ROG Maximus VIII Hero is here to save humankind from bad gaming experience, and it will do it in style. See it in detail here!

It's not cheating, you are simply using ROG.

The new Crosshair V Formula-Z and Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 are the 2012 upgrades to ROG and TUF's premium AMD boards. With subtle improvements for AMD's existing FX 'Bulldozer' and future 'Piledriver' architecture, there are feature revisions that both can and can't be seen. One of these is an improved memory performance through higher attainable frequencies - even when using 4-DIMM - thanks to the same T-Topology that ASUS Z77 and ROG Maximus V boards already use, and DIGI+ VRM controlling the power regulation to the memory channels.

Not every innovation can be seen or interacted with; in fact, a lot of the work still goes into the very foundation of motherboard design. While you maybe just now buying and building your latest upgrade with Intel Z77 motherboard as its backbone, ASUS engineers have been testing designs to improve performance and overclocking this time last year. One such enhancement is ASUS' new T-Topology memory layout, which is a significant change to the fundamental DDR3 layout design.
