ASUS Maximus VI HERO motherboard review - Product Showcase

There's a secondary BIOS available for you should you mess up the first one. The little button to the right is a Direct Key button for booting directly into the firmware interface without worrying about hitting the Del key. To the left another USB host ports. You'll have a plethora of USB functionality really.

Next to the right go button we see a reset and power button. Should you mess up your memory configuration and the overclock halts at boot/post, then press the MemOK button. The mem will be down clocked whilst leaving the overclock in-tact.

To the right of it there's going on something else though:

Here we can see a diagnostic POST status led, it basically shows the CPU temp and / or status codes.

ASUS Maximus V Extreme review
We review the ASUS Maximus V Extreme. There is a kind of people that feel enough is not enough, they want moar' and for exactly that kind of enthusiast end user ASUS creates ROG EXTREME products. This is a ROG (Republic of Gamers) motherboard, and that means extra enthusiast features alright, as for overclockers, here's where things start to get serious, the board is designed with a 12-phase Digi+ VRM, Subzero Sense, has voltage-measurement points and the ROG Connect technology (overclock the board via Bluetooth from their phone). And yes there's still more, ASUS throws in the OC Key as well, which creates an overlay on the active DVI monitor to adjust overclock settings in real-time without using additional software or hardware (it connects to the graphics card DVI port). The ASUS Maximus V Extreme just breathes overclock potential.
