ASUS MAXIMUS VI IMPACT Motherboard

Conclusions

This tiny motherboard offers almost all the features usually found on high-end motherboards, which explains why it is part of the ROG (Republic of Gamers) series. At one hand, it still lacks a set of PCI Express x16 slots (having only one expansion slot practically defines the Mini-ITX form factor) and has only two memory sockets, but on the other hand, ASUS managed to include a high-end voltage regulator, which allows the installation of a high-end CPU and helps with overclocking.

The high-end audio interface is another great feature, as well as the included Wi-Fi module based on the new IEEE 802.11ac standard and room for the new M.2 slot.

If you are planning to build a high-end gaming PC based on an Intel socket LGA1150 CPU using the Mini-ITX platform, the Maximus VI IMPACT is an excellent choice.
