ROG MAXIMUS IX FORMULA

Gold Award

The ASUS Maximus IX Formula is certainly worthy of its price if you have use for the hardware features, the biggest being its EK II water block system. We love the red, black, and gun metal theme, although we may be a bit biased.

Editor's Choice

I’m happy to award the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula the Proclockers “Editor’s Choice” award. For the enthusiast that must have the best of the best, look no further than the ASUS Maximus IX Formula.

“This expensive board comes with many features that most builders just won’t require, but extreme gamers and tweakers will appreciate everything that Asus has done to make this board feel near-bulletproof. It’s rapid in benchmarks, too, so it’s worth the cash if you need a suitably muscular motherboard.”

Extreme

“The point with the Formula, though, is that everything you need is included in the box to create an awesome water-cooled PC - Gigabyte's similar offerings cost more and the next step up in the ROG range - the Extreme, costs a lot more. It might demand a large chunk of your wallet, but if you want a motherboard that's water-cooling ready and tops the charts in most of our tests, you won't be disappointed with the Formula.”

Performance

“Speaking of running quickly, wow these things are absolute monsters... In addition to the high CPU overclocking the Maximus IX also managed to run with 4000 MHz memory at the same time, something which pretty much puts them in a class of their own. If you're in the market to bust some overclocking records with the latest i7-7700K then the ASUS ROG offerings are a real good place to start. The quality of the BIOS aids this too. The ASUS ROG team who work on their BIOS have had plenty of experience and it shows, with both the Code and the Formula working perfectly straight out the box.”

Worth Buying

“A watercooling-tailored motherboard with an innovative feature-set, the Maximus IX Formula is another well-executed Republic of Gamers product.”

With the Maximus IX Formula, ASUS outdoes itself with the Aura RGB LED lighting scheme, Wi-Fi ac, USB-C front panel connectors, new SupremeFX codec, and a slew of features aimed at gamers. For its asking price of $400, there aren’t many boards that offer nearly as much. If you’re in the market for a feature-rich Z270 motherboard, the Maximus IX Formula is an excellent choice.

Excellent Performance

The Asus Maximus IX Formula is a great motherboard for gamers, modders and overclockers alike. The integrated features offer performance and stability along with ASUS Aura technology that offers RGB lighting options. Armor is the part that defines the Formula series, together with a liquid cooling unit, integrated. These two work together in the layout department, but more importantly, in the cooling zone, keeping the main heat generating components at a lower temperature.

Cool Product

The Asus motherboard will continue to evolve into the characterizing features of the ten-year ROG series. For hardcore gamers it is recommended as crazy tuning because it is not embarrassing either. With regard to the quality of the components, it even raises the workstation boards even though it does not target this segment. The exterior is versatile, and the range of tuning options is almost infinite.
