ASUS ROG Maximus Formula VIII - RGB Done Right!

[barnsley]

It'll be overpriced but its nice that it now means the world doesn't have to do red and black everything..

Easily the first ROG motherboard I'd ever consider buying.

It's still not going to stop them from making Red/Black motherboards

Of course the world has to do red and black everything, the box will still be red, the debug will still be red and the logo is still red. The very presence of it feels red like the blood of your opponent.

Now where on the £170 - £325 gap in the range will it sit, my guess will be £270. But no matter what, it won't be overpriced and it will sell that is just a fact. At least it justifies its existence far more convincingly than the Extreme.

That's one seriously good looking board! Hoping Tom will take it for a video spin! Changing the Debug-Code LEDs is something I'm missing on my board.

Cool beans. Looks like they've used the same sort of thing as Dell/Alienware use on their cases. Software looks a bit crude though, I mean, it hardly shouts ROG.

Needs a skin.

Maybe Asus will apply this to their matrix cards that would be nice to see

Where did you see it, doesn't it look like this? Which is pretty ROG shouting to my eyes.

Hmm I saw a very basic pic showing hue? was it? Earlier in the thread.

Glad I'm mistaken though, that looks much more 'ROGgy' to me

Oh... so close, such guess work.

It's all black and dragon free, I wonder how wrong this can go. Hopefully EK fanboy. I'm sensing RGB troll though, i'm sure I said something good about it
