ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII IMPACT

Very favourably impressed

I'm building a compact, computing power-oriented machine on a standard platform. According to the fashionable marketing segmentation, a creator pc and not a gamer.
I chose this mobo a bit out of spite because I couldn't find a micro-atx in x570, while the available micro-itxes seemed a bit too small to accommodate an AMD 5900X.
This mobo belongs to the ASUS IMPACT series, which seems to be a bit different from the rest of the range. If it sacrifices to the fashion of the useless multicoloured LEDs, it is very richly endowed and has "advanced" settings. Its overclocking capability is much more impressive than its small size would suggest.
I would also like to point out the quality of the ASUS bundle: very complete instructions, small screws, pad and spacers for the SSDs, lots of cables and perfect finishings.
I was worried about the noise of the two tiny chipset fans, and even then it's a no-brainer.
All in all, despite the high price, not at all disappointed with this purchase.

Great motherboard

Great motherboard, mounted in a Thermaltake Level 20 VT case, looks really good with RGB.
I think the price is aggressive, but it's worth the quality of the product.
