We got up close and personal with the Huracan G21 for some in-depth hands on testing across a variety of games and setups.

See who set records using the ASUS Rampage V and Strix GTX 980 Ti!

For many years, Intel's Gigabit Ethernet chips have been the backbone of all ROG, and occasionally ASUS and TUF motherboards. The reason being is that it constantly showed better performance in our testing, which reviewers confirmed in their own testing too. That performance is by no means taken for granted. Each generation the ROG team undertakes extensive benchmarks (that are user repeatable) to understand which chip is better for its audience. After all, you buy a premium brand and expect nothing less. Just because a product throws 'gaming' into the name, are they actually better for it? Not necessarily, which is why things should be tested and benchmarked. This is the foundation all ROG hardware: only when its worth is proven does it get a space in the arsenal!

Hardware.info push the LGA2011 CPU to 5GHz on their P9X79 Deluxe to measure the effects of overclocking on supporting that whopper 11,520 shaders and a large 6GB of graphics memory per card at some insane resolutions.

Lauren at TastyPC has videoed a massive graphics round up, featuring no less than seven ASUS and ROG graphics cards, with benchmarks to boot!

The ROG Maximus VI Formula has been the most unique Z87 on the market since launch, and while checking this "high-end TUF/ROG hybrid", asMadshrimps.be decided to call it, it brings the ultimate mix for either the high demanding gamer or case modder as well as being a foundation for an ultimate high-end gaming setup.

DanK puts the GTX 670 DirectCU Mini on the testing block to discover if this tiny graphics card really can drive massive performance. Everything from the PCB upgrade to the DirectPower + Super Alloy Power hardware, revised DirectCU cooler design and CoolTech fan are ASUS exclusive technologies. It's a lot of kit crammed into 17cm.

Top tech site Anandtech has put the Maximus V Formula on its benching table to compared it to the Z77 overclocking and gaming competition.

Russian overclocker, Smoke, has cracked some world records recently, including Unigen Heaven DX11 and 3DMark06. Here are his benchmark beating specs and HWBot links:
