ASUS ROG Assembly

[SPAS-ID]

ROG Maximus VIII Extreme/Assembly is based on the latest Intel Z170 Express chipset.  It features 5-Way Optimization auto-tuning, Pro Clock, second-generation T-Topology and DIGI+ to maximize the performance and overclocking potential of the Intel 6th-generation processors and DDR4 memory. Tremendous effort has been put into developing the new ROG SupremeFX Hi-Fi audio solution, the Extreme/Assembly edition features an ESS ES9018K2M digital-to-audio converter (DAC) along with two Texas Instruments LM4562 operational amplifiers for superior audio signal amplification, lower distortion and audio jitter, and delivers audiophile-grade 32-bit/384kHz and DSD128 playback. A front-panel headphone amp is bundled, the TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier has an output of over 6VRMS to drive 600Ohm high-fidelity headphones! Maximus VIII Extreme/Assembly also comes bundled with the ROG 10Gb/s Ethernet add-on card which is the fastest onboard consumer solution currently available.  

 

“We’re excited to work with the industry-leading gaming brand ROG to include our 10G Express expansion card, providing supreme-speed, lag-free online gaming experiences for ROG gamers. ROG is the first gaming brand committed to providing high-performance, low-power and great-value multi-gigabit networking and future-proof standards, expanding the potential and appeal of its elite gaming gear.” – Nir Sever, Chief Operating Office, Tehuti Networks 

Basicly its a Motherboard with a Soundcard and a Ethernet Add-on card

for a sec i thought it was RAIDR Express

To bad it'll be like $650-$800 I bet.

 

 

 

 

Match made in heaven doe:

 

[Aytex]

To bad it'll be like $650

980 ti right there

[Lays]

980 ti right there

 

The NORMAL maximus extreme is like $500 last I checked, this one with all the shit I wouldn't be surprised if it was $750

[AHaskin14]

That's Beautiful.

[Prysin]

that gonna match well with the Sapphire R9 Fury

 

heh

[NumLock21]

Meh, that board can't even do 3-way SLI.

This one can and it's cheaper too. It has a PLX chip for added PCIe lanes so you can run 2-way SLI at x16/x16 instead of x8/x8. Can go up to 4-way SLI.

This must be photoshopped as I thought the only ROG acceptable colorscheme was black and red. This is clearly black and orange. So obviously it must mean the person photoshopping the image was colorblind and failed to make it look like a real maximus mobo with the required black and red gamer colorscheme.

Obvious sarcasm aside, I'm really excited that Asus is FINALLY using a colorscheme that isn't black and red. I am exited to see the orange themed builds using this motherboard that people come up with. Even though it will be prohibitively too expensive for many people to buy, maybe Asus will use this colorscheme with their cheaper offerings in the future. Oh and the technology in it is cool I guess...

It`s the new LTT edition, just like the new Noctuas .

Isn't this just a repost of the announcement last week?

 

I can't seem to find the one in this section but here is a random poop post in graphics cards....

[Suika]

They better not go with a fresh color scheme and destroy it with that bright red ROG logo.

[Commander Llama]

LTT theme colours... 10Gb/s for the new office... Ridiculously overpriced...

 

They should toss it in a build log!

[Master Disaster]

@LinusTech have you been talking to Asus about LTT branded motherboards in secret?

This is freaking beautiful but I've said it before, anything more than $200/£150 on a motherboard and your just lining the shareholders pockets.

ATX and E-ATX for normal computers need to GTFO and join the fossils they belong with, still waiting for a decent M-ATX board this generation. One might not ever come.

Sorry just read this on ASUS Indonesia

OCF-M comes out december, the Gene is a monster board as well.

 

I've always liked bigger boards though, but I tend to SLI sometimes, and I don't like the lack of airflow that comes with Matx.

[That Norwegian Guy]

the Gene is a monster board as well.

 

The Gene is the closest to something I would buy, but it makes the critical mistake of being a board that costs over 2000 NOK and has only 1 Gigabit Ethernet port.

 

It's also black and red, so I'd literally only buy it after completely giving up hope on something better coming out.

[RazrLeaf]

I'm having the same issue you are. I'm on the lookout for a <$150 USD all black mATX Z170 board that uses and Intel NIC. I'd also be willing to pay a bit more for on-board WiFi and Alpine Ridge.

 

Someone should honestly release a series of boards at <$150 that all feature the exact same feature set/power delivery, and just make an ATX, mATX and mITX. Or at least ATX and mATX, because you can keep the topology the same on those, and just take off a few SATA and PCIe ports/slots.

You're probably not going to find something in matx fashion with more than 1 gigabit port, the general consumer buying those boards are probably not concerned with it or requesting board makers to put them on, so I doubt we'll see it.

Z170 Oc Formula mATX version won't either, as the Gene & OCFM are more centered around overclocking features.

[PlayStation 2]

Throw in an Asus themed R9 Fury X and I'll eat that shit up

If the cheapest X99 mATX board (AsRock X99M Extreme4) has two Gb ethernet ports, it's not unreasonable to expect the same from the most expensive Z170 board (one that is more expensive than said AsRock board to boot)

 

And the AsRock board still has more power phases and not being more cheaply made in any other areas, so it's not like they have an excuse.

Because x99 is meant for workstations, z170 isn't. If there is no demand for extra ethernet ports then they have no reason to include them.

There is demand, as evident of the workstation boards for all previous Z-chipsets from a number of vendors. And there's no reason to think workstation class features shouldn't be on smaller form factors, especially when the platform has fewer true PCIe lanes on offer. PLX PEX chips just introduce latency anyway.

[Decon]

I'll buy it used in 4 years for $100-200 lol
