ASUS Z170 ROG Maximus VIII Formula review

In this review we test the ASUS Z170 ROG Maximus VIII Formula. Armed with a bling customizable AURA RGB LED system, some extensive shielding and then regulars like the hippest features of 2015/16 and you are sure you'll have the right infrastructure for gaming de-li-cious product. If you fire it up with that new 14nm Skylake based Core i7 6700K processor this product will bring a smile to your face.

This motherboard gets 5 stars whereas the Extreme gets only 4 stars, despite being the highest model and also 50 euro more expensive. That's quite ridiculous.

The Extreme is catered towards a very specific crowd, I find it a tad of a hard sell. This is a more consumer oriented board with much better aesthetics hence the extra star. However the final prizing is still not available. Where did you get the notion that formula is 50 EURO more expensive ? An Extreme vanilla is 399 with the OC panel model running up-to 499.

In my country you can preorder the Formula for 399 euros from some shops. The Extreme costs 449 with the OC panel.
EDIT: I think you read wrong. Actually in my post I said it's strange that, being the Formula cheaper, it scores better than the Extreme in your review.

Pre-orders are always expensive, in the end this this is going to be 325~375 EURO board.

Nice RGB lighting.
..except I hope people realise that once you've plugged everything in to the motherboard, it all gets covered up and you can barely see it.
Two graphics cards for instance will cover the lighting on the heatsink and around the sound chip.
In other words..you can't see any of this fancy lighting once the PC is switched on.
Unless you're running a fancy low profile water cooling loop don't buy this Motherboard for the RGB aspect of it.
