To start things off, let’s take a look at all of the cooling on the Crosshair Formula-Z.
ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR V FORMULA Z MANUAL FULL
Beyond that it is a full ATX board packed full of features, so lets take a closer look to see what it is all about. That means the headsinks have the older more aggressive styling. Being a little bit of an older board design its overall styling isn’t really what we see on the newer boards. Much like the packaging, with the Crosshair V Formula-Z being an ROG motherboard it does have the full black and red theme going on. Also slipped in with the disc is a small ROG case badge as well. Then you get a sheet of SATA labels as well as the software/driver disc. For the gamers still living at home you get a do not disturb door hanger. The I/O panel has the nice foam backing rather than metal springs that get caught on all of your ports when installing you motherboard.įor documentation you get a full user guide to help with any questions on installation or setup. Even nicer, they also included a black ROG crossfire bridge, typically these only come with video cards and most manufactures only include the ugly bronze colored version. Asus made sure to include a normal SLI bridge as well as a triple SLI bridge, both in black with the ROG logo on them. You also an ROG Connect cable for hooking up and overclocking remotely. Asus included one of their Q connectors that make hooking up your front panel connections much easier by letting you do it all out in the open then plug one plug in. The first has the motherboard in it and the second is packed full of accessories, software, and documentation.įor accessories we get a total of six black SATA cables, half of those have right angles connections on one end. When you open up the packaging there are two boxes inside. I love having this stuff on the packaging because when you shop in the store it is nice to know what you are getting without having to stop and research everything online before buying it. Asus even included a line drawing of the rear I/O panel with color accents. Below that most of the back is taken up by a full specification listing.
The back of the box has a few small photos of key features as well as the software.

Also behind the front panel is a little more information about the SupremeFX III sound card, Digi+ II power circuitry, as well as some of the software included.
The front opens up to show a full sized window that gives you full view of the board inside of the box.
The cover has some of the ROG artwork along with the product name and then some of the small badges from AMD and some of the other board features. No surprises here, the Crosshair V came in a standard ROG themed box.

Today I’m going to dig into it and see what makes it Asus’s flagship AMD board.ĪMD AM3+ FX™/Phenom™ II/Athlon™ II/Sempron™ 100 Series ProcessorsĤ x DIMM, Max. Well when looking to lock in a board for future AM3+ testing I ended up with the Asus Crosshair V Formula in my hands. As I have seen in the past on our forums, our Facebook, and even at our events there is still a large AMD following that is hungry for the latest and greatest to support their preferred vender as well. Due to Intel releasing new chipsets often a lot of people might think that the motherboard market has a big focus on Intel boards.
