ROG Maximus VIII Formula

Z170 ATX motherboard for 6th Gen. Intel processors with CrossChill EK Hybrid air/liquid cooling.
 
 
 
The ROG Maximus VIII Formula is a Z170-based ATX gaming motherboard with an innovative cooling design that uses an exclusive CrossChill EK water block to cool its VRMs. ROG teamed up with EK Water Blocks to develop a custom solution with a high-conductivity copper channel for quiet and cool operation with air- or liquid-cooled builds. During internal testing with a liquid cooling system, the CrossChill EK reduced MOSFET temperatures by up to 23°C.
The Maximus VIII Formula features all-new Aura LED illumination and durable, laser-engraved ROG Armor. Onboard LEDs combine with a header for standard RGB strips to let users illuminate their systems like never before. Customizable Aura effects include breathing, strobing, and color-cycling modes. The lighting can also pulsate to the beat of your favorite music or change color based on the CPU temperature.
The Maximus VIII Formula has the very latest Intel Gigabit Ethernet along with LANGuard to optimize network traffic for faster, lag-free online gaming. 5-Way Optimization lets users maximize CPU performance for gaming, entertainment, or productivity with a single click. SupremeFX 2015 brings together the best audio inputs and outputs, special shielded designs, and a collection of professional-grade hardware to ensure crystal-clear sound.

"VESA Adaptive-Sync" is Free-Sync, right?

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

They really need to dial back on their product design - this stuff could be in the next Transformers movie.

Nontheless that 24" 4K monitor and the modular keyboard got my attention.

144Hz goodness

I'm just waiting for someone to finally capitalize and release a cheap 120hz monitor. Can you imagine the amount of sales that thing would get from CS:GO community (which is massive at the moment)

there aren't any.

 

the cheapest ones are around $250€ that's not even close to cheap. You can get an average IPS monitor for 150, why can't they make a slightly faster TN monitor for that.

 

doesn't even need to have any features, just 120hz and that's it.

MSI did their boards way better. Those things look ugly...though I do like that they made a purple one.

So for the sake of the joke , does anyone know how much a kidney goes for these days ?

10000 to 15000 USD depending on kidney condition, "donors" age, in Thailand.

Also, depends if the black market surgeon is able to extract it cleanly.

Each product has max of two images.

 

Putting in spoilers will make the thread look only text, dull.

Oh look, a black/blue MBO, Linus would'be been be so happy if he did a personal rig update now.

And a suitcase? I suppose that is for sponsorships, don't think anyone ever goes: "Yeah, I need a gaming suitcase for my trip".

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

They have a solid lineup. 

What's the sensor in that mouse I'd like to know. Also will there be higher refresh rate free-sync monitors anytime soon like 165Hz one.

Yup. And if Mercedes sold an S-Class for $10 they'd get a lot of sales too. There's a reason that 120Hz+ monitors are expensive.. It's because the panel is expensive to produce.

Wonder if these monitors will be plagued by all the QC issues like the rest of 'em.
