ASUS Present The Standard By Which All Other Motherboards Are Measured - The ROG Maximus Series

"For quite some time, ASUS' Republic of Gamers motherboards have been the standard for which all others have been measured. Not only becasue of the branding and traditional red and black theming, but because the ROG brand is continually evolving to meet the needs of the target market.

At one point the ROG boards were limited to a single board in ASUS' product stack. But now you get a whole silo full of boards that meet the needs at each price point and form factor. Be it as support for Intel or AMD in both the extreme and mid-ranged segment, ASUS has the gamer covered...

There is no mistaking an ROG product on the shelf. The blood red color is unique to the ROG brand. The front side of the packaging is a bit minimalistic, with the Republic of Gamers logo at the top left and the motherboard name right across the mid section of the box"

ASUS STRIX-R9390X-DC3OC-8GD5-GAMING On OCAholic

"Performance wise this particular card is on the level we expected it to be. Since the R9 390X is basically a rebrand of the 290X with 4 GB of additional memory, it's able to score a few more frames especially running UHD. Most games, when they're being run at UHD, require more than 4GB of VRAM and that is actually where the 390X with 8GB scores."

Vortez Review SilverStones Raven X RVX01 Chassis

"Adopting the renowned 90-degree motherboard tray rotation, RVX01 not only offers up a quirky internal layout but when combined with the trio of Air Penetrator cooling fans, the cooling performance is exceptional. The positive pressure design to which SilverStone has enforced for many years has proven time and again how reliable and efficient this methodology is."

Headin2001 From OCAU Forums Reviewed ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO Motherboard

"Asus and the Republic of Gamers have come up with another fantastic board for the enthusiast. The software included is plentiful and covers everything you could possibly need to use your motherboard the way it’s designed. From the included AiSuite for in OS overclocking and fan controls, to the LED Control Centre for adding that personal touch, it’s all there. The looks carry on the now long traditional red and black theme with shades of grey. The VRM setup is top notch, and the heatsink cooling it does a fantastic job. Matt black finish to the PCB itself allows everything to tie in together nicely. The board layout is well thought out to remove the chance of any unnecessary conflicts between cables and GPU’s or other add-in cards."

Thermaltake Suppressor F31 Chassis Will Last A Lifetime Reports eTeknix

"Thermaltake have really gone all out when it comes to build quality on this chassis. The side panels alone are insanely thick and heavy, so much so that it seems almost pointless having the noise dampening material installed, but it certainly couldn’t hurt. If you’re the kind of person who kicks your PC in a fit of rage while gaming, it’ll take its beating without sustaining damage, but I can’t say the same for the bones in your foot."

Something You Hand Down To Your Children - Silverstone EBA01 Wows Benchmark Reviews

With it’s 2cm base and it’s shear mass, this stand will be something you hand down to your children one day. Given how weighted the base is, no headphones will be able to topple it over"
