Overall and FV

The test results confirm it; the P9X79 Pro is an amazing motherboard. But where the board really stands out is in the details that Asus has included. The UEFI BIOS is packed with features and adjustability, as well as the included software that is just as capable. Asus filled in the gap with SSD caching now that it isn’t included on the chipset and managed to make it easier to setup and configure. They have even figured out how to boost the performance of your USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices, as if they weren’t fast enough, with their USB 3.0 Boost feature. It’s the attention to detail to the overall package that makes Asus one of the top motherboard manufactures in the world and the P9X79 Pro is an excellent example of that. I really found it hard to find a fault with the board. I enjoyed it so much so that this past weekend I had it out showing it off while gaming at a local LAN. I was able to trust the board to perform, even though I tossed it all together at the last minute. My only complaint was the lack of Asus’s X socket, a feature that is available on the Rampage 4 that allows you to use 1366 waterblock’s and heatsinks.

You might call him obsessed or just a hardcore geek. Wes's obsession with gaming hardware and gadgets isn't anything new, he could be found taking things apart even as a child. When not poking around in PC's he can be found playing League of Legends, Awesomenauts, or Civilization 5 or watching a wide variety of TV shows and Movies. A car guy at heart, the same things that draw him into tweaking cars apply when building good looking fast computers.

Before everyone goes out and spends a lot of money tomorrow, this board is something to consider. You could be upgrading your PC to the P9X79 Pro and Intel's newest and fastest CPU's!
