are certainly worth the increased cost, but it’s all a question of use. Thankfully, when we did use it, it came top in pretty much all our system/CPU benchmarks in our Z170 motherboard testing so far, and that is quite hard to ignore."
