ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME Motherboard

Conclusions

The ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME has plenty of power and features for the extreme overclocker. It has all the features we are used to see on motherboards targeted to enthusiasts, plus additional features that help liquid-nitrogen cooling. And there is the OC panel, which is useful for the hardcore overclocking enthusiast.

The motherboard is also excellent for gamers, thanks to the high-end slot configuration that allows four-way SLI and CrossFireX arrays with a PLX switch chip, which makes all slots to be controlled by the CPU and thus be PCI Express 3.0. The ten SATA-600 ports are more than enough for almost any user, and the high-end audio interface and the included Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapter supporting the latest IEEE  802.11ac standard are always welcome.

The only “problem” with the ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME is its price: it is made for a hardcore overclocker carrying a stuffed wallet.
