Formula vs. Maximus

[munchtime]

Hey guys, im still new to the ROG series. but i wanna know what's the difference between the Formula and the Maximus series?

 

Which one is better?

[Andi]

All Intel ROG boards are called Maximus. (socket 1150/11551156)

All AMD ROG boards are called Crosshair

 

Than ther are names for each level

 

Impact ->Gene ->Hero -> Formula -> Extreme

 

Impact: mITX

Gene: mATX

Hero: Entry level, if you like the look but don't have the money :D

Formula: Best value, great onboard sound, and watercooling and stuff.

Extreme: Max board performance without much extras for people who buy extra waterblocks and soundcards anyway

[Glenwing]

Maximus has more overclocking features.

maybe this will help...  :)

 

1. Crosshair - AMD (AMD based Chipset boards)

2. Maximus - Intel (P/Z Series Chipset boards)

3. Rampage - Intel (X Series Chipset boards)

4. Striker - Intel (nForce Chipset boards)

 

How they segment their boards:

1. Extreme - Overclockers 

2. Formula - Hardcore Gamers

3. Hero - ?

4. Gene - Case Modders

5. Impact - SFF Enthusiasts
