Hi there,

I'm definitely new here, and am on my first ROG gaming (of course !) build.

That's the build:

• MB: Asus Maximus VII Impact
  
• RAM: Trident X, 2 X 8 Go, 2400 MHz, CAS 10
  
• CPU: i5-4690K
  
• Case: Thermaltake Core V1
  
• PSU: Corsair HX850i
  
• GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 970 DirectCU Mini
  
• CPU cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2
  
• HD: Seagate Desktop SSHD, 2To, Samsung Série 850 EVO SSD, 500 Go, SATA III
  
• case vents: 2 X Be Quiet ! Shadow Wings SW1 80
  

I went into some minor troubles but have been, so far, absolutely stunned with the ROG features !
I mean: firmware update without even booting the MB: check. Resetting the FW to default factory without booting the MB: check.
Post codes at the rear of the MB: check.
Really impressive. As a long time builder of systems (well, last one was 2008, so I'm a bit rusty, for sure), that is totally AWESOME.

I'm not yet into overclocking but I have to say I'm really impressed by the ROG product line.

That's gonna be my feedback.
