Asus Maximus VII Formula - Is it really worth it?

aLemonNation · June 7, 2015

What do you guys think? Do you think the motherboard is worth it for $300 USD? I personally like the ROG armor included, but adding around $100 USD more for it seems unreasonable. Should I stick with my MSI Gaming 3 z97 or upgrade?

I don't see why you would want to pay 300 bucks to replace you already working MSI Gaming 3 which has the same chipset. There is barely any difference performance wise.

Nope, nope, nope and more importantly NOPE. Unless you need the very fancy absolutely not worth the money connivence saving over-clocking features don't get it.

It really comes down to the looks, - and what that is worth to you.

I'm happy with mine, but when I got it, I was fully aware of what I'm doing (buying an overly expensive piece of hardware just for the looks - ok plus the waterblock on it as well). If we leave those two things out... there's no way I would have bought this board, as you can get about the same hardware for roughly half that price.

Anything ROG is pretty much always want, not need.
