ASUS Announces E3 Pro Gaming V5

When you put most of your budget on the CPU and graphics card for gaming, it would be a mighty shame if the motherboard didn't look the part at all.  If that is the reason why you'd get the ASUS E3 Pro Gaming V5, you'd be pleasantly surprised to find out exactly what this motherboard is capable of, not mentioning its great looks.  

This ATX motherboard is based on the latest Intel C232 Express chipset, and is ready for server-grade Xeon E3-1200 V5 processors, DDR4 memory, USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type A and Type-C, and NVM Express (NVMe) M.2 for extreme SSD performance. In the CineBench R15 benchmark, the performance of a Xeon E3-1230 V5 (you can find secondhand ones for really cheap!) is close to being on par with an Intel i7 6700! 

Many of the latest ASUS Exclusive technologies are onboard, such as Sonic Radar II in tandem with SupremeFX audio, LANGuard protection, GameFirst technology, RAMCache, water pump header for liquid-cooling, DIGI+ VRM and more!  For details, hit the PR button below.

Now what you need to decide on is whether to build a games rig, the coolest dedicated game server or a Dark Side mod.
