USBs, with transfer rate up to 5 Gb/s.x2 2.0 USBs, with transfer rate up to 480 Mb/s.1.4b HDMI and a 1.2 DisplayPort output for our CPU integrated GPU.It might not sound like a big deal for many, but for a guy who grew up on 386 builds, and had many of its fingers scarred by generations of these animals, it is HUGE! The IOs And the Formula was the first ASUS motherboard to feature this option with the MAXIMUS IX Formula edition. I love a well placed integrated I/O shield. Nothing groundbreaking here, as usual, we have our 6 3.0 SATA plugs. Since the first 2 16 slots, PCIes are the one most likely to receive GPUs, they have been metallically re-enforced for a better support. The last 16 slot PCIe is capped at a nominal 4 BUS speed, no matter the GPU configuration. ![]() In a dual GPU configuration, the two first 16 slot PCIe will share bandwidth and will deliver up to 8 full BUS speed individually. Make sure to use it for optimal GPU performances. In a single GPU configuration, the first 16 slot PCIe (the closest on to the CPU), can deliver 16 full BUS speed. We have an impressive 6 individual 3rd Generation PCIe present on this board. This makes me mad! So mad! But that’s Intel decision. Yet you will not be able to use Z170 and Z270 compatible chipsets with Z370 chipsets and their so-called LGA 1151 “v2”. This is the very same LGA 1151 socket that you would find on a Z170 or a Z270 series. MAXIMUS X Formula Back Plate The CPU socket LGA 1151 V2 It really adds to the robustness of the board. Note that the back has a 70% plate to logic board ratio protective back-plate. The Z370 chipset is, of course, compatible to support 6th and 7th generations Intel CPUs, but Intel has artificially limited its compatibility to force in, yet another motherboard expensive upgrade. I do think Intel made a marketing blunder and an insulting one at that. The so-called Coffee Lake CPUs.Īs you may already know, I am not very happy about this. Can ONLY run 8th Gen.Intel processors.Equipped with the new Intel Z370 chipset.This is an ATX (24.4 cm X 30.5 cm), so chose your case accordingly!. ![]()
